The scanner board - every alert, its own row
The scanner is a history board. Every alert is its own row, with the newest on top, and rows stay where they are: nothing is overwritten. So you can see what fired, and when, through the whole session.

A history board
The scanner is a history board. Every alert is its own row, with the newest on top, and rows stay where they are: nothing is overwritten. So you can see what fired, and when, through the whole session.
What each column says
Time is when the alert fired, on your computer's clock. Then the symbol, and Loc: the locates you hold to short it today. High is the price when the alert fired, and Live is the price now, against it. Then volume for the day, and for your window, relative volume for the window, the day and the last five minutes, the float estimate, the gap, and which alert fired.
Click to arm
Click a row to arm that stock. The trading panel, the ladder and the chart all follow it. A double-click arms it too. It only sends an order if you have ticked Double-click sends orders.
Any ticker, by hand
Want a stock the filters did not surface? Type it in the box beside WATCH / TRADE, and press Enter. It joins the scanner feed, and is armed for the buttons, the ladder and the chart.
RESET and HIST
The scanner also opens in a window of its own, from the WINDOWS row. RESET clears the day's scanner state and rebuilds today, without touching your positions or your orders. HIST shows whether today's full price history is loaded, and a click reloads the day.
Reading the board fast
A quick way to read it: start at the top, the newest alert. Check the gap and the relative volume, then compare High with Live, to see whether it is still near the alert price, or has faded. One click, and the ladder and chart are already on it.
