Inserting a New Scan

TradeStation provides a way to create and format scans that will allow you to save results that you generate by entering and selecting criteria and conditions and are saved on your local drive.

When a new Scanner window is created the new scan wizard will open automatically and walk you through the process of inserting a new scan. In inserting a new scan using the wizard, you will be able to enter general information, select a universe to scan, set a criteria or conditions for the scan to generate the results you want. After you insert (create) the scan, the Scanner will allow you to schedule scans based on an intraday, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and to set results and enable notifications based on your personal preference.
