Watchlists & alerts

Group the symbols you follow into watchlists and define price/condition alerts. What each stores and how they stay private to you.

Watchlists

A watchlist is a named group of ticker symbols you follow — a convenient starting point for a backtest universe or a Lab experiment.

Each watchlist stores:

  • name — your label.
  • symbols — an array of tickers.

Watchlists are private: only the owner can read or edit them.

Alerts

An alert watches a symbol for a condition you define:

  • symbol — the ticker to watch.
  • condition — a JSON object describing the trigger (e.g. a price threshold).
  • is_active — whether the alert is currently armed (defaults to on).

Alerts are also private to their owner.

Using them together

  • Build a watchlist of candidates, then paste those symbols into a backtest universe.
  • Arm alerts on the names you’re actively researching so you notice moves worth a fresh backtest.
