Hi, I've created a scanner to monitor multiple symbols based on an alert, as stated in: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Scanning for Alert Condition Across Multiple Symbols The problem is that my "Associated Watch List" contains 400 symbols, and it is made in 1minute timeframe, so I was wondering if this could make Sierrachart miss some alerts. The thing is that when I enable "continuos scanning" it keeps jumping through all the symbols and takes more than 1 minute to come back to the first one, so my question is... Sierrachart is internally checking if alert is TRUE in all the symbols at the same time? or it will only do the cheking sequentially and then we could lose some alerts? If this is the case, any idea to not lose any alerts in my case? (400 symbols of 1minute timeframe). Thank you very much and regards. |

Yes you could definitely miss a true Alert Condition. You would need to have really 400 charts open to do what you want. But these charts can be kept in the background and not created windows: Disabling Sierra Chart User Interface to Eliminate Graphics Load For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you very much John. That would be a good option. Another two questions related please: 1- As another solution, I've thought that maybe if I split the symbol list into 4 or 5 sublists, and then I execute 4 or 5 chartbooks at the same time (each one containing a sublist) then it would work better as it doesn´t have to go over the full list. Is that correct? 2- I also would like to execute a trade in SIM ACCOUNT when alert is true (I have a "spreadseet system for trading" inside as a study, with the "Buy Signal" cell filled). Will the trade be executed in every single symbol the alert is detected? Thanks in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-03-26 19:17:38

It is better than the situation of having them all in 1 list. As to which will be better for performance, you would need to try each and see how it works for you. 2- I also would like to execute a trade in SIM ACCOUNT when alert is true (I have a "spreadseet system for trading" inside as a study, with the "Buy Signal" cell filled). Will the trade be executed in every single symbol the alert is detected?
The issue with this is that you need to ensure that the condition to execute a trade in the spreadsheet (Buy Entry/Sell Entry) is reset with each symbol. This is necessary, as the signal needs to go from False to True to actually indicate a condition to act on. If it just stays as True, then there is nothing to tell it to actually do anything.

Thank you very much John. Finally I choosed the option of creating 100 new charts inside the same chartbook, one for each symbol (I reduced the list to 100 symbols). Now my problem is that, as I have now 100 different sheets inside my spreadsheet, I need a way to make a change in a formula (let’s say Buy Signal) at the same time in all the 100 sheets, because, correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no way to have a single sheet whose formulas are valid for the 100symbols at the same time. So… do you have any idea on how can I solve this situation? Thank you very much in advance. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-04-01 19:13:20

The above statement is not correct. There is a way to have a single "Formula" sheet that all the other sheets work from.
