Hi,

I potentially want to use WL as an intraday scanner based on various criteria I build using building blocks, which extension should I have?

Data extensions
IQFeed
Interactive Brokers (I do have an account with them)

Thanks

Hi,

You should have an extension for the intraday data feed you're subscribed to. Then, if you're looking to generate signals and not backtest results, here's the next step:

How to turn a strategy into a screener?

Of course this assumes converting the strategy to C# code ("Open in new C# code strategy window") and editing it.

Method 2: Automatically Screen for each interval
1. Create your strategy - (Building Blocks works here without modification)
2. In Preferences > Trading, check "Use Live Positions".
3. Add / Set up the strategy in the Strategy Monitor with the DataSet, sizing, intraday interval, etc. Use Streaming Bars.

Notes:
1. This assumes the selected account does not have a position in any of the DataSet symbols.
2. The basic IB Streaming Bundle will only work with a DataSet with 100 symbols - and less if you're using IB TWS to monitor quotes too.

Optional:
Enable Stage if you want to "save" the results of the screen for each interval in the Order Manager .
