Scan Results Imported through API

[Tonkingrf1551]

Good morning,

I have a strategy that I run on 6000 Stocks or so. In order to filter down this large number to about ~50 stocks each day that apply to my strategy I rewrote some of my code in ThinkorSwim so that when I use there scanner it gives me ~50 stocks out of 6000 in a couple of seconds. I then have to copy and paste this into NT8 import window to an instrument list, then apply this list to a market analyzer, filter the final results, then add them to charts and the strategy can run.

I am wondering if there is a way to use an API connection to ThinkorSwim to auto import scan results and apply them to a market analyzer? And if so any resources or info to point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also is a Chart the only place to apply and execute a strategy or can you simply do that in a market analyzer.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello Tonkingrf1551,

It sounds like you are already using the fastest method to do that, there is no API for creating instrument lists besides the window that you already use.

Strategies can only be applied in the control center or on a chart. If you wanted to execute trades from the market analyzer that would require to not use a strategy and instead use an indicator with the addon framework.
