Watchlists, Heatmap and Indian Market Overview
TradingLead combines cloud watchlists, a sortable Watch grid, Multi Watchlists, published indices and constituents, company details, stored peers and a configurable market heatmap. These panels help organize Indian-stock research; quote receipt times and stored snapshots are not guarantees of live exchange prices or fresh fundamentals.
Organize a research list, then inspect context
Use the Watch sidebar for a primary stock grid and the Multi Watchlists bottom panel for several lists. A category or published index supplies a research universe; a cloud watchlist preserves your chosen members. Neither automatically runs a screener or places an order.
The primary Watch grid supports sorting, typed column filters, quick search, column visibility/order/width and manual row order. Columns must be discovered from the actual grid. Manual reordering requires clearing sort, filters and search; a filtered view is not the list's full manual order.
Flag visible rows in red, blue, green, yellow, purple, cyan or pink, or favorite-star existing lists/categories for easier selection. These are organizational labels, not trading signals.
Which panel answers which question?
| Panel | Research use | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Watch | Keep, filter and navigate a stock list | Shared quote summaries are not certified fresh data |
| Multi Watchlists | See up to 12 existing-list cards | Local layout; no extra broker connection |
| Indices | Browse published indices and their constituents | Selecting an index also requests its chart |
| Company Details | Read sector, industry, ratios and stored news titles | Stored upstream snapshot, not live fundamentals |
| Peers | Find stored related companies matched to chart tickers | Unsupported/unmatched entries remain explicit |
| Heatmap | Inspect color-coded breadth and relative tile sizes | Current quote summaries only; no 1W/1M view |
Details follows the current chart symbol and has explicit collapsed, loading, empty, error and ready states. Merely selecting a company is not a completed data fetch. Peers Refresh/Retry reloads stored data rather than scraping new financial information.
Heatmap settings without a market-cap claim
Choose an offered universe, sector grouping or no grouping, and tile size by:
- % move: absolute daily move for size; direction is carried by color.
- Shares: traded volume, which can emphasize cheap, heavily traded stocks.
- Traded value: price × volume, a turnover proxy rather than market capitalization.
- Equal: every symbol gets equal area.
Color scales are 2, 3, 5 or 10; limits are all, 50, 100, 250 or 500 tiles. Search highlights symbols rather than fetching historical returns. Aggregate breadth and missing-quote counts help explain coverage, but quote receipt time is not provider freshness.
For example, organize an NSE shortlist, inspect it with equal-sized tiles to avoid turnover dominating the picture, then open relevant stocks for individual chart research. This arrangement is illustrative, not a buy list or evidence that every quote is current.
Saving, exporting and published reports
Create/add-symbol commands accept at most 500 explicit canonical symbols. Removal and flag batches are limited to 100 symbols. Renaming, deletion and favorites have their own operations; deleting a cloud list is irreversible. A successful local display update is not permission to edit cloud membership.
Watch CSV reads export the displayed filtered/sorted rows, at most 100 rows and 24 visible columns per page, within 128 KiB. Formula-like cell prefixes are escaped. Page remaining rows rather than assuming one response is the full list; the command returns text without writing a file.
Market Intelligence reads authorized published datasets and snapshot provenance. Its market/symbol views and pinning help retain research context, but unavailable datasets remain blocked or missing. Futures reads published participant reports; see futures analysis. Neither is live position data or an automatic analysis job.
Use it with an AI assistant
Use tl-markets. Real commands are watchlists.getRows, watchlists.setView, watchlists.create, indices.getState, peers.get and heatmap.configure. Discover the mounted panel and exact offered universe/column IDs first. Read after changes and verify chart readiness after selecting a row.
See the TradingLead command reference and AI prompt cookbook. Cloud watchlist writes need separate user approval; reading market context is not live broker execution.
Steps
- Open Charts and the Watch sidebar.
- Select an existing watchlist, flag list or category.
- Sort/filter the Watch grid and inspect actual data timestamps.
- Open published indices, company Details or Peers for context.
- Configure a heatmap universe, tile size and grouping.
- Save a reviewed shortlist as a TradingLead watchlist, not a broker order.
Limitations
- Quotes and company/peer information do not certify current exchange or fundamental freshness.
- Heatmap has no historical-period view and turnover sizing is not market cap.
- Only published indices and supported chart-catalog tickers are available; unmatched peers have no inferred symbol.
- Watch-grid commands address the primary grid, not every secondary grid.
- Column preferences persist; filters/search are session-only. Multi Watchlists layout is account/device-local.
- CSV commands return bounded text, not a file, clipboard write or redistribution license.
- External cloud watchlist changes require real sign-in and separate user permission.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I create watchlists from screener results?
- Yes. Collect verified canonical symbols from completed results and create or add to a TradingLead cloud watchlist. Watchlist writes accept up to 500 symbols per command and require the user's separate write permission for an assistant.
- Are these my broker watchlists?
- No. TradingLead cloud watchlists are separate from broker watchlists and order placement. Cloud list management does not authorize broker access.
- Does the heatmap show market capitalization?
- Not as its tile-size model. Choose absolute percentage move, share volume, equal tiles or traded value (price × volume). Traded value is a turnover proxy, not company market capitalization.
- Can I view a weekly or monthly heatmap?
- No. This heatmap uses current quote summaries without historical-period returns. Weekly/monthly candles belong to charts or screening, not this heatmap.
- Where do stock peers come from?
- Stored peer information is matched to the chart ticker catalog for supported NSE equities. Matched peers can be chart-linked; unmatched company entries are not invented tickers. Refresh reloads stored peers and catalog data, not an upstream scrape.
- How many watchlists can I display together?
- Multi Watchlists supports up to 12 existing-list cards in its account/device-local layout. Closing cards does not delete the underlying cloud watchlists.
