About RadarScreen® & Quotes

Exclusive to TradeStation®, RadarScreen® is a powerful real-time opportunity scanner. You can use many of the same historical charting indicators on hundreds of symbols in one window to find unique trading opportunities. Each row in RadarScreen is equivalent to a chart, with access to the same real-time and historical data, and hundreds of built-in and customizable EasyLanguage indicators. RadarScreen also has dozens of pre-built symbol watch lists you can import, and you can create your own custom lists. Using RadarScreen, you can sort and rank symbols dynamically in real time, and create custom alert rules and powerful visual alerts.

 If you are not subscribed to RadarScreen, you will receive a full-featured Quotes window. However, you will not have access to historical data and indicators. To upgrade to RadarScreen, contact TradeStation.

 To create a RadarScreen or Quotes window, click the RadarScreen  or Quotes  icon in the TradingApps window. A new RadarScreen or Quotes window is displayed. RadarScreen is shown below.
