Good Afternoon,

I'm having a problem that would seemingly have an easy solution, but I can't figure it out.  I'm in a Layout with a System Watchlist for and a streaming 1 minute chart with several indicators (Price Hisotry pane with moving averages, volume bars, Stochastics, etc.).  Say my initial System Watchlist is the All U.S. Stocks and I have applied one or more conditions to the watchlist which light up lights for the symbols satisfying those conditions.  I find that I am consistently looking at 100 - 150 of symbols that match these conditions - so I decide to create a "My Watchlist" - say it's called "Hotlist" and I want to begin only looking scanning those symbols.  Much faster.

The issue that I'm finding is that although I can do this, Blocks continues to scan the System Watchlist behind the scenes.  The only workaround I've found is to create a Telechart watchlist based on these "hot list"  symbols and then make my "System Watchlist" be "Telechart - Active List".  I'm betting there's an easier way without using Telechart.

Would you please advise?

Thanks - Dave
