Since our Alpha launch in June, we have been growing rapidly and are approaching 50,000 users. Users requested the ability to set up and personalize their watchlists on YCharts. Today, we released this functionality. You can set up your watchlist here. Once you set up your watchlist(s) it will appear on the upper left side of the front page.

Customize Fundamental Metrics
You can customize your watchlist to show any of the fundamental metrics that we track. The real-time stream can also be set to show only news, tweets, videos of stocks that are in your watchlist.

Add Stock to Watchlist from Quote Pages
You will see a
logo next to all company names when you are on a quote page. Use this to add a company that you are researching to a watchlist. See below.

Social Features (Public / Private Settings)
When you register you have the option to make yours watchlist(s) public or private. If you choose to leave it public other users will be able see the stocks in your watchlist by visiting http://ycharts.com/profiles/username.
Our approach is to launch fast and iterate so expect a lot more functionality and social features over the next several months. Feel free to post your ideas here.
