The Scanner is a data grid that can display quotes, market data, and indicator data in spreadsheet format. Each row always includes the following columns:
'''Symbol''' (first column)
<br>'''Resolution''' (second column)
<br>'''Trend''' (third column)
The positions of the columns above are fixed and cannot be moved.
Ten additional data columns can be added. Each data column can have ten sub-columns.
For example, the '''Data''' column counts as one data column with seven sub-columns.
