I have watched your videos on getting a static scan onto a dynamic watch list no less than 20 times. I am missing something. I am guessing it is the proper way to set up the dynamic template or how to save it. I have established a watch list named template with a purple symbol on TOS. I think I have followed taking my static watch list and putting it onto the template watch list and have successfully saved it. However it saves without the purple symbol. It is not targeting the static scan as the source. I hope you can see what I am doing wrong.
Thanks for all the videos I have benefited from.

You did mention that you have watched my videos on this topic. But your comment was posted on a video related to something else. So I first want to make sure you have viewed the specific video which demonstrates how to save a custom scan, then open that saved custom scan as the source of a watchlist gadget. That video is located here: https://www.hahn-tech.com/thinkorswim-scans-to-watchlist/
The time stamp you want to start with is 3:19. That is where I demonstrate how to save a custom scan, then open that saved scan as the source of your watchlist. Which ends up being your “Dynamic Watchlist”.
Hello, dear Pete Hahn.
Please tell me,
how to correctly make dynamic filters from
your script from the tab
” Study | Custom… ” -> “thinkScript Editor” for 2 parameters
(integer numbers), instead of the first line of my code,
after the word ” Study | Custom… “?
Best wishes from Dmitry.
I don’t think I have enough information to answer your question. I am not sure what you are requesting, without seeing your code. And it would be much easier to address a question like this in our Q&A forum.
