How to create a watchlist in the Desktop Platform

To create a watchlist, start by going to the Settings menu by clicking the gear icon. The step-by-step instructions below illustrate how to get you set up. As a heads up, if you do not have enough real estate on your monitor, then the new watchlist you created may not appear when you click the watchlist drop-down menu. No need to panic. Just use the scroll wheel on your mouse or scrolling gesture on your (laptop) touchpad. Although a scroll bar is not present, the drop-down menu is scrollable. Your watchlists can also be accessed in the Watchlist tab.
