Pete: Can you please help me create a Not-in-Query to find stocks that meet my scan conditions but are not in my custom watch list? I am new to Thnkscript so do not know the commands that can find (or indicate can’t find) symbols in a watchlist.

If I understand your question correctly, there is no way to do this in Thinkorswim. The watchlist you select to run the scan against is the entire universe of stocks the scan can see. There is now way to tell the scan, “search every ticker symbol that is not in this list”. Marked as spam

I appreciate you taking the time to state this in more detail. Because you never know, sometimes there is a way. In your specific case, there is not. The code in Thinkscript is completely blind to any and all watchlists. So you will need to find another way to achieve the same goal. Whatever code used to identify the stocks in the “UpYesterday” watchlist. Let’s say that code is exactly the same as condition 1. Which is Marked as spam

May be this is the answer but just in case I did not state my question clearly, lets say My scan is looking at all optionable stocks – not just those in the watch list. The custom query is : all stocks meeting two conditions, say (1) close > open. And (2) not found in cusom list “UpYesterday”. Wondering if there is a command that references this watch list to see if it were already in this list. If not, the new stocks with close>open are to be displayed in the answer.
