As I can see it is possible to start a scan through an associated watchlist. The problem is, if I want to slow don the scan so that it stops for e.g. 2 sekonds/chart I have to slow down the chart update interval to 2000 msec under general settings, so that my other reatimecharts are updated regarding price only every 2 seconds.

Is there a way to:
1. set the scan frequency independent from the rt price update in the charts used for trading (this would be useful).
2. Is it possible to have an endless scan running, so that I do not have to start it mannually.
3. Is it possible to program an algorihm so that the sacnner only shows charts that match that algorithm ?

1. Yes use this setting:

Re. 3:

I mean, if I want to find charts via the scanner that only match my requirements (that I have coded into the algorithm)
is it possible to use the scanner (or any other feature) to extract those charts from a universe of stocks.

This can be done by setting up an Alert Condition Formula on the chart or a study and using scanning:

There is another solution to your problem.

-Load all charts into a chart book( universe)
-Load a spreadsheet study to each chart
-Create simple alerts conditions for each chart, or create more advanced alerts using formulas in columns of each charts spreadsheet
-Setup a Master sheet that makes reference to alert columns from each individual charts spreadsheet
-Each row/ column in the master sheet would make reference to each individual charts spreadsheet, and formulas would be used in each respective column so that alerts are displayed as = TRUE/FALSE values

So you are basically creating a real-time tabulated watchlist and each row would reference each symbol in your chartbook( universe) and each column would reference the alerts you have setup for each chart, and would = TRUE if each condition was met.

Would it be possible to add a feature that makes it possible to auto repeat the chart scan, so that the user can define when the scan restarts automatically, e.g. every 5 minutes
etc. ?

Regarding the chart drawings:
Is it possible to "link" the drawings to a specific symbol.

Example:
I habe a fisrt chart with drawings in aapl open and a second chart with same symbol.
In this case the drawings I drew in the other chart do not appear in the second chart.
But it is important that the drawings would be linked to the symbol not to a window,
otherwise the drwaings for different symbols will appar in the same window which will
very confusing.

You need to uncheck this option:
Chart Settings: Show Chart Drawings For Different Symbols (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu)
