    Hi, since the new stable version, which was released yesterday, every second/third time I start TWS, my mosaic scanner configuration is reset. I have to reload my backup TWS file and afterwards the scanner works as previously configured. But then also sometimes one of my watchlists will be deleted.

    Anybody with the same issues?

    THX in advance.

    I was using the stable version until yesterday when they have updated it, I never logged into the stable version after yesterday's update. I use the latest version now and honestly it seems better than before.

    Maybe try it

    No, unfortunately same problem with "latest version". Have to load my backup file. When I start TWS my scanner is reset. When I load the backup file, scanner works as configured with all my columns and Scan-parameters. BTW: the old stable version was much faster and had no performance lags when a stock has large volume and the orderbook is moving fast.

    Why was the "stable version" changed to nearly the same version as the "latest version"?

    Aren't your scanners setup saved? For me I have them saved and so I just open the saved file and it works no problem.
    Even if I don't open the saved file, it just loads the scanner of the last time I closed TWS

    1. You can“t save your scanner setting separately with Mosaic Scanner in TWS. Your configured scanner will be saved with the TWS setting, so thats my problem as described above, when I start my TWS now with the new stable version, MY configured scanner settings are reset. I have to reload a backup TWS settings file and then they are back up. This should also answer your second question.

    I have the scaner settings saved, each scanner is saved separately and if I want to load it I just open the saved file.

    There is a "floppy disk" icon on the top right of the scanner, if you click it you have two options:
    1-save template
    2-load template

    oh I am sorry you are using Mosaic Scanner, I am using advanced scanner.

    Why are you using mosaic compared to advanced?

    It fits better into the TWS Desktop. Mosaic Scanner has the same window engine and visuals as the watchlist window. You can easyly switch between watchlist and scanner with one click on the Monitor-tabs. Also, most important for me, the 3D-span column function works with Mosaic Scanner and with advanced scanner it seems to be disabled.
