Watch Lists

Watchlists make it easy to track the stocks you’re following without having to flip through charts every minute — you can see the performance of each component at a glance.   A 'watchlist' can be a list of names (like your custom list or SP500), the results of a scan, or even one of our automated smart lists.

TrendSpider takes watchlists a step further by giving you the ability to automatically fire off an SMS or email notification when an indicated pattern has been spotted anywhere on your watchlist. For example, you can configure an alert to fire off when a golden cross occurs. Select the 'watch' icon in the upper right-hand part of the screen to open your watchlist widget and either add it to a new column or an existing one.

You can edit the watchlist in a few steps:

1. Click on the three dots to the right of the watchlist area (#2).
2. Select Create New Watchlist.
3. Add a Name.
4. Add Symbols separated by commas (e.g. “MSFT,IBM,CSCO”).

Add or Change Columns in your watchlist:

1. Click on the three dots to the right of watchlist name
2. Under 'Manage Visible Columns' you will see a list of available columns.  For example, you can select 'week to date change%, year to date change%, or change% from 52 week high/low.
3. We recommend not adding more than 3 columns to your watchlist currently.  If you wish to see more columns, you can add another watchlist widget to your workspace and select different columns.
