Hi SC support,

Is that possible that user define certain pattern or rules then SC will follow these rules to search for the correct symbol?
If US has 3000 stocks, If I worked out the rule. Shall I open 3000 stock symbol chart then scan?

You can import a list of 3000 stocks into the Chart >> Associated Watch List:

And then you can run a scan for your Alert Condition among the symbols in that list. Here is the documentation:

Thanks a lot!

For scan function, is that only support the simple alertcondition? Or it do support the spreadsheet function?

Scanning also works with the Spreadsheet Alert study.

It likely would be slower though because it does take more time to fill in the spreadsheet rows after changing the symbol of a chart when you are scanning thousands of symbols.

One last questions:Currently I use the color bar based on Alert Condition to scan for several samples.How could it to give me a hint which symbol valid on that alert condition? I means is there any result list for me to check? Thanks!

Yes. The results of the scan are in the Window >> Show/Hide Alerts Manager >> Alerts Log.

The reason this is the case is that when the Alert Condition is TRUE for the last bar the chart, it is added to the log.

I just try that I guess you means in window - show/Hide alert manager - alert log?
But I have not see any log in there.But on my scan chart, I do see some bar colored by pink.
So is there any mistake I made?Strange

Yes, that is what we mean.

You will only get Alert messages for the last bar where the Alert Condition Formula is true.
