__TOC__
The Real-Time Market Scanner (also known as "Screener" or "Quote Window") is a data grid (quote sheet) which can display quotes, market data, and indicator data in spreadsheet format.
The Scanner is indispensable for monitoring, screening, searching, and organizing many symbols according to user defined criteria. The Scanner can accept symbols from different data feeds. The Scanner can also plot charts automatically without having to manually add the chart via a new chart window. Symbols can also be sorted by user-defined criteria.
The Scanner is used to:
* Plot studies that are either newly built or imported from other sources
Scanner features: * 5,000 symbols per Scanner window(In MultiCharts 32 bit) / No limitation for the amount of symbols per Scanner window (In MultiCharts 64 bit)
* 200+ built-in studies
* Multiple-core and multiple CPU support
