MDBlaze Apex Trend Help Guide

Learn how to read the scanner, open chart setups, and understand the Apex Trend Indicator after MDBlaze team completes your MT4 setup.

Quick Start

MDBlaze team will install MT4, connect the data feed, add the Apex Trend Indicator, add the Apex Trend Scanner, and apply the required template through remote desktop.

Keep MT4 open and connected to the MDBlaze server.
Keep the scanner chart open.
The scanner monitors the selected symbols automatically.
When a setup appears, click the symbol row to open the chart.
Review Entry, SL, T1, T2, and T3 levels before making any decision.

MT4 must remain running and connected for live data and scanner updates. If MT4 is closed or disconnected, the scanner cannot keep updating in real time.

Scanner Source Setting

The scanner can fetch symbols from different sources depending on how you want to monitor your watchlist.

Source	Meaning	Best Use
Preset CSV Set	Uses MDBlaze's predefined symbol list and preset mapping.	Recommended default
Market Watch	Uses symbols visible in MT4 Market Watch.	Custom watchlist users
Manual	Uses manually entered symbols in scanner settings.	Small custom lists

By default, MDBlaze Apex Trend Scanner uses Preset CSV Set 1, with a batch size of 30 symbols, from OTR_Scanner_Presets.csv. After changing the scanner source, restart or reload the scanner chart so the symbol list is rebuilt properly.

Scanner Default Settings

Setting	Default	Meaning
Symbol Source	Preset CSV Set	Uses predefined MDBlaze symbol list
Preset CSV Set	Set 1	First group of symbols
Batch Size	30	Number of symbols loaded in one set
Timeframe	M5	Scanner checks 5-minute charts
Scan Interval	3 seconds	Refresh frequency
Minimum Bars	500	Required chart history
Entry Cutoff	14:00	Avoids fresh late entries when there may not be enough time for setup development
Popup Alerts	On	Shows MT4 alert popup
Sound Alerts	On	Plays alert sound
Push Alerts	Off	Mobile push alerts disabled by default
Open Chart on Click	On	Click symbol row to open chart
Apply Template	On	Applies MDBlaze chart template automatically

Scanner Columns

Column	Meaning
Symbol	Script or market being scanned
TF	Timeframe, usually M5
Signal	BUY, SELL, or blank/no setup
Entry	Technical entry level generated by the scanner
SL	Stop-loss level
T1 / T2 / T3	Target levels
P/L	Current point movement from entry
Score	Signal confluence score; higher score means stronger technical alignment
Time	Signal detection time
Status	Current state of the setup

Status Meaning

Status	Meaning
ACTIVE	Setup is still active
T1 HIT	First target reached
T2 HIT	Second target reached
T3 HIT	Third target reached
SL HIT	Stop-loss touched before any target
SL AFTER T1	T1 was reached first, then price reversed and hit SL
SL AFTER T2	T2 was reached first, then price reversed and hit SL
No setup	No valid current setup
Warming	Waiting for enough chart history
No data	Symbol data is not loaded or available
CUTOFF	Signal is after the configured cutoff time

Example: if entry is 1257, T1 is 1268, and SL is 1246, and price first reaches T1 but later reverses and touches SL, the scanner status will show SL AFTER T1.

How to Use Apex Trend Indicator

When you open a chart from the scanner, MDBlaze Apex Trend Indicator shows the setup direction, entry level, stop-loss, target levels, current P/L movement, and current setup status.

Green panel

Indicates a BUY setup.

Red panel

Indicates a SELL setup.

The top panel shows the main setup summary. The bottom panel repeats Entry, SL, T1, T2, and T3 so levels are easy to read.

Indicator Settings

Setting	Recommended	Meaning
Preset	AutoFromScanner	Uses scanner-selected preset automatically
Show Entry Arrows	On	Shows entry arrow on chart
Show Historical Arrows	Off	Keeps chart clean
Only Latest Current-Day Signal	On	Shows latest valid current-day setup
Show Entry/SL/TP Lines	On	Displays levels on chart
Show Right Price Labels	On	Shows level labels on right side
Show Trade Panel	On	Shows top/bottom setup panel
Reserve Right Chart Space	On	Keeps labels visible

Users should generally keep Preset as AutoFromScanner. Changing presets manually may produce different results from the scanner view and can create confusion.

Troubleshooting

Issue	What to Check
Scanner shows No data	Check MT4 is connected, data is flowing, and the symbol is available in Market Watch.
Scanner shows Warming	Wait for enough bars to load; usually 1-2 minutes after opening MT4.
Scanner shows no setups	This is normal when no valid trend condition is present.
Chart does not open on click	Check Open Chart on Click is enabled in scanner settings.
Chart opens but indicator is missing	Contact MDBlaze support to reapply the template or files.
Scanner not updating	Keep MT4 open, connected, and avoid closing the scanner chart.
Alerts not coming	Check popup, sound, and push alert settings in scanner inputs.
