Watchlists: Your Personal Radar for the Market
2026-07-22 · 2 min read
Most investors seriously track ten to thirty stocks — companies they own, almost bought, or are waiting to buy cheaper. A watchlist turns that mental list into a live dashboard.
Two ways to add a stock
- On any stock page, hit the ☆ Watch button next to "Add to Virtual Portfolio". One click, done.
- In My Desk → Watchlist, type the symbol and press + Add to Watchlist.
Your list shows each stock's live price, day change and current AlgoScore — so a glance tells you both *what moved* and *whether our analysis has changed its mind*.
What belongs on a good watchlist
- Stocks you own — obviously.
- "Great company, wrong price" candidates — quality names you'd buy 15–20% cheaper. When markets dip, your shopping list is ready while others panic.
- Signal follow-ups — stocks where a strategy pattern fired and you want to see whether the breakout holds.
- One or two sector barometers — a leading bank, a leading IT name — to feel the market's pulse without watching indices all day.
Watchlist ≠ portfolio
The watchlist answers "what is the market doing to stocks I care about?" The Virtual Portfolio answers "how would my decisions have performed?" Use both: watch first, virtually buy second, really buy only when both the analysis and your own reading agree.
A five-minute morning scan of a well-built watchlist replaces an hour of anxious tab-hopping. That's the entire point.
