Creating Watchlists

Create a watchlist by using the menu Tools > Create New Watchlist.

 

Sentient Trader will present a list of workspaces in the most recently used workspace directory. This window is used to select workspaces for inclusion in the watchlist.

 

  1. This is the full path to the directory where Sentient Trader is looking for workspaces.
  2. This button allows you to change the directory. Click on the button and a directory browser window will pop up allowing you to browse to the directory with the workspaces you want to include in the watchlist.
  3. This is a list of all the workspaces in the directory
  4. These are all the workspaces that have been selected to be included in the watchlist.
  5. This button will include ALL the workspaces in the left-hand window (the workspaces in the directory) in the watchlist, whether they are selected or not.
  6. This button includes all SELECTED workspaces in the left-hand window (the workspaces in the directory) in the watchlist.
  7. This button removes all SELECTED workspaces from the right-hand window (the workspaces selected for inclusion in the watchlist)
  8. This button removes ALL workspaces from the right-hand window (the workspaces selected for inclusion in the watchlist), whether they are selected or not. This button effectively clears the watchlist.

Choose any name you like. If you are following our getting started process we recommend using the name US_Stocks_Watchlist so that there is no confusion later.
