How to Build Your Watchlist

Your Watchlist is the fastest way to keep track of the stocks, crypto, or ETFs you care about. It powers your personalized feeds, alerts, and sentiment signals—so you never miss a move in the names you follow.

Whether you’re a long-term investor or an active trader, building your Watchlist is the first step to making Stocktwits work for you.

 


How to Add Symbols to Your Watchlist

You can add tickers in multiple ways:

1. From any symbol page

Search for a stock, crypto, or ETF (e.g., $TSLA, $ETH, $QQQ)

Click “+ Watch” on desktop or tap the “+” icon on mobile

The ticker will now appear in your Watchlist

 

2. From the Watchlist editor

Navigate to your Watchlist

Tap Edit Watchlist

Use the search bar to find and add symbols directly

 

3. From other parts of the platform

Trending Bar: Tap a ticker to open its page, then add it

Market Lists Page: Add from curated lists like “Most Active”, “Top Bullish”, or “New Watchers”

 

Why Your Watchlist Matters

  • Filters your Home Feed to show only relevant conversations
  • Enables real-time price and sentiment alerts
  • Surfaces key news, earnings, and technical activity
  • Helps you track what the crowd is saying—before and after big moves

 

Tip: You can access your Watchlist across both Stocktwits and Cryptotwits modes. It’s synced across web and mobile.
