WLWatchlist

WL Your watchlists as a compact live table — the symbols you actually track, ticking, in the corner of the desk — plus a quick list that lives on the window itself.

what's inside

What the window holds

  • Multiple named watchlists, switchable in one window
  • A quick list kept on the window rather than your account — a scratch board of tickers that comes and goes with the desk
  • Live prices, day change, volume and market cap per row, with more columns one checkbox away
  • Click a row to drive your linked windows to that symbol

where the data comes from

Provenance

Real-time via exchange feed; ~10s REST polling fallback. About our data sources →

good to know

Worth knowing

  • Rows flash as ticks arrive. If the live stream drops, a ~10-second REST poll carries the table and the data badge says so — the terminal never silently shows stale prices.
  • The quick list is chosen for you when you have no saved lists yet, and it is what an older Quote Monitor window becomes when a saved desk opens.

Questions

Is the Watchlist real-time?
Yes — quotes stream tick-by-tick over websockets while the exchange feed is live, with an automatic ~10-second REST fallback. A badge on the window always tells you which mode you are in.
