MadScan

MadScan is a financial solutions firm that provides real-time stock scanner software to traders. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Financial Services, Real Time and Trading Platform, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

MadScan is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and around since 2008. You can read more at madscan.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with MadScan, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
