Scanner recommendation

Discussion in 'Strategy Building' started by mfaulk57158, Jan 13, 2021.

  1. I've created a fairly decent strategy that seems to be profitable. My only issue now is finding an accurate scanner that will enable me to act on my strategy in real time. Scanz is the platform I currently use, and it's proven itself to be immensely inaccurate. I use a combination MACD and SMA crosses on multiple time frames and Scanz is unable to provide accurate results. I wanted to pursue Trade-ideas but it doesn't allow customer SMA values. Any advice?

    Strategy summary

    MACD line cross on the 30 or hourly

    MACD line less than the signal on the daily

    SMA crosses using the 5 and 13 day

    ADX cross as well

    You can email trade-ideas and they can give you a custom formula based on the SMA value.

    As for your scanner, you can get a software that allows custom scanning(you can write your own scanner). A good one is Medved Trader. But I don't think you can use the scan on multiple timeframes at once
     
  6. I'm not sure I understand what you mean my scanner. Are you saying I can buy software to scan Scanz?

    No I mean, as in what relates to scanner recommendation. Medved Trader is a trading platform that includes a customizable scanner
