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.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
