Scanning?

I want to implement a scanner very much like Tradestation's Radarscreen: Paste a list of 1000 symbols and have it up and running and scanning with ACSIL studies. I might consider using spreadsheets for that if they would run fast enough but the documentation says that they are slow compared to ACSIL... speed isn't a high priority, a few seconds lag would be acceptable

This isn't natively supported. SC don't think there is enough demand, because, most of their user base trade futures. Refer to WHY such a weak SCAN OPTION in Sierra There are a couple of options: Spreadsheet Hybrid: You can create custom studies in ACSIL, combine them with simple alert conditions, and then configure TRUE/ FALSE values in spreadsheet cells. So a spreadsheet would be the front end UI There are big limitations here though: * Performance will take a hit if you have 100s of charts loaded with complex studies. * There is no conditional color formatting- so you can't visually differentiate between signals, or even TRUE/ FALSE( eg true and false both appear the same color) * There is no sorting, you can't sort spreadsheet cells based on values or TRUE/ FALSE conditions. * you can't see historical conditions TRUE conditions, conditions will only appear in real-time, or with whatever hold period you have configured. Build you own Scanner using color bar studies: You could load up 100s of the chart in chart book each with color bar/ background based alerts, then by using the study/price overlay, you can overlay into 10 regions on 1 chart. So if you had 100 charts, every 10th chart would act as the base chart where all the overlay studies were loaded. Attached is an example using SPY in each subgraph, however, each subgraph( (90 shown) could be any ticker you chose, and all sorts of color coded conditions could be applied- you can see historical signals throughout the day aswell. If you had a high DPI monitor then you could crunch down each base chart and monitor 100s of tickers on a signal monitor. *You can arrange this anyway you wanted and line it up with a quote board to resemble what you can achieve in other platforms. *This is more efficient than using a Spreadsheet as the frontend. Infinity Futures have some examples of building a scanner if what I'm saying doesn't make sense- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAXvZe_O8Yc&t=1134s |

Not sure if this is the type of scanning you are looking for. But scanning is documented here: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Scanning for Alert Condition Across Multiple Symbols Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

The user is referring to "Tradestation's Radarscreen" This Supports 2000 realtime symbols where you can configure studies/ alerts in real-time on a front end UI and Sort by study values. The closest thing to this is a Spreadsheet Hybrid study. |
