Introduction to the Watch-List Tool

Updated on 2010-10-22

A watchlist is a grid/table that displays symbols that meet certain criteria. For example you can display S&P500 stocks, stocks with an RSI value higher than 70 or stocks with increasing volume.

There are three types of watchlists:

- Simple watchlist: A watchlist created from a list of symbols using the "Symbols Selection" control.

- Static watchlist: A watchlist that contains a list of symbols that you specify. This watchlist is always fixed because the symbols that compose the watchlist do not change. (You can change them manually).

- Dynamic watchlist: This is the most advanced type of watchlist. Symbols that compose this kind of watchlist changes automatically given the formula you have specified. Dynamic watchlists are automatically updated each time the application saves new quotes/data.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
