How do I add a stock to my watchlist?

There are a number of ways to add a stock to your watchlist.


Firstly, you can add a stock to your watch list by searching for the stock you wish to view and then clicking on the 3 dots next to the stock code in the search bar.




From here you can select 'Watchlist" from the drop down menu and then select the watchlist you wish to add the stock to.



You can also access the same drop down menu on the chart next to the company name,





And finally in the market movers tab




And here we can see all of those locations on your platform




You can also search for watchlists in the 'Watchlist Management' window located here




From this window you can search for companies to add to your watchlist.

As shown below, type into the search box a list of stock codes/descriptions to search for, separated by either spaces, commas, or semicolons; and search results will appear.



You can then use the checkboxes on the right to select which results to import:
• Items that are already in the watchlist will be greyed out, and display the message Already in Watchlist
• Items that are an exact match by code will be auto-selected, but can be deselected using the checkbox on the right.
• All other results will be organised by search term

The Import button will allow you to select a csv file to import a list of stock codes.



The contents of the file will appear inside the search box

Finally, click the large orange button at the bottom to import the selected items into the current watchlist You can then click the Search  icon again to exit search mode.




In your watchlist tab on the main window of the platform you can also delete stocks from your watchlist or add them to a different watchlist via the 3 dots next to each stock.
