RadarScreen DemoRadarScreen - Next Generation in Custom Real-Time Market Scanning
While most market scanning software packages simply display a few canned quote and analysis columns, RadarScreen takes market scanning to a new level. It allows you to scan hundreds of symbols in real-time-based on over 180 technical and fundamental indicators as well as your own custom criteria.

Just imagine being able to watch-tick by tick-as a multitude of symbols and/or intervals are sorted and ranked in any order you choose. Imagine the ability to customize your windows to dynamically change color to show almost countless market activities.

RadarScreen - Real-time market Scanning

All this and more is possible with RadarScreen. RadarScreen is an advanced multi-symbol analysis and scanning tool that gives you the ability to use the full power and flexibility of TradeStation's EasyLanguage to define anything from the simplest to the most complex criteria for real-time market scanning, ranking and custom indicator column calculation. It enables you to create custom scanning formulas that not only reference the current bar’s data, but also historical data for prior bars—and even your own custom filters and indicators. Below are just some of the scanning features RadarScreen offers you:

   
Over 180 Indicator Columns Included, All Written in EasyLanguage — With RadarScreen, you'll be able to choose from a library of over 160 built-in indicators, all written in EasyLanguage, to apply to your symbols, and monitor them in real-time. This library of technical indicators includes some of the most popular trading concepts—Moving Averages, Stochastics, RSIs and many more so you can start tracking a host of criteria from day one. Simply apply the indicators to the page of symbols you're following using a drag and drop interface, and watch as they update with each tick of the market.
   
Custom Indicator Columns — But RadarScreen doesn't limit you to just built-in indicator columns. That's because you can create your own custom indicators with the power and flexibility of EasyLanguage®. With EasyLanguage, can describe the trading concepts or criteria you want to see using English-like statements and everyday trading terms. So, you can design your own scanning criteria, define your own indicators and analysis techniques and combine over 100 built-in math functions and technical indicators.
   
Unlimited Scanning Criteria — The actual criteria you can scan for are almost countless. For example, you could have one column list the top symbols stocks and/or futures contracts that have been trending in the last 5 days. And you could have another column track the stocks and/or futures contracts with the biggest volume increases over their normal volume for the day. And these are just two simple examples of the analysis possibilities you have, thanks to the power and flexibility of EasyLanguage.
   
Custom Filters — You can easily insert custom filter columns, again written in EasyLanguage, with full ability to color-code background and foreground of cell indicators as columns in RadarScreen. Choose from TradeStation’s library of built-in indicators or create your own indicators using EasyLanguage and then enable them for use in RadarScreen.
   

Dynamic Ranking and Sorting — RadarScreen dynamically ranks and sorts up to 1000 symbols in real-time based on your own custom sort criteria. Symbols are ranked relative to others based on all column headings at once, and on numerous criteria. You can even break up symbol categories into different pages or sub-sort the symbols on a page by including a blank row between categories. By placing a blank row between groups of stocks, you can sort and rank within different groups all on the same page. Then, watch as the symbols change ranking positions according to the conditions you have set.

   

Color Code with SmartStyling™ — With SmartStyling, you can color-code each cell to change dynamically as the market shifts. For example, if you'd like to see a group of symbols ranked by volume, but you'd also like to quickly identify which stocks and/or futures contracts are trading above the 10-day moving average, you can ask RadarScreen to color code cells for symbols with that criteria.

   

Custom Alerts — Wherever you are, RadarScreen tracks the markets for you and sends you alerts in a host of different ways. On your screen, if you're at your computer. By e-mail, if you're at the office. You can even set up RadarScreen to deliver quotes at timed intervals to your computer via e-mail. Simply ask RadarScreen to send you updates on a list of symbols you're tracking, and specify any time interval in 5 minute increments. RadarScreen even knows not to send you updates if there has been no change in the specified time, assuring that you don't get pages after market hours. And, you can set alerts on every single symbol within the list you're tracking, every single column and every single indicator, whether custom or built-in, which means that you can know instantly when a trading opportunity arises based on your criteria.

   

Different Bar Interval for Each Row — You can set bar intervals independently for each row in RadarScreen, allowing you to see and compare chart values and data in a tabular format. For example, you can choose to have one row display MSFT daily data and another display MSFT 5 minute data or have one row display E-mini 50-minute data and another display 1 minute data. The column calculations for each row will be based on the interval specified for that row, providing the ability to see and easily compare chart values in a tabular format.

   
Support for Symbol Lists — Add symbols easily with customizable lists, and rank and sort them as you choose. RadarScreen includes the ability to add symbols easily and quickly by simply typing them directly in a cell. Plus, RadarScreen includes pre-built symbol lists of industry sectors, exchanges, etc. for even more ease of use. You can actually create and save your own custom symbol lists, as well. So, adding lists like "My Favorite Trade Candidates" is a breeze.
   
Pre-Built and Custom Templates — Allows you to quickly change columns/sorting/ranking criteria by applying your favorite RadarScreen template with just a few mouse clicks...
   
Support for Custom Time Sessions (e.g. Pre/Post Market Data) — Allows you to create your own custom sessions in RadarScreen to customize what data you want to see. For example, you can choose to see pre-market data, regular session data and post-market data reflected in all indicator columns on a symbol-by-symbol basis or choose to see a custom session that only displays the E-mini trading between 9:30 and 4:00.
   
Multiple Processor Support — We've also designed it to include support for Multiple Processors and multi-threaded applications. This means that you can unleash the full potential of the latest state-of-the-art operating systems by working with up to eight CPUs on the same machine. How does this help your trading? It will insure that you get maximum power and speed, and that your computer will work more smoothly.
   
Replaces the Quotes Window in TradeStation — The RadarScreen window includes the full functionality of the Quotes window in TradeStation. So, you can use it as a regular quote window and then apply custom indicator columns and filters when needed.
   
3rd Party Data — RadarScreen® now supports data that enables you to plot proprietary data or data for exotic markets.
   
Corrections Indication — Instantly know when a correction is pending by glancing at the symbol cell. RadarScreen® will indicate when a correction (tick insertion, deletion or edit) is received. You can apply the pending corrections by simply right-clicking your mouse.
