  • Scanning British Stocks

    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.

    Cheers

        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.

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



                PHP Code:
                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);
