Scan. Arm. Trade your rules.
This is AutoScanTrade, a trading desk for Windows. It is built for fast-moving small caps, from the premarket, through market hours, and on after the close. Here is the whole desk, in two minutes.
A live scanner, every session
On the right, a live scanner lists the stocks that pass your filters: price, gap, volume and relative volume. Every alert gets its own row, newest on top, so nothing is overwritten, and each row tells you which alert fired, and when.
Click a row. Trade it.
Click a row to arm that stock. The trading panel, the ladder and the chart all follow it. Set a size, then buy or short with one click, or with a two-key hotkey, such as SHIFT+F1.
The whole trade on one rail
The trade ladder draws your entry, stop, target and trailing stop, each with what it is worth, in dollars, at that price. You can even drag a level to move it.
Charts, indicators and signals
The chart opens in your browser and draws the same levels, with more than twenty indicators, and chart-signal arrows.
Automation, on your rules
In the full desk, the AUTO/BOT window holds the automation: entry rules, filters, exits and sizes, long and short side by side. Nothing trades by itself until you arm it.
Compare profiles, side by side
Save your settings as profiles, and run up to twenty of them at once, in paper, on the same live market.
Every trade, recorded
Every closed trade goes into the journal, with its costs, and ANALYSE ranks your profiles by what they actually did.
Practise in paper first
The desk always opens in paper mode: live prices, and a virtual wallet. Your API keys stay on your own PC, and your stops are software stops, working while the desk is running.
