First, create your new watchlist with your desired symbols and call it TEST 1. Next, create a new layout from the Global Configuration page. To access Global Configuration in Classic TWS, click the Edit menu option followed by Global Configuration. In Mosaic, click the File menu option followed by Global Configuration.
After the Global Configuration page loads, in the left panel:
- Click Trading Tools (Click the “+” sign to the left) > Watchlist (Click the “+” sign) > Watchlist Layouts (Click the words, NOT the + sign)
- In the right panel, click NEW. Enter a Name (we will call it ZZZ). Click OK
- Add the columns that you wish to display in your newly created layout by Highlighting ZZZ and click Edit followed by Apply and OK. We have now created a new Layout.
Next, in the left panel just above Watchlist Layouts, you will see Windows:
- Click the “+”sign next to Windows. Here you will see a list of all your Watchlists. Click on your previously created Watchlist "TEST 1".
- In the right panel you will see the name of your Watchlist (TEST 1) and below that a dropdown menu.
- Here you will select the ZZZ layout you created. Click Apply and OK.
Your Watchlist Layout is now saved.
