Can Pro-Screener output be used to place Trades Automatically?

galaxyraid · 2019-11-01T03:31:12+00:00

Custom Pro Screener coding is great. However, rather than display the Top X values in the Screener list, I would like to place trades automatically (I’m an experienced coder – so happy to code strategies). I cannot find anywhere that I can grab the output from the ProScreeer of the instruments so that I can pass it to my automated code. For example: Example: Oversold RSI REM Calculate the 14-period RSI MyRSI = RSI[14] REM Filter: RSI < 30 Filter = MyRSI < 30 SCREENER[Filter](MyRSI AS "RSI") Now, I would like to take the top 5 Oversold RSI Stocks and place trades automatically via Pro-Real code. Please assist – how can I get output of the above SCREENER in my code, rather than display it on the screen! Many thanks Ric

ProScreener does not allow trading automatically from its lists.

Many thanks for the prompt response.

Wow, that’s a real flaw in design that one can’t trade automatically from Pro-Screener’s output. I would have thought that would be quite a fundamental/basic requirement!

How would you decide which of the many results of a screener to trade? Set criteria and choose the top result?

Try it a few times on Demo and let us know if it works … set a trade going on the top result (with exit criteria etc) as soon as your Screener gives a result?

Let us know how you get on please?
