I would like to get live intraday data for a bucket list of stock in WLPro ? Can anyone please provide pointers ? I'd like to do something like
CreateStocksListToday();
for all_stocks_in_stock list
get_data("todays_start_time","now","1min");
sleep(for_some_time);
etc...

Many thanks!

CreateStocksListToday();
Auto-WatchList functions don't currently exist in V5, but you can create a Scan and paste the symbols for a new DataSet. WealthScript Programming Guide: Techniques > Creating a Screener

For the rest of the operation, use the Strategy Monitor. See User Guide.

If I underatand you correctly, there is no programmatic way to create the stocks list. Basically, the CreateStocksListToday() will be populated by me and it could change intraday. But it doesn't look like there is an automatic way to tell fidelity to get the intraday data for those. Let me take a look at strategy monitor.

Thanks

There's always a way, but Wealth-Lab DataSets are "static lists". Since there isn't support for creating them on the fly, you can't make WL5 aware of them until you restart.

Same problem as just explained. Dynamic lists are a very popular request, and I hope the Fidelity customers keep calling their reps until they put it back in the app!

OK. Thanks for clarifying. I'll request it.
