Set up a watchlist to monitor investment opportunities | Plynk

Build a watchlist in the Plynk app to keep track of stocks and funds you may be interested in.

Are there securities you’ve had your eye on but aren’t sure when to buy? Or maybe there’s a theme or sector that intrigues you but you’re having trouble deciding which stocks or funds you want?
 
Using a watchlist can help inform these kinds of decisions for you.
 

What is a watchlist and why should I create one?

A watchlist shows you the current prices of stocks and funds of your choosing, as well as their percent change throughout the day (whether they’ve gone up or down).

It lets you monitor potential trading and investing opportunities by keeping you up to date on the latest pricing information—while also giving you quick and easy access to purchase securities you’re tracking.

Setting up a watchlist in the Plynk app

You can add a stock or fund to your watchlist by tapping the watch icon that appears next to it when using the search bar, or on the individual page for that security. Tapping the icon again will remove it from your watchlist.

There are 3 ways to sort your list:

  • Last price
  • Percent change in price that day
  • Dollar amount change in price that day

Your watchlist can include up to 25 securities at a time, allowing you to compare a wide variety of stocks and funds.
