| How To Edit Watchlist On Webull |
1.1 Logging In to Your Webull Account
First things first, open your web browser and navigate to the official Webull website. You'll need to log in using your registered credentials. Make sure you're on the secure Webull site to protect your account information.
1.2 Navigating to the Watchlist Section
Once logged in, you'll typically land on your main dashboard or a similar overview page. Look for a clear navigation menu, usually on the left-hand side or at the top of the screen. You should see an option labeled "Watchlist" or "My Watchlist." Click on it! This will take you to your primary watchlist view, where all your created lists are displayed.
Step 2: Creating a New Watchlist
Sometimes, starting fresh is the best approach, or you might want to categorize your stocks for different strategies. Webull makes it easy to create new watchlists.
2.1 Initiating the New Watchlist Creation
On your Watchlist page, you'll generally find an option to "Create New Watchlist" or a similar button, often represented by a "+" icon or a dropdown menu labeled "Manage Watchlists."
2.2 Naming Your Watchlist
A pop-up or a dedicated section will appear, prompting you to enter a unique name for your new watchlist. Be descriptive! For example, "Tech Growth Stocks," "Dividend Portfolio Trackers," or "Potential Short Squeeze Candidates." Choose a name that helps you quickly identify its purpose. Once named, click "Create" or "Save."
Step 3: Adding Symbols to Your Watchlist
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Now that you have your watchlists, it's time to populate them with the stocks, ETFs, or other assets you want to monitor.
3.1 Searching for a Symbol
Within your selected watchlist, look for a "Search" bar or an "Add Symbol" button. Type in the ticker symbol (e.g., AAPL for Apple) or the company name you wish to add. As you type, Webull will often provide suggestions.
3.2 Confirming the Addition
Once you find the desired symbol, you'll usually see a "+" icon or a "Add" button next to it. Click this button to instantly add the stock to your currently active watchlist. You can repeat this process for all the assets you want to track.
Pro Tip: You can also often add a stock to your watchlist directly from its individual stock detail page by clicking a "like" button or a star icon, usually located at the top right.
Step 4: Removing Symbols from Your Watchlist
Just as easily as you add symbols, you can remove them when they no longer serve your purpose.
4.1 Locating the Symbol to Remove
Navigate to the watchlist containing the symbol you wish to remove. Find the specific stock in your list.
4.2 Deleting the Symbol
There are typically a couple of ways to remove a symbol:
Individual Deletion: Hover over the symbol, and you might see a small "X" or a trash can icon appear. Clicking this will prompt you to confirm the deletion.
Bulk Deletion (if available): Some interfaces allow you to select multiple symbols using checkboxes and then click a "Delete Selected" button. If this option exists, it can be a huge time-saver for larger clean-ups.
Remember to confirm your action when prompted to ensure you don't accidentally remove something important.
Step 5: Rearranging and Reordering Your Watchlist
Organization is key! Webull allows you to reorder the symbols within a watchlist to prioritize what's most important to you.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
5.1 Entering Edit Mode for Reordering
On your watchlist page, look for an "Edit Watchlist" option. This might be a pencil icon, a settings gear, or a simple text link. Clicking this often puts your watchlist into an editable state.
5.2 Drag and Drop Functionality
In edit mode, you should be able to click and drag individual stock rows up or down to change their position in the list. This is incredibly intuitive for customizing the visual flow of your watchlist.
5.3 Saving Your Changes
After you've finished rearranging, make sure to click "Save Changes" or "Done" to lock in your new order.
Note: While you can reorder symbols within a watchlist, Webull's web platform currently has limitations on reordering the watchlists themselves. However, you can often pin one watchlist to the top for easy access.
Step 6: Customizing Watchlist Columns (Advanced Tip!)
This is where you can truly personalize your Webull watchlist to display the data that matters most to your trading strategy.

6.1 Accessing Column Settings
On your watchlist page, look for a "Settings" icon (often a gear or three horizontal lines) at the end of the column headers row. Click this icon to open the column customization panel.
6.2 Selecting and Deselecting Data Points
A menu will appear with a list of available data points (e.g., Last Price, Change %, Volume, Market Cap, P/E Ratio, Next Earnings, etc.).
Check the boxes next to the columns you want to display.
Uncheck the boxes next to the columns you want to hide.
6.3 Arranging Column Order
Some platforms allow you to also drag and drop the column names within this settings panel to change their horizontal order on your watchlist. Experiment to find what works best for your visual flow.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
6.4 Applying Changes
Once you've made your selections and arranged the columns to your liking, remember to click "Apply" or "Save" to update your watchlist view.
Think about your strategy:
Day traders might focus on real-time price, volume, and percentage change.
Long-term investors might prioritize fundamental data like P/E, EPS, and upcoming earnings.
Step 7: Managing Multiple Watchlists
Webull allows you to have several watchlists, which is fantastic for organizing different sectors, strategies, or even just tracking stocks you're interested in for different reasons.
7.1 Switching Between Watchlists
On the Watchlist page, there's typically a dropdown menu or a set of tabs that allows you to easily switch between your created watchlists. This ensures you're always viewing the relevant information for your current focus.
7.2 Deleting Entire Watchlists
If you have a watchlist that's no longer needed, you can delete it entirely. Access the "Manage Watchlists" section (often found in the same dropdown where you create new watchlists). Here, you should see an option, usually a trash can icon, next to each watchlist name to delete it. Be careful, as this action is usually irreversible!
