Keeping Watchlists Short and Synced.

Three notes on keeping a list short, how sync behaves, and when to set it all up.

How long should a good watchlist be?

A good watchlist is short. Traders who follow forty instruments usually watch five and glance at the rest, so a focused list plus alerts on the others tends to work better than scrolling a long list several times a day.

How do watchlists and layouts stay in sync?

Watchlists and layouts sync in real time, so a change made on the desktop terminal appears on the phone without an export. Pair a short watchlist with alerts on the instruments you are not actively watching and one screen covers the whole day.

Who should set up watchlists and layouts first?

Setting up watchlists and layouts is the first hour of work for any new trader on the platform, and the thing experienced traders rebuild when they change devices. Doing it once and syncing is the point.

Where This Fits.

A watchlist and a saved layout are where most traders start shaping the platform to their day. The TM9 home page shows the full app and the devices they sync across.

Short answers

Building watchlists costs nothing: the apps are free for end users, and broker-platform licenses are quoted per setup. A list can hold forex, indices, commodities and instruments from a curated CFD list, which gains new instruments each quarter. If a layout will not sync, support answers on WhatsApp or email within 24 hours for free users and within 1 hour for Pro during market hours; anything involving money in your account goes to your broker.

The short version

Your watchlists and layouts live in TM9, which is trading software rather than a broker. The mobile and web apps are free for traders, and brokers license the platform in three tiers. The forex, index, commodity and CFD instruments on your list are traded through the broker account you connect, and that broker holds your funds throughout. WhatsApp and email support handles app questions, and your broker handles anything involving money.

Good to know

For a setup question this page does not answer, WhatsApp support is quickest, and the contact page lists the support, privacy and sales addresses. Balances, deposits and withdrawals are for your broker to resolve, since TM9 never holds client funds. Trading carries a real risk of loss.
