Strategy Testing/Buy-Sell Signals

V

VTTrader

As quick background, I'm a small-scale trader who has managed to do fairly well with some basic tools: QCharts, and some elementary tools for picking equities which meet my needs. I trade when I see confirmation of a trend in several timeframes, and tend to do so in small lots, taking small but steady profits.

My question: I'd like to utilize a software package which can scan multiple securities in real-time and alert me when one or more meets my buying criteria. Ideally, such a package would be able to look at indicators in multiple timeframes and tell me when they meet my requirements. At the moment, my optometrist and chiropractor probably love me, since I monitor ten to twenty equities throughout the day, patiently waiting for the optimal setup.

I know Tradestation has its Radarscreen, but I really don't want to use it if I don't have to. Anyone know of a decent, reliable data/software package which allows custom programming of MY criteria, and which can simply scan a watchlist of MY choosing? Does eSignal do this? Does Tradestation sans Radarscanner?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!
 
Hallo. We have just released WLD3 and it has a real time scanner included. The question is if it does what you want it to do. You might need to take a look at it or ask more specific questions of what you want the RT scanner to do.

Regards.
