Software to Screen Forex Market

Hi,

I am looking for a software solution to scan the forex market based on configurable conditions ... Ex: combination of moving averages, MACD, etc. ...

What is the best solution ?

I believe that TS did that, but perhaps there is a better choice?

Thanks in advance !

I believe MetaTrader 4 is a popular FX platform that would do what you want. Ninja could also do it. I'm not sure, but I would guess that Multicharts could too, and so could many many other popular platforms.

Re: Software to Screen Forex Market

I use Metatrader for graphics, but it seems to me that MT4 doesn't automatically scan all the forex pairs in all the time units..??...
I know that TS offers this feature, but I'd like to know if there is an alternative choice...

Re: Software to Screen Forex Market

As I mentioned, NinjaTrader will do that for you, unless I'm misunderstanding your question. I don't know if it's a better option than TS though, since I've never used TS before. Ninja is free though if you just want to use it for charting, so you should check it out.

And are you sure MT4 won't do what you want? I thought it could...but maybe I don't understand what you're asking.

I'd like to get real-time all trading opportunities identified on different time frames and different currency pairs, depending on parameters such as intersection of averages, MACD levels, etc ..
And I don't know if ninja trader can do that ???
Could you confirm ??

Ninja does have a feature similar to that, but I'm not sure if it will do exactly the same thing and work in exactly the same way. It is free though, so you can check it out for yourself.

Re: Software to Screen Forex Market

ok, thanks, I will try.
But I'm not shure that it's free to test in real time data...
Is it possible to use data from MT4 with Ninja ??

If your data feed is on this list then it is indeed free to use live, but some features will not be available to you (super DOM and ATM function).
