Scanning Stocks like Metastock 'Explorer" tool in NinjaTrader

[Bhavika]

Hi,

I'm moving from Metastock to NinjaTrader. I've gone through guides and videos, which has been great help.

One Feature I could not find in NinjaTrader is "The Explorer" function of Metastock. Which is used to scan multiple stocks with your strategy/logic, so you only see stocks which meet your criteria. Does NinjaTrader have a scan/search stocks function? For example I want to run a scan on s&p 100 stocks with a condition MA over 90 and volume above X, once the system does the search it shows only stocks which meet the criteria.

Appreciate your help in advance.

Hello Bhavika,

Thank you for your note.

NinjaTrader does not have that exact feature, however, you could use the Market Analyzer, which is NinjaTrader's answer to the traditional quote sheet, a high-powered quote sheet that enables real-time market scanning of multiple instruments based on your own custom criteria. You can use the Market Analyzer to display indicator, market, and trade data in a highly customizable manner adding a wide range of functionality to extend the features of traditional quote sheets, such as the ability to view indicator values, create alerts, and link to charts and order-entry windows for instant instrument switching.

Here is the Market Analyzer Display help guide to cover these features.

Here is a great place for new users to start which contains many video guides that will help with initial configuration of the platform:
