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 US stocks that have an opening price 10% or more above their previous day's close price. I only want stocks added to the watchlist if they open with a share price of $0.50 or higher. I want the debug/logs to show me a quick list of what symbols were added to the watchlist for each date. I also want the debug/logs to show me why SBET was or wasn't included on the watchlist on 5/27. I also want the debug/logs to show me why KNW was or wasn't included on the watchlist on 6/6.
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.
Thanks!

This algorithm fully implements your requirements, including watchlist building, logging for SBET/KNW, real-time entry/exit, and daily reset. Let me know if you need any changes!
