# Watchlists

## Exploring the Watchlists Widget

Web Trader's watchlist is designed to be sortable and filterable to help traders make decisions quicker (this is especially important when trading options as it helps determine the entry strategy). You can create your own watch list based on which groupings of stocks you would like to see in one view (available in demo mode). The screenshots below show the steps of creating your own watch list (ex: *FANG* watchlist).

You can link the News widget with your watchlist or vice versa. Every watch list created can be linked with its News widget. You can create different watchlist and link each to a different News widget. You can also customize the information and the layout and of the watchlist you create, through the settings, as it shows in the post below.

## Importing Watchlists From CSV Files

In addition to manually creating new watchlists, Autoshares Trader also enables traders to import watchlists from CSV Files. This can be done by clicking **Load from file**.

This will bring up the watchlist import window where you must:

1. Specify the name of the target watchlist.
2. Select a local CSV file containing the list of ticker symbols of companies that you would like to add to the new watchlist.
3. Specify the name or number of the column in the CSV file that contains the ticker symbols. For instance, here's a sample CSV File containing four ticker symbols:

Click **Load**.

Shortly after, the new watchlist will be added to your **Watchlist** widget:
