Change-Universe-in-Strategy-Screener

Because the data feed that powers the Screener (Q-Data) does not support DAX, COT futures and anything else but the U.S. market.

Is there any possibility to screen other data with a strategy?

it’s currently not possible.

@kinsey

Given that you seem to have the data in Metastock format, you could create a C# strategy for screening on the last bar of your DataSet of choice?

Yes , the data are in Metastock format, but I'm not familiar with C#.

Well, you could convert your block strategy to C# and then follow https://www.wealth-lab.com/Discussion/How-to-turn-a-strategy-into-a-screener-9356

We appreciate running a C# converted strategy isn't ideal (not as efficient), but it should still work. If you're going to author complex strategies (including painting the Chart with fancy stuff or doing XY plots with ScottPlot), then C# is the way to go.

Using a C# strategy isn’t necessary. The Screener tool accepts Blocks, C#, and Rotation. If you want to simulate running the Screener on custom data just run your Strategy using the most recent year of data only.

Why it is not so easy like in former times?

It’s because you’re so used to doing things in WL4 you are shocked by the differences in WL8. If someone was trying to go to WL4 from WL8 I’m sure they would be even more frustrated.

I also want to point out, the Screener tool in WL8 is a completely different animal than that Screens tool in WL4. The WL4 tool let you just screen against your local DataSets. You can do that now by just running the Strategy on a DataSet. Now true, you cannot scan ALL your DataSets like you could in WL4 and it might be worth adding a feature like that back in.

The WL8 Screener tool submits your Strategy to our back end service that can screen the ENTIRE US stock market for signals in a matter of seconds. WL4 had NOTHING close to that.

I think your WL8 is a "great thing"
I'm trying to come in the "great" world.
But is not easy.
I'm working with WL8 every day to learn.
For trading: I'm living in WL4.
I have a PC with no other programms like WL4,
and WIN10, TAI-PAN Data.

When I didn'd have the need to scan the entire US stock market.
I will scan the COT-data,.....
