Intraday Trade Finder Scan Updates (Premium Desktop Feature)
Trade Finder Scans are updated every 30 minutes during Market Hours on the Premium Platform. That’s 12 more times than the Standard Platform version, which updates once after the Market opens.
Trade Finder Scans are easily identified with a Rocket Icon in the upper left corner of the Scan box.
Scans - Find Opportunities - Overview
Stagnant? Uncertain? Bearish or Bullish? Short or long term? No problem!
This “Find” category is where to find opportunities based on current Market activity and outlook, or select opportunities based on events, such as Earnings or Dividend announcements.
Whether looking for opportunities based on The Score, Events, Chart Patterns, Bullish, Bearish, Stagnant or Unknown outlook, a scan will help you find potential trade opportunities. 
You can drill-down for scans by Category, Sub-Categories, then Group.
Example: Strategy>Time Spreads>Call Calendar Spreads. You can use the drop-down box, above the Category boxes to search for the scan you want or type in the box a generality about the scan. Examples: “Earning”, “Bull”, “Bearish”. “Score”, “Red”, “Green” will yield scans with that particular name in the scan
The Dashboard Scan Tab
Get the current ‘story’ on a stock.
The Scan Tab is particularly interesting. In addition to providing a list of scans the stock is currently included in, it can give you a “story” about the stock. Based on the scans that the stock is showing up in, you can get an overview of outlook on the stock.
For example: JNJ shows solid longer term positive outlook.
XOM Shows stagnant with improving longer term outlook
