Watchlist Column Stuck at "Loading" in ThinkorSwim

[HSI1600]

ThinkorSwim platform is running. I added a public watchlist script today and when I put it in a watchlist column, the watchlist only has 4 symbols. Two of them say "loading". Is this typical?

Update: had to delete and reload - thanks

Watchlist columns are working fine for me.

Is anyone experiencing massive loading issues on the custom columns in thinkorswim? i download a lot of data and build models based off of them so having a value "loading" really puts a crimp in my data analysis. I'm this close to building these indicators in excel and just forgetting about tos!! I call the help desk and they always act like its just me, but I make sure I'm not doing anything more than 50 stocks at a time. the odd thing is the mobile platform has no issue with the display but I cant export from the mobile platform, I've tried screenshotting and converting the mobile screen to a pdf excel file but its completely hit or miss.

@EDDY GARCIA The more symbols in your watchlist or scan, the less likely they will populate properly during busy trading times... Sometimes even afterhours/overnight... I believe the maximum limit is 1500 custom cells, but complex cells could reduce that number...

Just a general question, how do you all work on custom quotes scripts intraday if the custom quotes never load ("loading") once changes are made after market open...? For me, custom quotes are so delayed and never load after open (if I had to shut down my computer and re load, I would be done for the day). Any tips or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

My watchlist columns have be doing that all week. Was curious to know if anyone has loading problems in watchlists window columns that have custom script? And if so, is there anything to be done to get the custom script data to load?

 

[EDDY GARCIA]

Ok everyone give it another shot. the loading issue seems to have been resolved. i terminated all active sessions and started a new one. of the 11 sectors the ten custom columns are all populating.

In my watchlist column for Relative Volume I always have a few stocks that say they are "loading" and never show me the number, anyone else experiencing the same problem? Anyone know how to fix this?

It has been covered several times... The fewer symbols in the watchlist, and the fewer custom columns with complex calculations, the better... Sometimes collecting garbage helps... It's under Help > System if you've never used it...

trying to see a rsi crossover in a watchlist column, all 42 stocks show "loading" , will loading be replaced when a rsi crossovere happens ?

at a minimum TOS refreshes its servers with your watchlist scan queries about once every 3-7 mins on average depending on the server load. If you are sure you script is a function script you may have to wait. Other scenario is you have too many "customized" results in your entire platform's active session. To help put you at ease...today seems a bit slower than usual, i have a few columns showing loading as well.

 

[rad14733]

My watchlists are "loading" slow today as well... Some cells haven't yet populated since market open this morning... Patiently waiting...

Any reason why its says loading when I added mid term and long term indicator on watchlist? It was showing me today evening but all of sudden I clicked something on TOS and all my indicators vanished and watchlist channel got reset to my previous set up or so.. and when I added again it shows loading and not showing value. Am I missing anything?

 

[ssmike123]

May be TOS is updating . Try again in AM

Watchlist 'loading' Issues:

1. Time of Day
2. Other 'stuff' that you have open in your app
3. Empty garbage Help > System
4. Delete the offending column and then re-add
5. You did lots of 'stuff' today and you need to sign off, delete your GUi and sign back on.
6. For me -> my watchlists work better if I have on my fuzzy red slippers (another way of saying that after-hours tend to be less busy; therefore less loading errors.

I do lots of 'stuff' that upsets the app. So I run multiple instances of the ToS app. The 2nd one has only my active trader and my watchlists.
I also re-install all instances of the app every 30-45 days. I am however, an extreme user.

I realize this thread is 6+ months old and hasn't been updated since, but I'm just wondering if anyone has learned anything new since the last post? What's odd is that if I click "edit" then "okay", it immediately updates and "loading" is immediately replaced with the value I was looking for.

I hit on 2 with the 15 minute scan lol... FWRG and SREView attachment 26103
Zooming out to a daily scan I hit on 50 - hour scan hit on 6 and 30 minute hit on 4

hi, I noticed that you have several different custom quotes on your scanner, I would like to know to know the memory usage set up that you're using, I only have 4 custom quotes on my watch list and it doesn't work fine, most of time is on loading even if I have just a couple of tickers on it, when market is close everything works well, I have a intel i9 and 64 RAM, I tried different thighs like set affinity but nothing is working for me
I truly appreciate any suggestion

thanks in advance

Watchlist Column Loading Errors:

1. ToS only supports 1200–1500 cells loading total. Therefore, if the table is large; errors will occur.
2. If an instrument is highly volatile and /or the servers are busy; loading is more likely to appear.
3. If the instrument has little or no activity; loading is more likely to appear
4. If loading a custom script that contains complex operations or recursions, loading is more likely to appear. Keep watchlist scripts as simple as possible, otherwise Schwab will throttle them.

The above are 99% of the causes of loading appearing in a watchlist column.
