I'd like an answer to this as well:

Regarding backscan entry signals:

On the day of the entry signal, what is the soonest I can get delivery of those entry signals? Is it at 10am, once day-of delayed data becomes available? Or can I see these entries the night before? Or even at, say, 6am the day of?

Scan Only is designed to just find when a set of conditions is True or False. The arrows appear on the day the conditions become True or become False. This should allow you to test for entry conditions in time for the open.

When Scan Only is not checked, the arrows don't appear until the day after the conditions are met. The arrows appear on the bar where the trade would actually happen. Since the trade happens on the open of the bar after the conditions are met, the arrows appear on the bar after the conditions are met (not in time to actually trade at the open).

The Scan Only checkbox is located under BackScan | Conditions.
