Building your first watchlist

A watchlist is a curated list of symbols you're monitoring. Start with 10–20 names across a few sectors so you develop familiarity with how each moves.

Group by theme: track a set of mega-cap tech names separately from smaller speculative names. This separation helps you quickly gauge sector sentiment each morning.

Set price alerts on key levels so you're notified when a symbol approaches a level you care about — without having to stare at the screen all day.
