Live Web Scanner FAQs
How fast does the Live Day Trading Scanner update?
Our Live Scanner refreshes every 200 milliseconds. That is literally faster than the blink of an eye. You are watching market momentum, volume spikes, live breaking news, and high-probability setups trigger in absolute real-time on all of our premium plans.
I am a complete beginner. Is this scanner too advanced for me?
Not at all. We designed the Day Trading Strategies scanner to be incredibly user-friendly. Instead of overwhelming you with complex data, it visually highlights the exact stocks with high momentum, volume, and live news catalysts.
Can I use the web scanner on my mobile phone?
Yes! Because our Live Scanner is 100% web-based, you can access it on any device, including your smartphone or tablet. It is fully optimized for mobile, meaning you can track momentum even away from your desk.
Is there a delay on the free version of the scanner?
The Top 20 Gainers list on our Free Scanner is 100% live and in real-time. Only the High of Day (HoD) tool on the free version operates on a 5-minute delay. If you upgrade to our Pro Monthly plan or Annual plan, every single tool operates with zero delay.
Do I need to download or install the scanner to my computer?
Not at all! The Live Scanner is 100% web-based. There is nothing to download and no heavy programs to run. Anyone with an internet connection can log in and use the scanner instantly from any browser.
Does the scanner work for options trading, or just stocks?
The scanner identifies the underlying stock’s momentum, volume, and live news catalysts across the market. A massive portion of our members use these exact setups to trade the corresponding options contracts for higher leverage.
Can I trade directly from the scanner?
The scanner is a discovery tool designed to give you a statistical edge. You can use this scanner alongside any brokerage account (ThinkorSwim, Webull, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, etc.) to place your actual buy and sell orders.
Custom Codes & Setup
How do I install the custom ThinkorSwim scripts?
Installation takes less than 60 seconds. Once you subscribe, you will get an exclusive shareable ThinkorSwim link. You simply copy the link, paste it into the “Open Shared Item” box in ToS, and the custom code is instantly imported.
Will the strategy codes automatically trade for me?
No, strategy codes in ThinkorSwim are not capable of placing real money trades. You don’t need to worry about them messing with your portfolio. Strategy codes exist to visualize the entrance and exit conditions in real-time as well as to automate the data gathering process of backtesting.
Do I get access to all 150+ custom ToS codes?
Yes! Any paid subscription unlocks our entire vault of over 150 statistically proven ThinkorSwim custom scripts, indicators, and chart setups, alongside the web-based scanner.
Are these indicators compatible with both Mac and PC?
Yes. Because our codes are built natively for the ThinkorSwim desktop platform, they work flawlessly on both Mac and Windows operating systems.
What if I need help setting up my ThinkorSwim charts?
We have a comprehensive library of step-by-step video tutorials. If you ever get stuck, our support team is ready to help you get your ToS charts looking perfect.
Subscriptions & Billing
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Absolutely. There are no contracts. You can easily manage or cancel your subscription at any time directly from your My Account page (just click the little guy icon in the top right corner of the website). You will retain full access until the end of your current billing cycle.
Do you offer a discount for long-term members?
Yes! If you upgrade to our Annual Plan, you get a massive discount compared to paying month-to-month, effectively giving you months of free access to the scanner and scripts.
