| How To Add Multiple Stocks In Tradingview Watchlist |
The Manual Method: Saddle Up, Partner
First, there's the classic, one-by-one approach. It's honest, it's simple, but let's be real, it can feel slower than a one-legged horse in quicksand. Here's how it goes:
- Click the "+" button next to your watchlist.
- Manually type in the ticker symbol of each stock you want to add. One. By. One. (Cue the tumbleweed rolling by).
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can even throw in an exchange code after a colon (like AAPL:NASDAQ).
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
This method might be your jam if you only have a few stocks or enjoy the meditative quality of slowly building your list. But for those with a hankering for a quicker approach, mosey on over to the next section, pilgrim.
The Copy-Paste Stampede: Let's Git This Round-Up Done!
Now we're talking! This method involves a little more wrangling beforehand, but it'll have you adding stocks faster than a jackrabbit on a sugar high.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
- Head over to your favorite stock screener or list. There are plenty of online resources where you can find symbols for the stocks you want to track.
- Copy the list of symbols. Make sure they're separated by commas, like this: AAPL, TSLA, AMZN.
- Go back to your TradingView watchlist. Click the "+" button again.
- Here's the magic: Right-click inside the new watchlist window and select "Paste".
Boom! Your watchlist should now be populated with all those tasty symbols you so meticulously wrangled.

Important Note: This method only works for plain text symbols. No fancy formatting allowed!
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The "I Don't Wanna Do Anything" Method: Because Laziness is a Virtue (Sometimes)
Alright, alright, we get it. You're practically horizontal and the idea of lifting a finger is enough to induce a nap. Fear not, for there might be a broker integration (depending on your broker) that allows you to automatically import your holdings into a watchlist. Check your broker's website or app for details.
But a word of caution, my friend: Just because a stock is in your portfolio doesn't necessarily mean it deserves a spot on your watchlist. Do your due diligence before letting every random holding stampede into your carefully curated corral.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
So there you have it, partners! With these handy methods, you'll be able to round up a herd of stocks in your TradingView watchlist faster than you can say "bullish breakout." Now get out there and wrangle those market beasts!
