Hi I'm trying to have the backscanner signals (plots) for buys and sells appear in the watchlist as  column with the stock symbol. As yet I'm not exactly sure where to find it, I did manage to get an error message "not implemented yet" by trying to create a rule with the signals so I could filter for them.

Am I trying to do something not possible yet?

Photobug,

Are you ultimately trying to find stocks that are right now in open trades using the rules for your scan?

If so, you have two options.  Within the BackScanner itself, you can select the Open Trades option.  this displays a list of all the stocks who are in open trades as of now using the buy(or sell short) rules you've used.

The easiest way to use the WatchList to manage these entries and exits is to simply use the buy rule and sell rule to scan the WatchList.  This way, any time something passes one of the rules, it's highlighted for you in the list.  

Hope that helps-
Julia
