The Real-Time Market Scanner (also known as "Screener" or "Quote Window") is a data grid (quote sheet) which can display quotes, market data, and indicator data in spreadsheet format.
The Scanner is indispensable for monitoring, screening, searching, and organizing many symbols according to user defined criteria. The Scanner can accept symbols from different data feeds.
The Scanner can also plot charts automatically without having to manually add the chart via a new chart window. Symbols can also be sorted by user-defined criteria.
The Scanner is used to:
- Monitor real-time market data in different resolutions (ticks, minutes, days, etc)
- Find trading opportunities based on customizable criteria and sorting
- Plot studies that are either newly built or imported from other sources
Scanner features:
- 5,000 symbols per Scanner window
- 200+ built-in studies
- Multiple-core and multiple CPU support
- Symbol sorting either on a per-second basis or based on a timer
- Ability to mix different data feeds within the same Scanner window
- Ability to use different resolutions for each symbol
- Ability to use all resolutions available in MultiCharts
- Ability to handle both real-time and end-of-day data
- Access to locally stored data
- Ability to handle different custom sessions for different symbols
- Ability to link symbols within a Scanner to a chart
- Ability to create a chart directly from the Scanner with a mouse click
- Ability to choose the number of bars/days back for study calculations
- Visual, audio, and e-mail alerts
- Direct access to PowerLanguage Editor to view and modify study scripts
- Script-driven text generation in the Scanner cells
- Customizable text and background colors
- Dedicated market trend histogram
