Keeping several themed watchlists makes it easier to follow different ideas without one long, noisy list. A ticker can sit on more than one list at once: adding NVDA to “AI Leaders” does not remove it from “Congressional Picks.”
Step-by-step
- Open Watchlist from the top nav.
- Use the list selector under My Watchlist to switch lists. Each entry shows its name and how many stocks it holds.
- To add a ticker to a specific list, search it in the “Search ticker or company” box, click the plus, and pick the list.
- Use the asset class menu and the side tabs to narrow what you are looking at, for example to show only stocks.
- Select a row to see its chart, price change over the selected time range, and details.
How it works
- Lists are saved to your account, in the order you created them. The first list opens by default.
- Your Home dashboard Watchlist card also lets you switch between lists.
- For some stocks, the Watchlist page shows notable investors holding the name, based on disclosed positions.
Things to know
- Reordering lists is not currently available.
- Deleting or renaming a list, and removing a ticker, are not currently available from the Watchlist page.
- Per-list performance dashboards are not currently available. Use Company Research for a deeper look at a single ticker.
- Team accounts: if you belong to an organization, the page shows your team’s shared watchlist instead of the New List button.
A practical approach: keep one broad list for everything you follow, and create a new, narrowly named list whenever you start researching a theme.
