Stock Scan and Filter

[Guest amackie]

Hi, 

I'm using the ProRealTime account, albeit still in the demo version, but noticed that I can download third party ad on options for my platform. Are these safe/ do they work? 

I am after a stock scanner similar to the TD ameritrade Think or swim stock hacker, where by I can filter stocks for whatever I wish. For example, I can select a 3% change during premarket and volume above 5000 etc. This way, i can filter to the stocks i deem suitable for me. The ProScanner that IG has doesn't seem to do this. Any ideas please of an add on? 

 

Thanks

Hi @amackie, if you are meaning the prorealcode options they are safe as far as I am aware. Check the prorealcode library and forum, you may find the screener you are looking for already exists or you can find help to build your own.

Please also make sure you are fully aware of how the individual codes work when downloading from third party sites. 

If you're looking at automatic trading strategies on PRT (or any other offering such as MT4 or API stuff etc), what results will occur from each one, how to stop them, and maybe test on demo accounts first to learn the ins and outs. Due diligence is always key when looking at trading software you download.

Stock scanners (like the ones discussed above) on the other hand are less risky, but still - please make appropriate fact checking measures if you believe it to be appropriate.

Ive had a look through prorealcode but xouldnt find the exact thing i was looking for. Could anyone please recommend a stock filter / screener like in the attached photo please?

We have something similar to this on our website - is this what you're looking for: Market Screener ? It's a webpage rather than anything related to PRT. @rimmy2000 has also written a couple of amazing posts on how to get the most out of it if thats what you're looking for.

Only just noticed on the IG Market Screener there is also a selection of  pre-set screeners in the 'screens' drop down box offering different factor inputs than those on the opening page.

some good suggestions here from @TrendFollowerand @Caseynotes

I think you will struggle to get the pre-market data unless you have access to live (not delayed) prices.

The IG Screener will give you the change versus prior five days but not change on y/day close - which is presumably what you are after. I think you will have to look to a few of the sources above from @TrendFollower as I cannot see a volume criteria on IG.

I think the best bet is the Tradingview screener which does have volume and UK stocks/exchanges. The others I think only do US exchanges Finviz, Zacks and Motley  (I think).
