Hi, I have a dynamic watchlist that is not producing results for Futures.
My dynamic watchlist has the following conditions:

Even after appending this function to my dynamic watchlist, the Futures ticker /UB did not populate on my dynamic watchlist even though it appears, and continued to reappear on the Stock Hacker Scanner after pressing the Scan button multiple times.
To confirm that /UB met the condition of my code, I added my code to a custom chart study, and it has been confirmed that /UB met the condition of my code because the custom study returned a value of 1.
Please know I have tested this very code with Stocks, using the
My dynamic watchlist has the following conditions:
- 1,000 or greater in volume
- 4 consecutive green candles in the 15 minute timeframe
- Higher highs
- Higher lows
- Only show results for the follow Futures tickers:
- /CL:XNYM
- /ES:XCME
- /NQ:XCME
- /SI:XCEC
- /UB:XCBT
- /ZS:XCBT
Code:
def greenBars;
def higherHighsLows;
if (GetSymbol() == "/CL:XNYM" or
GetSymbol() == "/ES:XCME" or
GetSymbol() == "/NQ:XCME" or
GetSymbol() == "/SI:XCEC" or
GetSymbol() == "/UB:XCBT" or
GetSymbol() == "/ZS:XCBT") then {
greenBars = sum(close > open, 4) >= 4;
higherHighsLows =
high[0] > open[1] and
low[0] > low[1] and
high[1] > high[2] and
low[1] > low[2] and
high[2] > high[3] and
low[2] > low[3];
} else {
greenBars = 0;
higherHighsLows = 0;
}
plot scan = greenBars and higherHighsLows;
Backtesting:
What I have done was applied the code shown above, without the
GetSymbol()
functions, to the Stock Hacker Scanner. Next I run a scan to search for Futures with 4 consecutive green candles, higher highs, and higher lows. For example, /UBZ20 appeared on the Stock Hacker Scanner as a result. I then quickly referred to the Futures dxfeed ticker for the /UB and appended the following to my dynamic watchlist:if (GetSymbol() == "/UB:XCBT"
Even after appending this function to my dynamic watchlist, the Futures ticker /UB did not populate on my dynamic watchlist even though it appears, and continued to reappear on the Stock Hacker Scanner after pressing the Scan button multiple times.
To confirm that /UB met the condition of my code, I added my code to a custom chart study, and it has been confirmed that /UB met the condition of my code because the custom study returned a value of 1.

Please know I have tested this very code with Stocks, using the
GetSymbol()
function with only TSLA, ZM, AAPL and it works as expected; just not for Futures. I have also added alerts for changes to the dynamic watchlist and received none.
