SR Zone Scanner for MetaTrader 5

Related: ATR Ranked Support and Resistance Zones - another powerful indicator for MetaTrader 5 traders.

SR Zone Scanner automatically detects and draws Supply & Demand zones from multiple timeframes directly on your chart — no manual drawing, no guesswork. See exactly where price has reacted before, how strong each level is, and get alerted the moment price approaches a key zone.

Also recommended: multi forex scanner mt5 - similar indicator with strong performance on MetaTrader 5.

Built for price action and scalping traders who need clear, objective levels instead of subjective hand-drawn lines.

What it does

- Automatic Multi-Timeframe Zone Detection
The indicator scans up to four timeframes — M15, H1, H4 and D1 — and identifies areas where price has repeatedly reversed. Each zone is built from clustered pivot highs (Supply) or pivot lows (Demand), so you see real structure, not arbitrary lines.

Zones from higher timeframes (H4, D1) are drawn in deeper, more saturated colors — instantly showing you which levels carry more weight, even on a lower timeframe chart like M5.

- Zone Strength Rating
Every zone displays a touch-count label, e.g. H1 [4x] . The more times price has reacted at that level, the stronger and more reliable the zone. Set a minimum touch count so only meaningful zones are drawn — no clutter from single-touch noise.

- Active / Broken Zone Tracking
Zones automatically update their status. Once price closes through a zone, it's marked broken and won't trigger further alerts — keeping your chart and notifications relevant to current price structure.

- Instant Zone Alerts
The moment price approaches or enters a strong zone, you get notified through:

Popup — on-screen alert window
Push notification — straight to your MetaTrader mobile app
Email — sent to your registered MT5 address

Set the alert distance in pips so you're notified just before price reaches the zone — perfect for scalpers who want to be ready for a reaction trade.

- Info Panel
A compact Fox Wave panel shows at a glance:

Nearest Supply zone above price — exact level, touch count, source timeframe, distance in pips
Nearest Demand zone below price — same detail
Active zone count per timeframe (M15 / H1 / H4 / D1)
