Watchlist
Track your favorite stocks in one place
The Watchlist is your short list inside Optionomics: the symbols you care about most, surfaced where the app can use them—navigation, context switches in the Terminal, and quick jumps into flow and analytics. It does not replace a broker portfolio; it orients the product around your names instead of the entire market.
Availability: All paid plans. Some places where you add or remove symbols, such as the Stock Analysis page header, appear only when that page is available on your plan.
What is the Watchlist?
Your watchlist is a personalized set of tickers you want close at hand. For each symbol you typically get:
- At-a-glance price context in the chrome of the app
- One-click navigation into that stock’s full analysis (chains, flow when subscribed, daily charts, etc.)
- A consistent anchor when you are comparing multiple names during the session
The exact placement of watchlist controls can vary by page (for example a compact strip versus a dropdown when you track many tickers), but the idea is the same: less typing, fewer mis-clicks, more time reading the tape.
Default Watchlist
New accounts start with a default watchlist of 10 popular stocks:
- SPY - S&P 500 ETF

- AAPL - Apple Inc.

You can customize this list immediately.
Adding Stocks to Watchlist
- Navigate to any stock page
- Click the star icon (☆) in the header
- Star turns solid (★) - stock is now in watchlist
If the stock page is not available on your plan, use the watchlist you configured during onboarding or upgrade to a plan that includes the Stock Analysis workspace.
Viewing Your Watchlist
Top Navigation Bar
Your watchlist appears in the top navigation:
- Always visible for quick access
- Shows up to 10 symbols
- Click any symbol for instant navigation
- Create new dropdown menu if more than 10
Watchlist Display
Each watchlist item shows:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Symbol | Stock ticker |
| Price | Current price (live updates while you’re on the site) |
| Change | $ and % change for the day |
| Color | Green (up) / Red (down) |
Price and percent-change badges update in the background while you stay on the page—no refresh needed. The same live updates power the percent-change badges in the Terminal AI panels and right-pane lists.
