Watchlist - Ticker Symbol

[Dsou]

Hi,

Is it possible to add the ticker symbol to watchlist entries?

Been asked before and the response from IT was 'CBA' and 'IDGAF'

Thanks for the reply...doesn't seem like its a big ask or something that is rocket science...

Hopefully the more people that ask the more chance there is that they will implement something?

Also it'd be nice to be able to add a note to watchlist tickers...

It seems like IG would rather pay boring old geezers to come on their podcasts and drone on for hours than add features to their online platform.  Maybe it's a case of the execs getting gigs for their mates?  A bit of an old Tory network going on.

Along with the absence of a clock and market hours which I have replied about in an other thread, one of the first things I noticeed the lack of in IG coming from another platform is the lack of ticker symbols. I know in the deal ticket I can see the 'code' or ticker, but searching by ticker and it being displayed by ticker would be really useful.

Currently when you search using a ticker, you get a list of companies and so you need to know what the full name is, which you dont always know, I know I can find this elsewhere, but it is a basic ask and implemented on most other platforms. Just list companies/stocks etc by their ticker symbol, or include the ticker symbol in an obvious place. sometimes we just see a ticker talked about somewhere and want to know more, with IG finding that ticker can prove cumbersome currently.

 

Thanks

Yes, IG, please add ticker symbols to watchlists and charts.

I am trying IG because Winwaycharts do not cater for the Australian market. I am also supplied watchlists for the UK and US markets that just list the ticker, and I am spending hours trying to find the company. If tickers can't be added then I will have to look for an alternative.
