What Forex BvsB Zone Scanner Is

BvsB Zone Scanner is an analytical software tool that runs inside the user's own cTrader account. It monitors price data across 40+ instruments (Forex pairs, metals, energy, indices), calculates technically significant price levels from historical market structure, and notifies the user when price approaches those levels.
The software:
- calculates and displays levels and related data
- sends informational notifications in-platform and to a Telegram chat
The software does not open, modify or close positions, does not make recommendations, and does not assess whether any action is suitable for any particular user.


PART 1 - Installation on cTrader

1.1. Requirements
- cTrader Desktop - available from your broker's website or from ctrader.com
- An active demo or live account with a broker that supports cTrader
- The software file received from us (.algo) or the source file (.cs), depending on your rental plan
- A stable internet connection

Supported operating systems:


Account type. If you intend to hold positions in opposite directions on the same instrument at the same time, the account must be of the Hedging type rather than Netting — on a netting account opposite directions offset each other. The account type can only be changed while no positions are open.
Hardware requirements are modest, but since the software loads history for 40+ instruments we recommend at least 4 GB RAM.
Note: the software runs only in cTrader Desktop (Windows or Mac). cTrader Web and the mobile app do not support running cBots.

1.2. Saving the File
Once your rental period is activated, you will receive the file by email or via a download link. Save it somewhere easy to find, for example on your desktop.
The filename will look similar to: BvsB_ZoneScanner_[your broker].algo
Note: the software is rented, not sold. Access is valid for the duration of your rental period, and the file is licensed for your personal use only. It may not be transferred, shared or redistributed to third parties.

1.3. Placing the File

Windows:

1. Open File Explorer
2. In the address bar, type: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots
3. Press Enter
4. Copy the file you received into this folder

If the folder does not exist, launch cTrader once - the platform will create it automatically.

macOS:
On Mac there is no need to copy the file into a folder - simply double-click the .algo file. cTrader Mac installs it automatically and confirms when done. The software will then appear in the Algo section.

For Mac users: the compiler built into cTrader Mac is intended for relatively simple algorithms. More advanced ones require the free .NET SDK (from microsoft.com) and switching the compiler in the cTrader Algo settings. If the software fails to build on Mac, check this first.


1.4. Activation

1. Open cTrader Desktop
2. Select the Automate tab (Mac: Algo)
3. In the cBots list, locate BvsB Zone Scanner
4. If the file is in .cs format, press Build and wait for confirmation with no errors

If it does not appear: close and reopen cTrader; check that the file sits directly in the Robots folder, not in a subfolder.


1.5. Adding It to a Chart

1. Open any chart (for example EURUSD)
2. Set the timeframe to Daily (D1)
3. In the Automate tab, click the name → Add
4. The parameter window will open

Important: the software monitors the full instrument list regardless of which chart is open. One running instance is enough. Several instances at once will produce duplicate notifications.


1.6. Core Parameters

For the first run, the default values are sufficient.


Exact parameter names may vary slightly between versions.


1.7. Starting and Verifying

1. Press Play (▶)
2. Open the Log tab
3. During the first minutes the software loads historical data for all instruments - this may take 1–3 minutes
4. Once loading is complete, the log will confirm it is active

PART 2 - Creating and Connecting a Telegram Bot

The Telegram bot is your own notification channel. We do not see or access your notifications.

2.1. Creating the Bot with Bot

1. FatherIn Telegram search, type @BotFather
2. Open the official account (with the blue verification badge) and press Start
3. Send the command: /newbot
4. Provide a bot name, for example: My Market Alerts
5. Provide a username - it must end with bot and be unique, for example: john_market_alerts_bot
6. BotFather will reply with a confirmation and your token

2.2. Saving the Token

The token looks like this:

7482910355:AAFq2xLpZ9tRmKd4vNhY7wQeS1cXbUiOp3M

Warning: the token is effectively the password to your bot. Never publish it or share it with third parties. If it is exposed, go to BotFather → /mybots → API Token → Revoke to generate a new one.

