Please correct me if I am wrong but from my understanding, scanners are updated every 4 ~ 7 minutes. I use a strategy based on the 1 minute time frame. I back-test my code by adding my scan as an indicator onto my chart. During the market hours, my scanner is not returning the results even though I see the condition being met on my chart. So my question is, what is the minimum requirement in terms of length of time should my condition remain true in order for my scanner to populate with results? I am suspecting 1 ~ 2 minute true condition lengths may not be enough for the scanner to consider it a result. Perhaps the reasoning for this is to reduce the noise that may populate the scanner. Would appending
within n bars
resolve this so that the condition is met for a longer period of time? Is there any way to decrease the update latency?
