What is a Stock Watchlist?

Watchlists are fully customizable lists that help you stay organized. You can monitor your top stock ideas, ETFs, your portfolio, or a focused group of tickers, all in one place.

These personalized watchlists help you monitor price movements as they typically include key metrics like price and volume. Additionally, you can customize your stock watchlists to include performance indicators like daily closing range and volume run rate, and fundamental data, including important earnings information.

How Stock Watchlists Help Traders Stay Organized

Staying organized is critical if you want to consistently spot top-performing stocks and catch shifts in sector or industry trends. That’s where Deepvue comes in.

Its watchlist system, including Color Lists, makes it easy to manage everything from high-potential setups to your current positions. Think of your stock watchlists as a trading funnel.

1. Start with a Universe List

This is your wide net. Include every stock that meets your general trading criteria – whether it’s based on fundamentals, technical strength, volume, or price range.

Long-term investors may prioritize strong earnings growth, while short-term traders may zero in on liquidity and price action.

2. Narrow down to a Focus List

This list should contain the strongest ideas from your Universe List. Focus on stocks that are setting up based on your technical criteria (like a clean uptrend or base breakout).

The smaller the list, the easier it is to monitor closely and act when the time is right.

3. Zoom in on your Ready List

These are your highest-conviction ideas – typically just 5 to 10 names. Stocks in your Ready List should be close to entry, meeting both your technical and fundamental conditions.

This is the list you want at your fingertips during market hours. By breaking down your process into stages, you stay laser-focused and avoid emotional or rushed decisions.

How to Create a Stock Watchlist

In the Watchlist Module, click the New Watchlist Button and create a new stock watchlist. From there, you can create as many as you would like.

As your organization becomes more advanced, you can build a Combo List. This powerful feature combines multiple watchlists and screeners into one master list, so you can see everything in a single view without duplicate tickers.

You can also drag and drop your stock watchlist tabs across the top to sort them however you like.

Overview of Deepvue Preset Watchlists

In Watchlists, there are a number of preset lists already configured to get new subscribers set up quickly:

Alerts List: See which alerts have triggered, check any notes, and sort or edit them without leaving the list. You can also reset or delete alerts in just a few clicks.

Favorites List: Keep your top setups or current positions in one place. The Favorites tab is perfect for tracking the strongest performers and managing your portfolio or most actionable ideas.

Universe List: This list combines all your watchlists into one. It removes duplicates automatically, so you can scan every stock you’re watching in one efficient view.

You can fully customize the columns to show any data point available in Deepvue.

What Makes Deepvue Color Lists so Useful?

Deepvue’s Color Lists are one of the most powerful tools for organizing your stock watchlists. They bring visual clarity to what could otherwise be a messy, overwhelming process

Each color list is fully customizable. You can rename them to fit your process, whether that’s labeling stocks as “Breaking Out,” “Setting Up,” “Pullbacks,” “IPOs,” or anything else that suits your trading style.

These colors sync across the entire Deepvue platform. If you assign a stock to a color list in one module, that tag carries over everywhere else automatically.

So no matter where you’re reviewing a ticker, whether it’s during screening, in your watchlist, or while reviewing alerts, you’ll instantly recognize where it fits in your strategy.

How to Use Deepvue’s Color Lists to Improve Your Process

Using Deepvue’s Color Lists is as easy as it is effective. Just click the ticker logo, select the color list you want, and you’re done – A colored icon appears next to the ticker, instantly signaling where that stock stands in your funnel.

As you screen for new trade ideas, use colors to separate different types of setups, like:

• Green for breakouts
• Blue for basing stocks
• Yellow for IPOs
• Red for potential short candidates
• Purple for high-priority ideas

When your Universe List gets big, it can be overwhelming. Color Lists help you break it down into focused, manageable groups. So instead of scanning 100+ names, you’re reviewing 10–20 high-potential setups per color group.

Color Lists are perfect for feeding your trading funnel – As you work through your Universe List, use colors to mark stocks you want to add to your Focus List. Then, as setups get tighter, move those tickers to your Favorites with a different color.

This is especially useful when screening. As you Screen for leading stocks, use the color lists to help organize your stock watchlists.
