JStock will run this screener and display the entire list of stocks that match the required criteria.Īlso, the refresh interval for scanning stock prices can be changed if needed. From the list of indicators that show up, select the one created (MA in this case). Now, to use this for screening, click on Stock Indicator Scanner tab and hit Scan. Save the indicator by clicking on Save from right pane. In this example, the real time last price of stock is checked with it’s 10 day average price by using the greater than condition to generate an alert. The values of these blocks can be changed by right clicking and selecting Properties.
The output from these will be used to generate an alert (bell icon). Another input will be the 10 day average price of the stock (the star icon with green arrow), comparison operator (= icon). The inputs here will be the real time last traded price of the stock (the star icon). Now for example, a screener that will check if the stocks are trading at a price that is higher than their 10 day average price needs to be created, the required design will be something like below : To create a custom indicator, click on the Stock Indicator Editor tab. It does not need a specific programming language but rather a flowchart type of design wherein various blocks representing different elements like stock prices, constant values, historical and relative values of stocks, logical/arithmetic operators which can be put together to form a screening strategy. To get an alert if a specific stock has crossed a price above or below the desired value, simply enter those values in the Fall Below and Rise Above columns next to the stock symbol.Īn alert will be displayed if either of those conditions are triggered.Ĭreating custom indicators for screening of stocks is simple in JStock. Now, once the chosen market list is loaded, the entire list of stocks for that will be displayed. To add a specific symbol which may not be on the stock list (it does cover all the stocks so this is not really needed), select Database > Stock Database and add the stock symbol.
