Can I scan the whole market and rank for Top 10?

[hejhej]

Hi all, newby question, so sorry if this is dumb! Is it possible to create an EA that scans the whole market and ranks by Top 10 for some criteria (e.g. RVOL, % change from open, etc)? So far all the documentation I've seen seems to point towards EAs only being used on 1 specific stock at a time.
Thanks in advance!! :-)

Yes, it is totally possible to scan multiple symbols/assets. There are examples in the CodeBase, Articles (and in the Market section) of just that.

The MQL5 documentation also explicitly presents that concept too, as almost all functionality has a parameter for selecting the symbol to be used for the function.

For reference ... MQL5 Book: Creating application programs / Creating custom indicators / Multicurrency and multitimeframe indicators
