Re: Trade15, IntraDay scans...

I only have SC Extra, not real time, so I'm just guessing here as to how it would work. You might have to contact Support at StockCharts to verify it would do what you want.

However as far as any indicators or overlays that are based on price it should work fine.

But any volume type scans would be a problem as volume is cumulative thru the day, thus comparing todays volume at 10:00 AM to the total volume yesterday is not a far comparison. You would have to pro-rate todays volume based on how far we are into the day at the time you ran the scan. See my previous post which covers this issue.

Now for things like OBV it is not calculated until the close is fixed on the daily chart. Thus when comparing todays OBV intra day there is nothing to compare to yesterdays OBV until after the close.

hope this give you a little more background.
