I'm not sure I'm following what you are asking. Are you looking to have signals generated at any of the periods change the symbol in one window to show the latest symbol with a signal?
So, as the scan is running across the different time periods, the systems enabled for each of those time periods triggers a signal, that signal and symbol update a common window. Is that what you are wondering if it is possible?
Or are you talking about Market Scans and as it is running and feeding symbols that match the scan criteria and feed it to the Focus list, which is analyzed by systems, and then any system firing a signal also displays the symbol and signal in a window, changing whatever was in the window?
Or maybe an Omniscan is updated, populating a list and any signals fired, automatically open a window with that symbol on a designated tab so you can see multiple signals?
Sorry, as you can see, I'm confused as to what you are asking. I think all of the possibilities are interesting -- show you what's generating the signal and in which timeframe.
i don't trade intraday, but I do watch multiple timeframes throughout the day for my options trading and to manage the way I hedge my portfolio. So signals aren't as important to me as the trends and indicators I watch.

Hello JPB, Thanks for your reply.
I use signal real time intraday data to generate signals on the 3,5 and 10 minute time frames. What I am looking for is to have one window showing me if any signals have occurred on a 3 min or 5 min or 10 min time frame and I could see which one with my strategy has just popped up and therefore I could take a look at it to see if it meets with my other indicators running in the background. So there would be 3 columns 3, 5 10 min. Hope this helps
