You and Nifty 500: A Match Made in Tradingview Heaven (But How Do You Swipe Right?)
Ah, the Nifty 500. The who's who of the Indian stock market, a glittering constellation of 500 companies all set to make you richer (hopefully). But before you can rain metaphorical rupees on these corporate giants, you gotta get them into your Tradingview watchlist. That, my friend, is where things can get a tad...technical.
Fear not, intrepid investor! For I, your friendly neighborhood guide to all things Tradingview, am here to shed light on this nifty little process (see what I did there?).
How To Get Nifty 500 Stocks In Tradingview |
Method 1: The Nifty 500 Index - A Gateway to Greatness
Tradingview, in its infinite wisdom, understands your love for the big leagues. That's why they've got the Nifty 500 index readily available. Just search for "NSE:CNX500" and voila! You'll see a glorious chart, perfect for tracking the index's overall performance.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.![]()
But wait, I hear you cry, where are the individual stocks? Don't worry, drama queen, we're getting there. Click on the nifty 500 index chart, then navigate to the glorious tab named "Components." Here, you'll find a list of all 500 companies, their snazzy ticker symbols (like NSE:RELIANCE for Reliance Industries, just to name-drop a bigwig), and even some fancy financial data to keep your inner analyst happy.
Pro Tip: You can sort this list by various metrics like market cap or recent performance to find your next market-dominating multibagger (a fancy term for a stock that explodes in value).

Method 2: The Import Extravaganza - Because We Love Options (and Efficiency)
Feeling fancy? Do you crave the satisfaction of manually building your Nifty 500 empire? Well, fret no more, for Tradingview allows you to import a list of symbols. You can find these lists online, though a quick warning: make sure they're from reputable sources and relatively recent (companies shuffle in and out of the Nifty 500, you know).
Here's the down-low on importing:
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.![]()
- Find your Nifty 500 list: Hunt down a text file (.txt) containing all the Nifty 500 ticker symbols (one symbol per line).
- Head to your Tradingview watchlist: Click the "+" symbol and select "Import List."
- Choose your weapon: Select the .txt file containing your Nifty 500 bounty.
- Tradingview Magic: Let Tradingview work its wonders, and bingo! Your watchlist will be populated with the top 500 Indian stocks.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can even create your own custom Nifty 500 list based on specific criteria. Just be sure you have a good reason to exclude giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) - they might take offense!
So You've Got Your Nifty 500 Arsenal - Now What?
Now that you've got your Nifty 500 watchlist prepped and primed, it's time to unleash your inner stock market guru. Analyze charts, research companies, and make those informed decisions. Remember, investing involves risk, so make sure you do your due diligence before diving headfirst.
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.![]()
And hey, if things go south (hopefully not!), you can always blame it on the "fickle nature of the market" or those pesky astrological influences. Nobody will judge...much.
Happy investing, and may the Nifty 500 gods shower you with tendies (a delightful internet term for profits)!
