Screener Functionality

  I am about to trade Forex with Ichimoku and Stochaistics in Multiframe.

  I would like to use the Screener as a tool for condensing information from several timeframes and indicators rather than eyeballing my way through all forex pairs.

  With defining personal indicators I can define numbers for direction and strength of trend both for Ichimoku and Stochaistics within each timeframe. So now I have a number from two indicators (ichi and stoch) in each timeframe.

  The problem is that I only have one column in the screener. My solution to that so far has been to add different amounts of zeros to the indicators before I sum up all of the numbers in the screener to be shown together in a long serienr.

   

  Example;  Ichi Daily 57 (times 8 zeros), Ichi 4 Hours 88 (times 6 zeros), Stoch Daily 125 (times 3 zeros), Stoch 4 Hour 275. Built / added together it should be 57 88 125 275 (being a numbers person I then see what pair to choose for trading).

  My problem is two;

  • The screener column (criteria) dont show more than 6 numbers before it starts to round of to even K (thousands) or M (millions) and “hide” my serienr . Can I change this in some way ?
  • I find the accuracy of the calculations instable from time to time. A majority is right but there is also some calculation errors. Both from the indicator where I produce the original number and from the screener code to the screener Column – Criteria. Is this because the program is not built for this ? And can I find some work around to fix it ?

  GREATFUL for  ideas From a newcomer that just loves all good content on this ProRealCode forums and library

  If I understand correctly, you are using ProScreener as an indicator dashboard? You don’t want it to give trading signals but instead, continously dealing indicators informations? I ask this question because if your idea is to to give signals, only one column with 1 number is enough.

  About the 6 numbers limitation, I was not aware of, I think it cannot be enlarged, since it’s a built-in behavior of the platform.

  For the wrong calculation of your screener and indicators, I can’t help, you’ll have to share the codes! 🙂
