Building a ProOrder System on a ProScreener

  I didn’t find anything about this… i was thinking: it’s possible to build an automatic trading system based on a screener?

  For example: i have a screener that search and select stocks with a certain level of a selected value (volatility, volume or whatever); then the automatic system takes a stock from the screener (on a time basis of my choice) and executes the strategy on it.

  All screeners can be the base for a trading system.

  They are made to highlight instruments that meet conditions meant to be profitable.

  Basically you just need to make conditions used by the keyword SCREENER enter a trade, then set TP and SL.

  But practically speaking, on which asset should I perform the backtest if the screener goes to analyze a multiplicity of assetts?

  You may sslect the 2-3 most performing assets returned by the screener and backtest them.

  Or you may backtest it on your preferred assets. If it performs good keep it, otherwise put it in the trash bin.

  I was referring to a trading system that select the asset by itself: he runs the screener, he select the most or one of the most reliable asset based on the screener results, and then backtest the strategy on it. But also if it would be possible, the system MUST be runned on a specific assett, so the “automatic selection” phase is impossible!?
  I guess it’s still far away with nowadays prt’s possibilities 🙁

  PRT does not allow multi instruments in coding.

  It’s not possible to have a screener then for the screener to turn itself into a backtester.

  It’s not possible for a backtester to be a screener first then turn back into a backtester.

  You could suggest it to PRT on the Form below …
