The watchlists functionality on the CMC Invest stockbroking platform helps easily track stocks of interest and monitor market movements. To access watchlists, hover over the 'Watchlists' tab on the platform toolbar. Here, you can view popular stock watchlists or create a new one.
Creating a Watchlist
To create a watchlist, select "Create Watchlist" from the menu. Domestic and international shares can be added to the same list. Simply enter the product code or company name in the Smart Search field, and it will show all possible matches from different markets. Once the desired products are selected, name the watchlist and click "Create." The new watchlist will now be available for viewing from the 'Watchlist' menu.
Adding Products to the Watchlist
Products can also be added by hovering over the product and clicking the "Add to Watchlist" option from the instrument popup menu. Continue adding products to align with trading strategies and research, helping track daily market movements. A single watchlist can hold up to 200 products.
Viewing the Watchlist
In the watchlist view, you can see the latest price, gains or losses for the day, bid/ask offers, highest/lowest, and closing values for each instrument, along with trading volume. In the 'Portfolio view', purchase and holding details can be added for each product to track daily gains and profits. Relevant FX rates for international shares are also available.
Exporting Data and Reports
The watchlist data can be conveniently exported as a CSV file for further analysis. Market notifications and recent announcements for each product are available by clicking on the report indicators next to the product codes.
