A Watchlist is a list of companies you save so that you can load with a few clicks. For example, your own portfolio or companies you would like to keep track of.

Templates - How to see only the ratios you want to see
The screener allows you to save and load only the ratios and indicators you would like to see (in columns). This is called a Template.
For example you can save a “Value” template with value ratios and indicators and a “Momentum” Template with momentum indicators.
To save a Template first click on the Templates icon.
You will see a few columns are already selected for you as a default. You can however change this and create as many Templates as you like.
To add or remove columns click on the Add/remove columns icon:
To add ratios or indicators simply click on any of the headings and then tick the box next to the ratio you would like to select.
The same way you can unselect the tick marks next to all the indicators you do not need.
To save your selection first click the Confirm button at the bottom of your screen.
Then to save your Template click on the Save As button.
Give your new Template a descriptive name, and then click the OK button to save it.
