Coding help to make process easier, Auto('ish) creation of watchlist and then populate grid from scan results

[Bassindora]

I continue to refine the intraday trading process and would request coding assistance if possible. Grok and Claude were unable to help.

My goal is to run a scan, populate a watchlist (which I can do manually, but would like to automate the process for easy updates during the day), and then take the list (scan or watchlist) and auto populate the high level alert grid that I have.

I currently manually create a watchlist from the scan results, then manually select a stock for each chart in the grid. Takes time, is cumbersome, and slows things down in the middle of the day as stocks join/drop off the scan.

Currently, when a stock displays the interest signal, I click on the watchlist row that is linked to the analysis window to do the evaluation of buy possibilities.

The image of the scan/watchlist/grid is attached. It is too large to past into the message body.

Thanks.

Save the scan as a Watchlist. New scan results will automatically appear on that watchlist.

Thanks. Didn't realize that they repopulate the watchlist automatically.

Now for the hard part, how to automate/semi-automate taking the list of stocks from the watchlist and putting them into the grid.

TOS does not have the capability to automagically take a symbol from source A and place it at destination B, that must be done manually... The quickest and most efficient way is to Right-Click on a row and use Send To to send to one of nine Colored/Numbered Links... But if your grid has more than 9 Charts, or some Colors are already in use, that could be problematic...

I agree. I tried that approach but that meant I had to choose what I would thought would be the 9 most active stocks from the watchlist. The whole intent is to reduce my SWAGs.

sorry, answering from my mobile. perhaps I am misunderstanding?

Populating the grid is the easiest part of your process, yes?

After many, many hours of hair pulling, I read your post and was seen curled up in the corner sobbing, "I love you guys!"

That worked perfectly. Thanks a billion.
