An Auto Run is a market scan that is run automatically by the system. You set the parameters, and the system runs the market scan according to those parameters. You can create Auto Runs that are generated every minute, every hour, or every day. You can select specific days of the week and specific times. You can specify begin and end dates as well as start and end times.
If a scan run times exceeds twenty minutes, the scan is stopped and you receive a warning message.
Only one scan can be run at the same time. If one scan is started while another is active, then it is postponed until the first scan is complete.
Run time is US Central Time.
