I'm in a similar situation. I have a scan like yours but I use "All optionable stocks & ETFs" which is around 5100 tickers. I've used Metastock for the last couple decades but don't like their service much anymore. They were bought out and went from a one time purchase to a monthly subscription and their data feed fees have gone up and they now charge extra for some indexes.
I modified all my indicators/trading systems to display on other services like TOS etc but I need actual data downloads to run the high/low and EMA scans.
I still have an old version of Metastock that will run that isn't subscription but it won't install if I have the newer version as they only allow one version at a time. If I could just get the data, I could do everything on it and it's actually better. The new version doesn't allow ratios/operators between stocks/indexes and some other features the old one does.
I haven't found any data providers that allow old fashioned downloadable data that you can keep locally on your drive that is cheap. I miss QuotePlus! I keep using Data link which I think is just Reuters but their fees keep climbing while providing less and less.
If you ever find a good cheap data source, let me know.
I hardly come on SI here anymore and only do once a week or so to check your scan numbers and make sure we're in sync. I use mine in chart form. We've been making lower highs for the last few months which is a warning in my opinion.
