    Just to let everyone here know, James was a tremendous help in showing me where I was making a rookie mistake in my scan setups, to wit, I somehow had mixed the filters for ALL OF THE FOLLOWING with ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, causing it to basically lock up. It needed to be "ALL." Thanks, James! (And check out his guitar videos, he's a hell of a player!).

    James, to go from watchlist to chart you place a link column in watchlist, pick a number/color and then put that same number/color on your chart link. Then you can click that link in the column send to.

    James.. Thank you so much! This was the missing piece for me!! Creating the pattern is the key to it all. Ive learned how to turn a watchlist into an alert. Now I can make 312, 212, 122, combos and make them alert/text me during the day while at day job. Again thank you so much. -For the follow up reader wondering. To make a scan/watchlist alert and text make sure the program has your cell number then run the scan you want to watch.. On the "Search Results" all the way to then click the three lines and youll see the "Alert when scan results change" Thats it you have an alerting maybe even texting watchlist based on whatever you want.

    Hey, James - thanks a ton for making this! Wanted to see if I can return a bit of the favor by helping you... you mentioned that you didn't know how to go from the scan items directly to the chart - one of the things you can add to the layout of the chart is the 'Send to' option (e.g., 'Send to [3] Blue', which will send that symbol to charts linked to 3/Blue.) Just right-click on one of the column heading in the search results and select 'Customize', then add whichever 'Send to' you prefer. I like having a mini-chart in the same column as my watchlists so I can see the result immediately.
    Thanks again, and I hope you find this useful!

    James Im not sure if someone mentioned it, but I saw another tutorial like this and several people who are STRAT students said that the inside or the outside does not include equals to.. It is greater or lesser than but that equals negates it being an inside or outside... great videos and thank you again

    To go from scan to charts, go to customize column and you can add a link to "color", like [1] RED, so it will populate on chart once you click on color tab. Also once scan is done, you can detach gadget and pin it to the side and scroll the results. cheers!

    Beautiful work James. Thank you for sharing this. According to ToS high level trade desk, proper scan using the flip is not currently a thing at ToS. Effective Strat IS at least a two person job.

    • @jameskfox
      @jameskfox  2 роки тому

      Yes your ToS charts can start new bars on the flip … but I don’t know how to change the scan engine to work off bars drawn on the flip. Of course this Doesn’t really change anything on Mo, Wk, Day charts.

    @luknuk3m 4 роки тому

    Thanks for taking the time to make this. Are your hourly scans using xx:30 as the start of the candles? I think Rob calls it the Flip. For some reason, my scans based on the hourly are using xx:00 as the start of the candle whether or not I have EXT checked.

    • @jameskfox
      @jameskfox  4 роки тому +1

      Lucas Schlecht yes I have same problem on hourly scans. My charts use the flip xx:30 to display bars, but the scan engine uses hourlies that start at xx:00. I haven’t figure out how to change scan engine to use the flip. Maybe not possible.
