Watchlist User Guide

You can view our in-house shared watchlists, create your own set of stocks to watch or launch a stock’s OVI chart using our Watchlist app.




How to Use the Watchlist

A) Watchlist Folder

  • The Platform launches the Starter Folder by default when launched from the Menu Bar.

  • The watchlist folder name is indicated in the blue rectangular box at the upper left corner of the app. 

  • Just below the blue box will be the list of stocks you’ve added into your "Starter Folder". This will be blank if you have not added any stocks

  • The stocks are sorted according to their ticker symbol by default

B) Search and View a Stock’s OVI Chart

  • To search for a stock, enter the stock name or ticker into the search box at the top of the Watchlist app. This will automatically bring up the stock’s OVI chart.

  • Note that searching for a stock will automatically save it into your watchlist (look at the watchlist name in the blue rectangular box at the upper left corner) 

  • If you have a list of stocks within your watchlist, you can easily scroll down the list using the up and down arrow keys of your keyboard

  • Top/down navigation using the arrow keys will be disabled when you add/move/remove a stock from a watchlist or when you click on a chart function (e.g., toggling the 20-DMA, toggling the crosshair etc). Simply click on a stock ticker again to enable top/down navigation using the arrow keys
