The majority of data providers have a limitation on the number of simultaneous real-time data subscriptions. This made scanning numerous markets almost impossible.The new version of our Scanner has two components: Pre-Scanning and Watchlist windows. You can scan more than 5000 symbols one by one with a specified frequency (every minute, 5 minutes, hour….) or just hit Rescan Now. According to your filters in Pre-Scanning instruments that satisfy the conditions will be shown in Watchlist window for updating in real-time.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': By default Autotrading is not supported in the Scanner window. Only indicators can be used. In It is, however, possible to use the Scanner for trading in MultiCharts .NET MA Crossover Signal indicator that implements the TradeManager functionality can be used for trading.

===Working with Scanner in offline modeOffline Mode===
In order to speed up the process of historical scanner backfill in offline mode the instrument will be unsubscribed after either complete historical data backfill or after a certain timeout thus letting the other instruments be backfilled sooner.
 
==Scanner service window==
 
Scanner can be opened as a service window that can be attached to any side of the main MultiCharts window. It has exactly the same functionality as the regular Scanner window and is visible on all workspaces when open.
 
To open Scanner as a service window go to View -> '''Show Scanner Window'''.
