-The first update for the Scan Engine usually begins at 9:31 AM Eastern Time. Because of the vast amounts of data involved, all scanning systems work with datasets that are slightly older than “real-time.” When the market is open, our Scan Engine is continually updating the final data point for all of the stocks and indexes that it tracks on a rotating basis. When an Extra or Pro member runs a scan based on the “Last Intraday Update,"​ the Scan Engine will use a final daily data point that may be up to three minutes old, depending on when the scan is run.+The first update for the Scan Engine usually begins at 9:31 AM Eastern Time.
