Build your first watchlist
A watchlist is your personal shortlist of stocks. Once a ticker is on it, BreakoutScan quietly keeps tabs on it everywhere — the dashboard, the heatmap, even the calendar.
Add your first tickers
- 1Anywhere you see a ticker — a scan result, a runner, a catalyst — look for the ☆ star next to it and click it.
- 2Pick which list to add it to (your first list is created for you).
- 3Open Watchlist in the sidebar to see the full picture: performance, news overlap, and the heatmap view.
Or start from a ready-made list
Not sure what to watch yet? The Watchlist page includes curated theme lists — AI, biotech, uranium, and two dozen more — that you can browse instantly and favourite with one click. They’re a good way to learn what a sector’s “normal” looks like.
Good to know
Star a list itself (not just a ticker) and it appears in your sidebar under Watchlist — one click away from anywhere.
