Post From: Scanning Large Number of Symbols

Dear Support, I would like to ask some further guidance regarding this topic. I am now trying to scan a list of ~150 symbols - all Historical Daily charts (using SC data). There are 5 Daily charts open, all of them linked together (and to an Associated Watchlist containing all my symbols) and each chart has 6 alerts (30 total). When I run the Chart -> Start Scan, the scanning goes through the entire list seemingly correctly and the results are posted into a previously cleared alert log that I process later (print). Then I manually empty the alert list and when I check and compare the printed results by going through the entire watchlist manually, I many times find that new alerts come up and displayed in the ALert log that have not been included in the first automatic scan. The time between the automatic scan and the manual check is very short (some minutes) so it can not be an issue, because the alerts change very slowly. It seems that the missing alert signals are still somehow related to missing data from the chart history that is not downloaded during the automated scan, but downloaded when I manually click on and display a symbol. But I'm not sure what causes this because most of the symbols are updated/scanned correctly - there are only a random and very limited number of missing symbols. I do not know if it matters, but the Sierra instance I run the scanner in, is a 24/7 running copy hosted on a server. So there are no SC restarts between the periodical scans I do each day. Can you please advise how can I fix this problem? Thank you in advance. |
