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.
/help-assets/watchlist/overview.pngThe toolbar
Along the top of the panel:
| Control | Location | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| WL title + status dot | Far left | The dot is green when at least one symbol is receiving live data, grey when disconnected. |
Add (+) | Right group | Opens the symbol search dialog to add one or many symbols. |
| Count badge | Right group | Number of symbols currently shown (after any filter). |
| Clear all (trash) | Right group | Removes every symbol. Disabled when the list is empty. |
| Columns (sliders) | Right group | Opens the column-visibility menu (below). |
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:
| Group | Columns |
|---|---|
| Identity | Symbol, Exchange |
| Visuals | Spark (intraday line), T&S Trend (tick tape) |
| Price | LTP, Change, Change % |
| Quote | Bid, Ask, Spread, Bid Sz, Ask Sz, Last Size |
| Session | Prev 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.
/help-assets/watchlist/columns-menu.pngHow 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).
/help-assets/watchlist/spark-scrub.mp4T&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.
/help-assets/watchlist/row-actions.mp4Saving, 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.
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.
