Instructions

You can elect to view market scanners you created in TWS for Desktop and that you saved to the cloud. To do so, please take the steps outlined below.

  1. Tap the Watchlist tab at the bottom of your screen and then tap Watchlist Actions (3 dots on the top right) and select Manage Watchlists
  2. Under Open On This Device will populate your current available watchlists and market scanners on the mobile app. Under Available will populate watchlists and market scanners that you may import.
  3. Select the + icon to the left of the marker scanner you would like to import.

You cannot update cloud scanners; they were created in TWS for Desktop and are only available for viewing.
