Today is 7/29 and the data downloader shows several updates today, but only prices thru yesterday 7/28 are shown.  How can I get SF to show today's prices and trades?

There shouldn't be anything you need to do. If you have StockFinder Gold, you do not have access to intraday data. The StockFinder Gold feed is a Daily feed that only updates once a day after the market is closed. It does not provided twenty-minute delayed data throughout the day.

If you have StockFinder Platinum, it should automatically update you to the current time. If this is the case and your data is not current, you should probably contact technical support.

All e-mail communication sent to support@worden.com during business hours (Monday through Friday 9AM-9PM and Saturday 9AM-3PM ET except holidays) should be answered within 20 minutes of arrival.

For an even quicker response to tech support questions, we recommend calling our voice line at (919) 408-0542 during business hours.

You can also contact us using Live Chat Support during business hours.

I would suspect Dragging and Dropping your Rules to the Watchlist and selecting Scan would do what you want, but I may be misunderstanding the question.

I have some systems that are based on maybe 5 rules and a dedicated backscanner page, with rules, indicators, and trades all set up on the chart and optimized for a single equity.  It doesn't seem reasonable to have to drag all of the rules to a watchlist to see if one stock meets each of them, every evening.  I was hoping that there would be some kind of signal or message on the chart or in backscanner telling me that a transaction is required at next open.

Just drag and drop each of the five and then write a single rule

'# Cond1 = condition.whatever
'# Cond2 = condition.whatever
'# Cond3 = condition.whatever
'# Cond4 = condition.whatever
'# Cond5 = condition.whatever


If Cond1.value = True and _
    Cond2.value = True and _
    Cond3.value = True and _
    Cond4.value = True and _
    Cond5.value = True then
    pass
else
    fail
endif

tx, I will give it a try.  Eventually maybe Worden will have SF charts or backscanner looking ahead 1 day and showing impending trades for next open.
