How to setup custom scans into TOS from here....standard method not working!

[squatsandstonks]

I am sure this has been answered dozens of times on here, so please forgive me, but after scouring this forum I can't figure out what I have done wrong. The scan in particular that I am trying to import into TOS is the trend reversal indicator scan which I found here:

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/trend-reversal-indicator-with-signals-for-thinkorswim.183/

From that thread, I saw Benten posted the link to the scan as follows:

Scanner​

If you would like to scan for new signals, be it on the daily, hourly, or 15m chart, here is the scanner for it. Made by @theelderwand

I used the following thread to import the scan:

https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...nner-50-from-script-provided.6909/#post-66907



It imports the study successfully, I call it "trend reversal scanner" and it is saved.

I go to stock hacker, click the 3 lines in the upper right that are the "show scan query menu"

I click "load scan query"

the only options that are available are "top 10" and "public" The "personal" options is grey (cannot click) I do not see the trend reversal scan anywhere. If anyone can help point out my mistake I would be deeply thankful. I can create a video if needed, but I'd have to download some sort of screen capture software first

@squatsandstonks It won't show up in the Scan List until you save it there once you create the actual scan... Be forewarned that scans using this Study are problematic.

@squatsandstonks In addition to what @rad14733 posted - Custom study scans don't work in paper money. That may explain why the "personal" menu option is "locked".
