Watchlist

A watchlist is your personal stock tracking tool. Create multiple watchlists organized by strategy, sector, or investment theme to monitor stocks you're interested in without owning them yet.

What is a Watchlist

A watchlist is a personal collection of stocks you want to track. You don't own them yet—it's just a monitoring tool for research and organizing your investment ideas.

Why Use Watchlists

Research & Planning: Track stocks you're researching, monitor them before buying, build investment ideas, and plan future trades.

Organization: Group stocks by strategy, sector, or theme to keep your ideas organized.

Monitoring: Get real-time price updates, see daily changes, monitor trends, and watch for opportunities.

Decision Making: Compare similar stocks, evaluate alternatives, track competitors, and make informed choices.

Watchlist Limits

You can create up to 5 watchlists with up to 50 stocks per watchlist. This gives you plenty of room to organize as needed.

Use watchlists to organize your research process: Stocks to Research, Potential Buys, Monitoring, and Sell Candidates. This creates a systematic approach to evaluating stocks.

Trading Watchlists

Organize by timeframe: Day Trading Candidates, Swing Trading Ideas, Short-term Trades, and Long-term Holds. This keeps different strategies separate.
