Save a useful scan

  1. Choose your market, timeframe, and filters.
  2. Review the active filter summary.
  3. Select Save setup, enter a recognizable name, and save.
  4. Open the saved setup when you want to run those conditions again.

The setup belongs to your account. The working filter selection is also remembered in this browser; that is different from explicitly saving a named setup.

Save setup menu with a descriptive Daily uptrends name

Select Save setup at the top right, enter a name, then select Save. The selected Green Bars condition is visible in the filter summary.

Understand what is saved

A setup saves the query, not the result rows. Tomorrow's results can differ as conditions change or data arrives. Save a ticker to your watchlist if you want to keep following that name regardless of whether it still matches.

New results

Where the saved setup offers a new-results view, use it to see matches since your previous review. The indicator tells you about matches for that saved setup, market, and timeframe. It is not an exchange-wide “new signal” count.

Use the review controls to acknowledge results you have seen. Switching between all results and new results should not require deleting and recreating the setup.

Recover a confusing scan

Reload the named setup and review its filter chips. Remove unintended filters before saving a revised version. Use a new name when you want to keep the original comparison. If your browser no longer remembers unsaved selections, reopen a saved setup.
