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.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
