How to edit your watchlist headers

  • Updated

Watchlists allow for complete customization so you can ensure you are viewing and monitoring the most relevant information related to your list of securities. The headers that appear at the top of your watchlist and the order in which they appear can be edited so you can efficiently analyze and monitor your watchlists.

Choosing your headers and their order

To edit the headers and their order, select Edit Watchlist Layout from the Watchlist Actions dropdown. Alternately, you can go to Settings Edit Headers. Either path will bring you to the same page. 

On the Edit Headers page, clicking the name of the header toggles it on and off. Headers highlighted in green will appear in your watchlist. Headers highlighted in red will be hidden. To change the order of your headers, you can drag and drop the headers into your preferred order.
