Re: Scanning program for Metastock (& TC2000) trend traders: A very fine and easy-to-use software called RAMP specialized in scanning stock data files for trend lines and breakout candidates has been developed by Nebadawn, Inc. This software was only compatible with TC2000 before and now is also good for Metastock users. I have tries RAMP for more than a week and believe this is the trend tracking program I have been looking for in the last few years. (I have tried a trend scanning program from Metastock before but I was not happy with it). RAMP scans for up, down and horizontal trend lines in your data files. Users can easily adjust the criteria for the trend lines they are looking for including # of touches on the trend lines, minimum length of the trend lines, etc., which is a feature an experienced trader would like to have. It takes RAMP about 6 minutes to scan 1300 + stocks in my data files and provides the scan results on the screen. The number of candidates picked by the program varies from day to day depending on the market conditions and how the user adjust the trend line criteria. When the scan is done, I can handily click the button to view the charts of the candidates one by one and narrow down the list into a few stocks I want to focus on. The process takes me just about 25 minutes to complete. Which is a lot of time saving for me. On the other hand, I want to mention that RAMP can not make money for a trader automatically (I don’t think there’s a program can). Basic chart reading skills are necessary to use this program properly and effectively. Web site for more details and free trial: nebadawn.com Happy trading.
