End of day software with screener for stocks/etf's

Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good software package for stocks/etf's that have built in screeners for end of day data? In particular I am looking for a screener for candle patterns.

 

By day I am trading futures full-time, but for retirement accounts and other money, I mainly look at stocks/etf's. It would make that job easier if I had a screener that can go out and find candle patterns for me and bring them back.

 

I just need EOD since these are mainly longer term plays. I'm not particular if the software is web based or installed on the computer, just the screener is important.

 

I currently use MultiCharts for my futures trading. Not sure if it's best to stick with that and find a data provider for EOD stock data or not.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

I tried Worden awhile back and for whatever reasons, I just did not care for it. Maybe I'll take a look again.

 

Stockfetcher was recommended at elitetrader as well and at first glance, it's pretty nice for $8.95/mo. Almost seems too good to be true!

Not many long term stock traders outperform the market. Why not just invest in Spyders or Diamonds ETF? As you trade the futures of these markets full time anyway you should be able to find a good long term entry point.

notouch - I do invest in a handful of ETF's, as well as stocks, as well as tax free bonds, as well as CD's, etc. etc.

 

The point of the software would be to look for ideal entry points when adding to an existing position. I understand what you are saying though, that just dollar cost averaging may be the best option and to be honest, I'm not sure what is best.

Brownsfan - I realize it's been a while since you created this thread - but having found it (while having some of the same questions myself) I was wondering what solution/software you ultimately settled with? if any? :confused:

 

Any help is much appreciated,

Trade Navigator has an EOD scanner with numerous 'built in' settings - plus the ability to 'roll your own' criteria using both technical and / or fundamental data.

 

While I no longer trade equities, I wrote a fundamental scanner for The Trade Navigator Software Which is avilable free of charge. My point isn't that you might find the fundamentals scanner I wrote useful, but rather, I'm not a programmer, and I found it quite easy to create that which I needed. As such, anybody should be able to do it as well.

 

HTH.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
