Does anybody know of a free or cheap forex screener where I can tell it what I’m looking for (like a mathmatical formula of some sort) and have it spit out the pair?
Or even better, a way to have it tell me which pairs I want to watch, alert me when somthing I want to know about happend, or even give me some statistics on pairs that I’m going to be watcing that day?
I generally start my day doing all of this and although I can do it usually I dont always ‘get it right’ and going through so many charts every day just to find one or two that might match my criteria has gotten old very fast… actually it got old along time ago… but I’m just left with a bit more time right now to question the methodology/look for an easier way.
If not does anybody know of a way that I could get quotes in python? I was thinking of taking metatrader data but I’ld prefer streaming quotes, however I’ve been googling and I cant find out how much that would cost (for streaming quotes, which I’m sure would cost some money) I could take the demo metatrader data manually to test this (afaik, its in some format or another) and then have it spit out the few I’ld want to watch…
I eventually want to make an automated alert system, and I dont want to use metatrader If I’m going to go through all this effort I’ld prefer to have my platform options as open as I can (eg python)
plus I’m familar with python, but I havnt a clue about MQL, i also dont know of a way to use wine metatrader talking to python talking to my computer which can (As of recently) talk to me…
Its part of the cool factor, but its also part of the this would really help me, factor 
If anybody has any leads I’m willing to do the legg work, no guarentee I’ll finish it but it would be open source/available to the public… maybe not exactly what I screen for, but would allow others to do a similar thing…
I also kinda need to kill time/wana program somthing benificial, this I figure I could possibly do even though it wont be easy.
