Why Have a Watchlist?
There are thousands of stocks out there. You can't check all of them every day. A watchlist is your short list — the stocks you care about most. TickerTrust keeps track of them for you and tells you when something changes.
Some people put stocks they already own on the watchlist. Others use it for stocks they want to buy later. Either way, it saves you time and makes sure you don't miss important moves.
How to Add Stocks
You can add a stock to your watchlist from any page where you see a stock symbol. Look for the "Add to Watchlist" button or the bookmark icon. You can also search for a stock by name or ticker directly from the dashboard.
Try to keep your watchlist between 10 and 30 stocks. Too many and it becomes hard to pay attention. Too few and you might miss good opportunities.
What Changes to Watch For
Your watchlist shows each stock's price, daily change, and TrustScore. When the TrustScore changes by a lot, the stock gets highlighted. A big drop could mean bad news. A big jump could mean something good happened.
These highlights save you from checking each stock by hand. Just look at what's highlighted and investigate those first.
Pair It with Price Alerts
For stocks where you have a specific price in mind ("I want to buy XYZ if it drops to $50"), set a price alert. The alert will tell you when the price hits your target so you don't have to keep checking.
Your watchlist catches big picture changes (TrustScore moves). Price alerts catch specific price levels. Together, they cover both angles.
