Hi
1) why the field " description " ( name of the symbol ) its not added in the Scanner , it's an optional not useful.... ? I think in fact that in the Scanner where its logic that an user will add a lot of symbols , a " description " field will be very useful if not indispensable to recognize a symbol ; it's impossible that a person remember all the name of dozens of symbols .......!
2) I think also that it will be very useful to add the possibility of " load a previous or next symbol " from a symbol list or from a local data source in the pc of the user ; this is useful for a fast screening of a group of symbols .
Best regards
Massimo

Hi Massimo,
Thank you in advance for clarifications.
Geoff is right. Simply use the indicator he posted.Hi

What symbol list would you like to download the data from? What is the 'local data source in the pc of the user'?2) I think also that it will be very useful to add the possibility of " load a previous or next symbol " from a symbol list or from a local data source in the pc of the user ; this is useful for a fast screening of a group of symbols .

Thanks. That's a good tip.Just create an indicator called
Description
plot1(description, "description");
and add it to the scanner.
Hi
thank You for the reply !
I use TS2000 GlobalServer .xpo data and when I want to chart one of this data from GlobalServer in MC I must everytime select a " format symbol or insert symbol " in MC ; my data in GB are sorted for symbol or description so if I wish to load the previous or next symbol it will be useful and faster simply to add in MC the buttons as in TS2000 " load previous or next symbol " .
