I'm very new to coding but have worked in the capital markets my entire career, so I'm a half newbie to all of this.  I'd like to understand what's possible on the road to live trading, meaning I'm going to work my way up gradually.  For example, I'd like to have my algo scan the market real time and notify me of specific stocks that meet certain criteria (e.g., indicators, patterns, etc.) via charts of those stocks, and providing me with some functionality that I'm not able to get from my current chart provider. Is this possible? Is there any latency issues to doing such scans in real time?   Thanks in advance for feedback :)
