Note that you can cut and paste multiple tickers into the ticker entry box. The tickers can separated either by spaces or by commas, and can even be pasted from a source that has multiple lines.

Importing a Watchlist

This section describes how to import a watchlist from an external location.

The first option enables you to import a watchlist that was previously exported from Stock Rover or from a file which contains a list of tickers. If you have many watchlists or many iterations of a watchlist, you can save the watchlist offline for later import and use.

The second option is importing watchlists from the Investors’ Library. The Investors’ Library is a repository for investment research resources, including an extensive collection of watchlists that cover many different investment strategies.

Importing a Watchlist From a File

To import a watchlist, select Watchlists in the vertical Start menu located on the left side of the screen. Then right-click on Watchlists folder and select ‘Import Watchlist’ which opens the Import Watchlist window.
