ChartLists Quick Guide

ChartLists is built for fast, repetitive chart review. This page is quick guide for the site: arrow navigation, search, dashboard, and what the main watchlists mean.

1) Navigation in the chart grid

• ↑ ↓ Scroll thorough thousands of charts in a watchlist with simple up and down arrow
• ← → Left arrow will add to your focused list/ dashboard and right arrow will deselect that. As easy as that.
• PgUp / PgDn Move tickers in watchlist by 10 up or down.
• Home / End Jump to first / last item in the watchlist.
• Type Type 2-3 letters to search for any ticker. If ticker is available in our watchlists, you can select and move to the ticker's chart. If not, you will be directed to another reliable data source.
• Enter Open the ticker chart from search drop down.
• Esc Close search box or open panel.

2) Search (fastest way to jump tickers)

• / Focus the search box (common web pattern). If this isn’t wired on your build, click the search input once and you’re good.
• Search accepts: AAPL, NASDAQ:AAPL, or plain names like Apple (results vary by dataset).
• If a ticker isn’t in ChartLists, we will redirect you to another reliable source.

3) Add to Dashboard (your personal “do-not-forget” list)

• Use the Dashboard as a short list of names you want to revisit (setups, breakouts, earnings risk, etc.).
• Typical UX patterns :
  • ★ / + button on a tile/header to add/remove from Dashboard.
  • A “Saved” / “Pinned” state that persists across refreshes (if enabled).
• Best practice: keep Dashboard small (10–50) to ensure you remain focused.

4) What the watchlists mean

• Markets: Indexes / macro proxies (e.g., major indices, futures, sector/FX/commodities if included). Use this first to set context.
• Liquid / Liquid500: The “actionable” universe — higher liquidity names meant for fast review and execution reality (less junk, fewer illiquid traps).
• Stocks (broad set): Larger universe scan (more coverage, more noise). Great for discovery, slower for daily review.
• Leaders / Relative Strength: Names exhibiting persistent outperformance vs. the broader tape (useful for trend continuation and pullback buys).
• Laggers / Weakness: Names underperforming — useful for avoiding landmines or for short/hedge idea generation.
• Dashboard: Your curated shortlist. Treat it like a trader’s clipboard, not a museum archive.
