The Scanner is a data grid that can display quotes, market data, and indicator data in spreadsheet format. Each row always includes the following columns:
Symbol (first column)
Resolution (second column)
Trend (third column)
The positions of the columns above are fixed and cannot be moved.
Ten additional data columns can be added. Each data column can have ten sub-columns.
For example, the Data column counts as one data column with seven sub-columns.
