I put columns on a watchllist with a condition I wrote as PCF.  Update says manual. 

Those columns that have conditions made from the chart have update that says Real Time.

In a watch list that is not scanning do I have to refresh the those custom PCF condition colunns?

If the PCF condition is used in an Easy Scan, that is scanned to a window and streaming selected, is it being updated in real time?

If the Refresh Rate of a WatchList Column says Manual, then it will not update unless you Refresh Column.

You can usually change the Refresh Rate of a WatchList Column by right-clicking on the WatchList Column Header for that WatchList Column, selecting Edit Columns and choosing something besides Manual from the Refresh Rate drop-down menu. The minimum Refresh Rate available will depend on how intensive the calculations are for that WatchList Column.

If Streaming is selected for an EasyScan, all of the Conditions used in determining what symbols are in the EasyScan will be updated in realtime (or as close to realtime as is possible since it does take time to calculate the Conditions). The Refresh Rate of the WatchList Columns will still depend on the Refresh Rate for that particular WatchList Column however.

Slightly different subject.  I have created a confition VWAP UP +02% in 2 min.  When I apply that to a scan it gets changed to VWAP Price History moving up - 2 minute.  The edit is that for the pre-built Price Surge, with the TimeFrame 2 Minutes and that slider which goes from Slowly on the left ot Very Fast on the right.  It is set a Slowly (which I have figured out is actually fast moving price value).

I don't understand why it changed the definition of the condition I wanted to use.  I don't know if these are equivalent or not.

It looks like I can put the condition in the scan as a column with check marks etc.