2.3. Finding Your Chat ID

The token identifies who sends the message. The Chat ID identifies who receives it.
Simplest method:

1. In Telegram search, find @userinfobot
2. Press Start
3. The bot replies with your ID, for example: Id: 482910355

Alternative method:

1. Find your newly created bot in Telegram and press Start — mandatory, otherwise the bot cannot message you
2. Send the bot any message
3. Open this address in your browser, replacing <TOKEN> with your token:
4. https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates
5. In the response, find "chat":{"id":482910355,...}

2.4. Notifications in a Group (Optional)

1. Create a Telegram group
2. Add your bot to it
3. Send any message in the group
4. Open the same getUpdates address
5. The group Chat ID starts with a minus sign, for example: -1002345678901

Enter this ID including the minus sign.


2.5. Entering the Details

1. In the Automate tab, stop the software (■ Stop)
2. Open the parameters
3. Fill in the Telegram section: Enable Telegram → True Telegram Bot Token → paste the token (no spaces, no quotation marks) Telegram Chat ID → paste the ID
4. Press Apply
5. Press Play (▶) bot

2.6. Verifying the Connection

After starting, the software sends a confirmation message buy the button - Test Telegram :

BvsB Zone Scanner ICMarkets TEST | Telegram connection working! | Time: 2026-07-24 06:57 UTC | Instrument: EURJPY

If the message arrives, the connection works. If not, see Part 4.

PART 3 - What the Notification Fields Contain

This section explains what each field contains technically. It contains no instructions on how to act and recommends no action.

3.1. Notification Structure

🔴 SELL DE40 | D1sw High | Level: 24798.600 | Price: 24921.650 | REV BUY STOP: 25008.237 | TP: 24748.476 | RR: 2.0 | 2026-07-23 07:11 UTC

🟢 BUY USDCHF | 6M High | Level: 0.81395 | Price: 0.81659 | REV SELL STOP: 0.81033 | TP: 0.82600 | RR: 1.5 | 2026-07-23 11:42 UTC


3.2. Field Reference



These fields are the output of calculations on historical price data. They take no account of the user's account size, experience, risk tolerance or financial objectives. The software does not specify position size and does not assess whether any action is suitable for any particular user.


3.3. Other Message Types

Cancelled notification

🚫 CANCELLED Sell DE40 Bounce | Level=24798.60000 |
Reason: price moved 1.001% (> 1.000%) | 2026-07-23 08:20 UTC

The calculation no longer meets the original criteria. Common reasons:
- price moved X% - price has moved further from the level than the configured threshold
- not opened Xh - the configured time limit has elapsed

Outcome message

✅ CLOSED Buy USDCHF | PL=612.52USD 48.9p | Entry=0.81197 | 2026-07-23 11:41 UTC
❌ CLOSED Buy XAUUSD | PL=-3313.61USD -3289.0p|Entry=4117.95000|2026-07-23 12:12 UTC

This is the software's internal calculation statistics - the system tracks how price developed after each notification and records a theoretical result.

Important: these figures are a theoretical calculation, not real trades, and not your account result. Past or theoretical results are not indicative of future results. A real result would differ due to entry timing, position size, broker spread, commissions, swap charges and the user's own decisions.

Connection test

1. Confirmation that the bot is correctly connected. Sent when the software starts.

3.4. What the Software Does Not Do

- It does not open, modify or close positions
- It does not see, monitor or cancel pending orders created by the user
- It has no access to your order functions or account funds
- It does not specify position size, risk limits or capital allocation
- It makes no recommendations and does not assess suitability for any particular user
- It guarantees no outcome

How - and whether - to use the information the software calculates is entirely the user's decision.

PART 5 - Continuous Operation (VPS)

The software only runs while cTrader is open and connected to your broker. If the computer is switched off or sleeps, monitoring stops.

For uninterrupted operation we recommend a VPS (virtual server):

• Many brokers offer a free VPS to active clients
• Alternatively, any Windows VPS with at least 2 GB RAM will work
• Choose one located close to your broker's servers

Installation steps on a VPS are exactly the same as above.
