Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a new watchlist every day to be scanned every second while the market is open? Is it possible to code the following strategy?
From a morning scan about 10 seconds after market open, I want the algorithm to create a watchlist of all of the stocks that have an opening price 5% or more above their previous day's close price. I want the debug/logs to show me all symbols added to the watchlist for each date.
After the watchlist is created, I want my algorithm to scan that watchlist every second until market close. I want the algorithm to buy any stock on my watchlist when that stock hits 30% above its open price. I want my algorithm to sell a position when it hits a 35% profit or a 35% loss. As soon as my algorithm sells a stock, I want that stock taken off the watchlist so that the algorithm does not trade that stock again during that day. If any positions are still open a few seconds before market close, I want them all closed. I want the watchlist cleared after market close.
For example, I want to make sure this algorithm would've bought SBET on 5/27 and that it would've bought KNW on 6/6. Thanks!

Here is a QuantConnect algorithm implementing the exact logic you described for Digitall:
Key features:
You can check the logs to verify specific dates for symbols like SBET (5/27) and KNW (6/6).
