Hello,

Thanks to @tomgilb, I have a Spreadsheet System for Trading (hereafter referred to as "System") that I like, and would like to apply it to multiple symbols simultaneously. I've seen documentation for how to scan a watchlist for an alert, but is it possible to set up a watch list, have a System reference the watchlist and then place a trade on any symbol in that list when a Buy Entry or Sell Entry condition is true? Or to accomplish this, would I need to open up a separate chart for each symbol in my watchlist, each with a separate instance of the System running?

Thanks!

Yes you definitely need separate charts and a separate instance of the Spreadsheet System for Trading study. You definitely do not want to do scanning and involve an automated trading system.

You can use the same-named Spreadsheet System for Trading study on all of the charts if all of the charts are in the same chartbook.
Each chart will have its own sheet.

If each symbol is using the same formulas, you only need to edit the first sheet if each Formula Source Sheet Number is the same as the first sheet.

Thank you, all! I was hoping there'd be a slightly less cumbersome way to do it, as my watch list changes every morning, but this makes sense. Thanks again!
