Starting scan on associated watch list doesn't include current day price for daily chart

Starting scan on associated watch list doesn't include current day price for daily chart. As a result, the alert manager logs erroneous alerts from stale historical data.

This issue appears to only affect daily charts. My alerts are sourced from my spreadsheet, and my associated watch list contains about 250 tickers.

The alerts are calculated by comparing previous day price action with the current day price. Since the scan processes stale data from the previous day, the alerts are false positions.

Is there a way to automatically update the daily charts sourced from my associated list with the current day price before conducting the scan.

I found the solution to my answer.

Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Scanning Large Number of Historical (Daily) Charts

Enable Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 2 >> Subscribe Real-time (RT) Data and Download Historical Data During Scan to [NOT] prevent real-time data from being subscribed to for the symbols being scanned.

Also, I found another solution.

Select Edit >> Download Daily Data for Associated Watch List Symbols.
