- | 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.

- | StockCharts Extra and Pro members can create and run their own custom technical scans with whatever technical criteria they want. We provide two different workbenches for creating custom technical scans - our Standard Scan Workbench and our Advanced Scan Workbench. Both workbenches are designed to help you quickly and easily construct custom scans by selecting pre-created scan clauses and adding them to your scan. | + | StockCharts members can create and run their own custom technical scans with whatever technical criteria they want.

With the Advanced Scan Workbench, you can insert pre-created scan criteria into your scan from dropdown menus, then customize the criteria to suit your specific requirements. This provides a great deal of power and flexibility to create scans that are specially tailored for you, but does require a little bit of time and effort to master. For more information on using the Advanced Scan Workbench to create custom scans, please see our [[:scans:advanced_scan_workbench|Advanced Scan Workbench]] article in the Support Center. | With the Advanced Scan Workbench, you can insert pre-created scan criteria into your scan from dropdown menus, then customize the criteria to suit your specific requirements.
