Tonite 3/30/10 the webinar w/StockBandit he had his watchlist columns set up with Green - Yellow - Red  Light. He could click and put a check mark say for Green ( buy candidate) to add to his watclist, or remove a check mark to take a stock off the active list. He could also just bring up the Green Light Watchlist. Could you show how to to do this. Thank you in advance.

Just add a WatchList as a WatchList Column. Checking the flag on and off by double-clicking will add/remove a symbol from the WatchList.

In StockFinder 5, you'd select Add Column and choose an existing WatchList. You can create a new WatchList by selecting File | New WatchList. Selecting File | Open WatchList will bring up the WatchList itself.

In StockFinder 4, you'd right-click on a blank portion of the WatchList Column Headers and select New Column | Flag (or Flag for New WatchList). Selecting File | Select WatchList will bring up the WatchList itself.

This sounds like interesting functionality, but the check-boxes are read-only for me (current and at least the last 5-10 SF  5 builds).

As an unrelated aside, I am unable to add a watchlist column for my broker, which means it is at least 4 steps to allow a column saying whether I have a stock or not.  Alternatively, creating a "replace into" so I don't have to change watchlists twice and delete would also make this faster.

You have to double-click to turn the watchlist flag on and off.  Does double-clicking not work?
