Watchlist

The Watchlist is a live, streaming table of the symbols you follow. Each row updates tick-by-tick and can show anything from a simple last price to a full set of quote fields, an intraday sparkline, and a tick-by-tick trend tape.

The toolbar

Along the top of the panel:

Note

If the panel is too narrow to show the whole toolbar, ‹ › arrows appear at the edges to scroll it.

Adding and removing symbols

  • Add: click +, search (3+ characters), and select. You can pick several symbols and add them in one go. Duplicates are ignored.
  • Remove one: hover the row and click the trash button, or right-click the row ▸ Remove from Watchlist.
  • Remove all: the Clear all button in the toolbar.

Filtering

Once you have symbols, a Filter symbols… box appears under the toolbar. It narrows the visible rows by symbol or name as you type. Clear it with the on the right. Filtering only changes what's shown — it doesn't remove anything, and the count badge reflects the filtered total.

Choosing columns

Open the Columns menu (sliders icon) to toggle any of these on or off:

GroupColumns
IdentitySymbol, Exchange
VisualsSpark (intraday line), T&S Trend (tick tape)
PriceLTP, Change, Change %
QuoteBid, Ask, Spread, Bid Sz, Ask Sz, Last Size
SessionPrev Close, Open, High, Low, Volume, OI

By default only Symbol, LTP, Change and Change % are shown. Reset Default at the bottom of the menu returns to that set. Your column choices are saved with the workspace.

How the values are coloured

  • LTP is green when the last price is above the previous close, red when below.
  • Change and Change % are green when positive, red when negative.

The two visual columns

These are what make the Watchlist more than a number grid.

Spark — intraday sparkline

A miniature line of the symbol's price through the current session, with the live price appended at the right edge so it tracks in real time. The intraday history loads the first time a row scrolls into view (extended hours included, so evening MCX sessions like CRUDEOIL aren't cut off).

Hover or drag across it to scrub: a crosshair snaps to the nearest point and a tooltip shows the price and time at that point, the Day change (versus previous close) and Δ1 (the change from the immediately preceding point).

T&S Trend — tick tape

A compact tape of the last ~40 ticks, drawn as bars above and below a centre line: green for up-ticks, red for down-ticks, taller bars for bigger moves. A small ▲ / ▼ / • at the end shows the direction of the most recent tick. It's a quick read on whether buyers or sellers have control right now.

Live high / low highlight

When a symbol prints a new day high or day low, its row briefly tints green (high) or red (low) for about five seconds, so you notice the break even if you weren't watching that row.

Sorting

Click a column header to sort by it: first click ascending, second descending, third clears the sort. The active column shows a ↑ / ↓ arrow. Sortable columns include Symbol, Exchange, LTP, Last Size, Change %, Bid, Ask, Spread, Prev Close, Open, High, Low, Volume, OI, Bid Sz and Ask Sz.

Row actions

  • Click a row to select the symbol. If this Watchlist is linked to other panels, they follow the selection (e.g. a linked chart loads it).
  • Hover a row for quick-open buttons: Chart, Option Chain, Time & Sales, and Remove.
  • Right-click a row for the same open actions plus Remove from Watchlist.

Saving, exporting and importing

The Watchlist's symbols, visible columns and column widths are stored in your workspace, so the list is exactly as you left it next time. You can also export a watchlist to a .json file and import it back later (or into another workspace) — handy for sharing or backing up a curated list.

Performance notes

The Watchlist subscribes to all its symbols through a single shared connection and batches incoming ticks (a few times per second) so large lists stay smooth. The Spark and T&S Trend columns only fetch and draw for rows that are actually on screen.

Tip

Keep heavyweight columns (Spark, T&S Trend) on a short, focused watchlist and use a plain price-only list for a long universe you're just monitoring.
