I have created a custom study from a scan setting which works fine.  I’d like to be able to use it as alive scan within a watchlist.   Unfortunately when I search for available studies under the gear icon/symbol within a watchlist my custom studies do not appear.  Is there a way to be able to use my study/scan on a live condition rather then running the scan, saving it to file repeatedly during the trading day? thx for your guidance in advance.

I've located the custom studies name within the the system available studies which I can edit/modify. Unfortunately my study will not run, system indicates to complex for real time. Any suggestions how to make this work without modifying to essence of the study.

When that specific error message appears I generally find there is no solution to get it working. But it is possible the code contains some elements which are not required to display whatever it is you want to show in the custom column. And if you remove those elements you just might be able to get it to work. But there is no way to tell without examining your code and there would be a fee involved to do that because it is beyond the scope of solutions I provide free of charge in the Q&A Forum.

You are correct. Custom studies do not appear in the list of available quotes (columns) you can add to a watchlist gadget. The watchlist gadget contains it's own set of "custom quotes" which you can fill with your own custom scripts. We can get you fully up to speed on how to work in this environment after viewing just a few videos from the Watchlists category of our website.

Here is a link to the entire category of watchlist videos:
