Scanning British Stocks

[cpatte7372]

Hello,

I understand that esignal market scanner does not cover the London Stock Exchange, however can someone tell me if esignal market scanner can scan individual charts? If it can I could chart
British Stocks and have the scanner scan them for particular setups.

Alex,

Thanks.

Alex,

Is it possible for an efs to scan charts to determine if a particular pattern has emerged. For example, if I loaded 20 charts could I somehow run a efs to scan all 20 charts for a particular set up?

Thanks.

An efs can only address a maximum of 5 symbols so you would have a limitation there with regards to what you are trying to accomplish.
Why not load the same efs on all the charts and have it provide alerts?

Alex,

My intention was to add a huge number of symbols/charts taken from the London Stock Exchange and scan them for particular setups. Since esignal market scanner does not cover stocks on the London Stock Exchange I'm trying to find a simple way of scanning British stocks.

The way you suggested is ok, however, it would mean me pulling up the chart of over 1000 stocks and viewing them for particular setups. You can just imagine the length of time that would take.

Cheers

Can someone please explain how I can get the efs to address 5 symbols as Alex mentioned.


Thanks

Enclosed below is an example (the 5th symbol would have to be the same as the one plotted in the price window)
Alex

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Sym5");
    setCursorLabelName("Sym",0);
    setCursorLabelName("Sym2",1);
    setCursorLabelName("Sym3",2);
    setCursorLabelName("Sym4",3);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue,0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.lime,1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,2);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.cyan,3);
        
    var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("Sym", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp1.setName("Symbol");        
    fp1.setDefault("intc");
    
    var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("Sym2", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp2.setName("Symbol2");        
    fp2.setDefault("msft");
    
    var fp3 = new FunctionParameter("Sym3", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp3.setName("Symbol3");        
    fp3.setDefault("ge");
    
    var fp4 = new FunctionParameter("Sym4", FunctionParameter.STRING);
    fp4.setName("Symbol4");        
    fp4.setDefault("aapl");
}
        
function main(Sym,Sym2,Sym3,Sym4) {
        
var vSymbol  = close(0,Sym);
var vSymbol2 = close(0,Sym2);
var vSymbol3 = close(0,Sym3);
var vSymbol4 = close(0,Sym4);

return new Array(vSymbol,vSymbol2,vSymbol3,vSymbol4);
}
