HOW TO: WATCHLIST
Hello Stockbitors!
Welcome to our How-To introduction series. Our series is designed to be short and sweet, it should take no more than 2 minutes to digest this blog. We’ll be running through Stockbit’s core feature - Watchlist!
"There are certain features in Stockbit Watchlist which are not commonly available in other platforms and would be very helpful for people looking to organise their watchlist."

THE WORKS
Stockbit provides access to thousands of public companies listed on Bursa Stock Exchange. But nobody can keep tabs on so many counters in the investing world. Watchlist is a commonly known function for investors to keep track of specific counters in the market.
Watchlist is a simple function and it’s available on almost every investing-related platform. Stockbit’s key differentiation point is that we’ve integrated our community function for you to easily keep tabs on recent market views. It’s tiring to search stocks one by one, why not consolidate and keep track of things on a single platform?
Any Stockbitor can log into the platform, select a stock from a leading public company, and organize it into a watchlist group. We’ve gone a step further to allow users to compare financial metrics like price-earnings (P/E) ratio or dividend yield.
