After years of decline, Sequoia has today shut down the Market Analyser 7 software.
Dearly beloved by generations of technical traders and considered the shining light among its peers, it appears the competition smothered it by sheer weight of numbers.
Sadly missed by all who got to know and love your various versions - from 2000 over Calypso, Cairo, and Bourse 7 - we salute you.

Unbelievable... As a tradetech/mdsnews member from way back (and being out of the market for 10yrs), I only today got access to the Bourse Data free trial in the attempt to find Market Analyser. I was disappointed to find it was not the same software, and didn't get a response from their Support.

I've been looking around this week, but have yet to find anything comparable (the market screening/Analyser part in particular). Any recommendations?

Gibbo! Now that's a blast from the past :) How have you been?

I'm no longer scanning with Trinity; but I know that two friends of our old club have been experimenting with IncredibleCharts, which has a reasonable "screening" facility. They're also playing with TradingView. Sue is especially happy with their version of channels.

I've been trading with Paritech for many years, using Pulse. No Scanning and Backtesting, but I'm happy with the charting package, and the speed of trades is out of this world.
IM me if you'd like to re-join our Bartrade group.
 
Hi,
I have used the Market Analyzer since 2010 and feel lost without it, cant seem to get my eye in and feel the price with any other charting package. The charting was superb and am now in the process of finding a replacement. Have found Trading view but its not as good
Any suggestions on something of similar quality to the Market Analyzer , just need the charts and only tools I need are volume, trend lines and Fibonacci?
Why did they even close it down? I was happy with what was offered and was shocked that they closed it as they did not warn me and all my watchlists are gone.
Thanks
 
Hi Pixel,
You helped me get my Market Analyser going properly many many years ago mate and I join with you and these guys in missing the MA, terribly!
You don't realise how good it was until it has gone.
Thought there would have been a bigger re-action to losing it tho!
Now I have to learn the Bourse?? Doesn't look to have anywhere near the balls of the MA.
Would be nice to know reason but we prob never will.
Cheers

G'Day Wildthing;
How I sympathise with you ! I saw the writing on the wall several years ago, and switched to Paritech. The charting in PULSE took a little getting used to, but I manage. Pity they don't have a scripting language - that was really the bee's knees that set the MA off and in a class of its own. Seems though it was too hard to understand. Once Craig had left, Tech Support ran out of puff.
I'm still in touch, day trading with some of the old crew. Two of our gang gave Bourse the best shot, but in the end gave up because it is just too limited, and at the current rate, who knows when it's half usable.
Remember Sue and her famous channels? Lost them all and there is no way to recreate them in Bourse. They have now switched to Trading View and IncredibleCharts; between those two they almost got what they had before in one package. But it took them lots of skull sweat to get this far.

Hello Pixel,

Have you found anything to replace the analyser yet? Used it for nearly 15 years and they just dumped us.

I'm sorry, FF
I am in close contact with a number of Old Friends. Some of them have studied the replacement offerings, e.g. Bourse in various web-based guises. Compared to MA, it was so much chalk vs cheese, and everyone I know of has discontinued their subscription - something I have done a few years ago.
I have been trading on Paritech Pulse with their Broker OpenMarkets. The scanning isn't quite as flexible and the charts lack Craig's genius scripting, but we get by.
Two friends have joined TradingView and picked some scanning features from IncredibleCharts. It's a lot more labour-intensive, but who in their right mind believed the "10 minutes per day" road to riches. :p
 
After many years in the wilderness I tried to check(re-connect) out the MA its a pity it has closed down I missed some of my heroes take a bow Udo...onwards and upwards
