How to Add a Column to a WatchList From a Plotted Indicator

There are multiple ways to take an indicator that is plotted on your chart and place its value as a column in your WatchList. This will give the current indicator value for each stock in the WatchList.

Drag & Drop

Click on the name of the indicator you wish to drag to a column

Any indicator value can be added to a WatchList from a plotted indicator. In this example, the 40-bar moving average is being used. The current value of that indicator will be added as a column in the WatchList.

Drag the indicator to the column destination desired.

The column can be added to the right or left of any existing column. It can also be placed above or below an existing column in a stacked column format. An orange line indicates where the column will be placed.

Your column is now added to your watchlist

Select Copy to Item In Layout

This opens "Target Mode"

The menus offer a number of options to apply the indicator value.

  1. Sort in New Window: opens a new window with the default WatchList and adds the indicator value as a column
  2. Show in New Report: opens a new Report and adds the indicator value as a new field
  3. Add Column: adds a column to the WatchList selected in the position shown by the Add Column tool arrow
  4. Add Column & Sort: adds a column to the WatchList selected in the position shown by the Add Column tool arrow and Sorts the WatchList by that value

Click Add Column (optional: & Sort)

Note: Add Column & Sort are 2 separate functions. Highlight only the Add Column section of the box to simply add the indicator value as a column. Make sure the white highlight covers BOTH the Add Column along with the & Sort boxes to sort the WatchList by the indicator value.

Your column is now added to your watchlist (and sorted if that option is chosen)
