Watchlist Card
Last updated: 14 April 2026
What is a Watchlist Card?
The Watchlist Card is your daily morning snapshot. It shows every stock in your watchlist in one glance — current price, day change, after-hours movement, and a PT tag for each ticker. The card is delivered automatically each morning before market open and refreshes on demand.
Market Summary Bar
Below the WATCHLIST title, a single line shows how the broad market moved that session. This gives context to every individual stock in your list before you read any row.
| Index | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| S&P500 | Broad US market. Red = risk-off day, green = risk-on. Use as a baseline for whether your stocks are outperforming or underperforming the market. |
| Nasdaq | Tech-heavy index. Relevant when your watchlist skews toward growth and tech names. A split signal — S&P500 red but Nasdaq green — suggests sector rotation into tech. |
Color coding
Green = positive change for the session. Red = negative change. The percentage shown is the day's return from the prior close.
Stock Rows
Each stock in your watchlist occupies one row. Every row has four columns: logo + ticker + tag, current price, day change percentage, and after-hours data.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Logo / Ticker | Company logo and ticker symbol. The PT tag sits beneath the ticker — one tag per stock, the highest-priority signal from the PT engine at the time the card was generated. |
| Price | Last traded price at the time of card generation. When the market is open this is the live price; when closed, it is the official closing price. |
| Day Change % | Percentage return from the previous session's close. Green = up on the day, red = down on the day. Always the regular-session change, not the total including after-hours. |
After-Hours Data
Each row shows a second pair of numbers below the main price and change. These are the after-hours (or pre-market) figures, marked with a moon icon.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Price | The last traded price in the after-hours or pre-market session. If the market is closed, this reflects any trades that have occurred since the official close. |
| Change % | The percentage change in the extended session, calculated from the regular-session close. Green or red follows the same convention as the day change. |
How to Read a Watchlist Card
Start with the market bar. Then scan tags. Details come last.
Check S&P500 and Nasdaq. Both green = broad tailwind, your stocks have the wind behind them. Both red = headwinds, be more selective. Split = rotation at play, check which sector your watchlist is heavier in.
Run your eye down the tag column only. Tags are designed to be read in under a second each. The tag tells you the dominant condition for that stock right now — whether it's surging, dumping, cooling off, or somewhere in between.
Compare each stock's day change to the market bar. A stock up +3% on a flat market day is outperforming. A stock down –4% on a green market day is a red flag. Context makes the number meaningful.
After-hours moves above ±1% are worth noting, especially if they conflict with the day's direction. A stock down –3% on the day but up +2% after-hours may be recovering; a stock up +4% on the day but down –3% after-hours may face pressure at next open.
The WL Card is a scanner, not an analysis tool. When a tag or price move grabs your attention, open the full PT Card for that stock. The PT Card gives you the complete picture: price levels, indicators, and RR.
