im currently using IB. im trying to have a list of every stock that is making a new high or low. their software doesnt allow me to do this. where can i find this? on an intraday instantaneous basis.
You may want to try eSignal for this data. They have intra-day market scanners....... It costs a little more ($50'ish / monthly I believe) but if identifying is a major component of your trading strategy then it's definitely worth the extra few bucks a month....... Good Trading!
esignal does not provide this. im looking for a program to scan every stock making new highs/lows as they happen. anyone? scottrade software had it but i dont want to open another account with them just for this feature.
eSignal's stock scanner does provide high/lows "based" on your parameters established - just not in real-time - slight time delay. http://esignal.com/scanners/rallyscan.aspx You original post was not clear as to the timeframe you were looking for a new daily high.low, 1st hour, etc.... If you're looking for software that does nano-second high/lows then you have to get that from your platform provider (to the best of my knowledge). I trade on Blackwood Pro and I have that nano-second (as well as the option for longer intraday timeframes) new high/low feature. Too crazy though as the stocks keep changing every split second...... The best alternative for you to get this data might be with a software vendor. Good Trading!
