Software to Screen Forex Market

Recommended Posts

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.

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...

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'm looking for a software solution like : Real Time Market Scanner, Price Scan, Scanning Software

But for forex market...

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.

ok, thank you for this answer !

It looks like corresponding to my needs.

I was hoping to find a solution that can be fully tested without needing to open an account ... (eg Metatrader).

But if I open an account, then what are the points that should make me choose NinjaTrader rather than MultiCharts ..??..

You should look which one meet your requirements the closest.

In order to trade you do need data, but you can't get a data feed through Ninja. I linked to a page on the Ninja website that listed compatible data feeds, so you should check that out.

You will need to open a demo account with one of the brokers to get data. As far as I know MBT (the only one to offer spot FX) don't offer NT demo accounts. Interactive Brokers might do you too as they offer spot FX too.

 

Mind you I wasn't aware NT has a decent scanner (not having a requirement for one). Shows how much I know! Looks like there market analyser will do the job for you if you can get the data.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
