Tips for Watchlist Management

Keep Watchlists Focused

Instead of one giant watchlist, create themed lists:
  • “Research Queue” — Stocks to investigate
  • “Ready to Buy” — Waiting for the right price
  • “Watching Earnings” — Companies reporting soon
  • “Sold, Still Tracking” — Former holdings you’re monitoring

Regular Cleanup

Periodically review and remove stocks you’re no longer interested in. A cleaner watchlist is more useful.

Use Meaningful Names

Name watchlists so you remember their purpose. “Watchlist 1” is less helpful than “Small Cap Value Ideas.”

Troubleshooting

”I can’t find the add button”

  • On web: Look for ”+” or ”+ Add Stock” at the top of the watchlist
  • On mobile: Look for a ”+” floating button or tap the header area

”Stock won’t add”

  • Make sure you selected a valid stock from the dropdown
  • Check your spelling if typing manually
  • Verify the stock exists (some very small or delisted stocks may not be available)

“I accidentally removed a stock”

Just add it back using any of the methods above. Your removal doesn’t delete any data about the stock—you can always re-add it.

”I hit my watchlist limit”

Free users are limited to 3 watchlists (but unlimited stocks per list). Upgrade to Pro for unlimited watchlists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit to how many stocks I can add to one watchlist?

No limit! Add as many stocks as you want to a single watchlist.

Can I add the same stock to multiple watchlists?

Yes. A stock can be in as many watchlists as you like.

Will removing a stock delete any data?

No. Removing from a watchlist just stops tracking it there. The stock’s data still exists, and any price alerts you set remain active.

Can I reorder stocks in my watchlist?

Yes, on web you can drag and drop. On mobile, look for sort options or an edit/reorder mode.

Do changes sync across devices?

Yes. Add a stock on web, and it appears on mobile instantly (and vice versa).
