I discovered that when running a weekly scan the alert prices will change mid-week as one, two, etc. days of prices for the current week become available. Is there some setting to disable this? I'm guessing not since how would WL know when all prices are available. Would there be a workaround of some sort by only triggering the alert on the Friday of the week?

Of course Weekly bars data based on Daily data are going to change as days are added to the current week. A Weekly scan is only valid if you run it after the close of the week!

You can test the DateTime properties of the current bar to condition Alerts, but I think it's easier just to wait until Friday to do the scans. The S. Monitor should schedule weekly scans at the end of the week - is it not doing that?

In my quest to save time I was running a mix of weekly and daily based on the symbol (the script is altering the timeframes). Like an idiot I wasn't paying close attention to this. Won't make that mistake again!
