I am looking for a scanner that can handle a heavy load. I have multiple custom indicators that I would like to scan for all at once and not have to break them up with 3 or 4 seperate scans. Also would be nice to have it continuously be scanning when I day trade. TOS is making me scan each indicator seperately. My goal is to have them running in the background signaling me when a stock meets my criteria. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance:)
 
Solution
You can add multiple conditions to the same scan, just place them in the "all of the following" condition group. Each individual indicator would be a condition in this case. You can also just reference each indicator in a single condition, chaining them together with AND. Generally, you can not reference user defined studies, only built in studies can be referenced from within scripts, but the manual script editor within the scanner does allow them to be referenced, Saving the query itself, rather than saving the list of results, and then loading the saved query in a watch list creates a dynamic watchlist that will automatically update. You can even set up alerts with custom sounds when the lists change.
