Getting strategy to scan market

[kylie]

Hi,

I have written a few strategies that I have backtested using Strategy Analyser and that is all working fine. However, I am not quite sure how to use the strategy logic across an Instrument List to scan for opportunities. Rather than looking over the past data, I would like the logic to just identify present opportunities in all stocks within in index based on the logic coded into the strategy. I am not looking to auto-trade with these strategies as they are for my longer term portfolio and I want to check the charts before I enter.

My apologies if this is a silly question but I am missing a piece of the puzzle as I can't work out how to do this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Kylie.

Kylie, this would be easiest done in our Market Analyzer, though it could not run strategies...thus you might want to convert your logic into an indicator and then run the indicator on the index list of stocks to scan...you can then autoSort for example by volume or signals triggered...

Hi Bertrand,

Thanks for the information. I've never tried developing an indicator so I'll give it a go and get back to you if I have any issues.
