Watchlist

The application uses 'watchlists' to display the symbols in a particular exchange or a user-created list of symbols. These lists can be used to buy/sell stocks via the app or to monitor/keep track of their performance attributes. This section will provide a walkthrough of core watchlist functionalities; i.e. on how to create and monitor watchlists containing stock symbols.

To Access a Watchlist

Click on the Markets tab from the side menu panel, then select Watchlist.

Click on the dropdown located at the top right-hand corner of the widget and select a watchlist.

This can be an entire exchange (i.e. NSDQ, DFM, etc.) or a user-created 'Custom Watchlist'.

Clicking on a symbol within any of the above watchlist types will open up the Instrument profile window, allowing you to analyze a variety of performance aspects and to buy/sell stocks of the symbol.

Right-clicking on a symbol within any watch list opens a context menu containing options to buy/sell, view the Instrument profile, open an option chain, get a detailed quote or, view its chart details.

Note: Depend on the level of feed, regional and international symbols, right click options can be varied.
