If you need a version without indicator signal analytics, see Chart Manager by the same author.
Symbol Screener gathers signals from 5 standard indicators:
- Moving Average (MA)
- MACD
- Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- Stochastic Oscillator
- Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
All five indicators work simultaneously. In Single Symbol mode, rows represent indicators and columns represent timeframes — giving you a complete multi-indicator view of one instrument. In Multi-Symbol mode, rows become symbols, showing signals for a selected indicator across all tracked instruments at once. One click on any table cell switches your main chart to that symbol and timeframe for detailed analysis or trade execution.
Beyond the signal table, Symbol Screener creates sub-windows with mini-charts for multiple symbols and timeframes. Enable Signals on Charts to display BUY/SELL labels directly on mini-charts, or Plot Indicators to show indicator lines and signal arrows — turning sub-windows into full analytical panels without opening each symbol separately.
Oscillator indicators (MACD, RSI, Stochastic, CCI) support two display modes: classic sub-window mode and an extended main chart mode with signal arrows at bar open prices and dashed signal levels. This allows you to visually evaluate signal profitability and quickly optimize indicator parameters through the GUI.
All indicator parameters are fully adjustable through a convenient settings window with sliders, switches, drop-down lists and color pickers. Changes are applied instantly and saved automatically.
The application provides a high-quality interface with dark/light themes, resizable windows, and smooth grab-and-scroll behavior.
