Is it possible to have a scan the puts results on a watchlist but does not remove ticker when criteria from scan is not met? I have a scan that has stocks that move 3-5 days after they meet the criteria from this scan. I would then need to make a new scan to run against these tickers for the next three to five days. Basically I want the watchlist to add tickers but not remove. Thanks in advance. Intersect does not work because they usually fall off before the new criteria would be met.

First detail we need to cover is that watchlists and scans are two completely separate tools. The scan returns a list of stocks for which the filter criteria is true. A watchlist displays a list of stocks that you manually add to it. Alternatively, a watchlist can be set to display the output (result set) of a scan. Simply save the custom scan and then select that as the source of any watchlist gadget you have opened on the platform. We can call this a "Dynamic Watchlist". Now that I have explained this. There is no way to "force" a dynamic watchlist to retain a list of stocks which were output from the scan and retain those for future use. You would need to copy the ticker symbols from that scan and save them as a personal watchlist. This actually takes just a few clicks of the mouse.
There is a way to accomplish this through a modification to your code. However you did not include any code in your question, so we can not provide any solution along those lines. Marked as spam
