Adding and Removing Instruments

  • Add: Use the search panel at the top. Search by symbol, name, or exchange. Click to add.
  • Remove: Click the delete icon next to any instrument.
  • Favorite: Click the star icon to mark as favorite. Toggle the favorites filter to show only starred instruments.

Tab Linking

Watchlists support color-coded tab linking:

  1. Click the color circle on the watchlist tab
  2. Select a color (or "no link")
  3. Charts with the same link color update when you click an instrument in the watchlist

This lets you click through a watchlist and have all linked charts switch instruments simultaneously.

View Modes

Toggle between:

  • Grid view -- Card-based display with logos and price data
  • Table view -- Compact row-based list

Real-Time Data

Watchlists subscribe to Level 1 tick data (bid, ask, last) for all visible instruments. Subscriptions are managed automatically -- instruments are subscribed when the watchlist opens and released when closed.
