Watchlist and Delivery: Filtering the Noise

The platform tracks 55+ instruments by default. Most traders actively follow 5 to 15. The watchlist is how you bridge that gap: tell the platform which pairs you care about, and almost every view will quietly filter to just those.

What the watchlist controls

When you toggle the watchlist filter (top right of any data page), the following views narrow to your tracked symbols:

• The dashboard (Now strip, movers, strength, heat map, trends grid, side rail, news)
• The trends grid page
• The market movers page
• The currency strength page
• The volatility page
• The heat map page
• The news feed

The toggle preference is sticky per page via a cookie, so once you set it on the dashboard, you do not have to set it again.

Adding pairs to your watchlist

The watchlist page lists every tracked instrument with a star toggle. Star a pair to add it. Unstar to remove. Changes apply immediately.

A good default watchlist for a forex day trader is the seven major pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD) plus the two or three crosses you most often trade. Eight to ten pairs is enough to give you opportunities every session without being overwhelming.

For swing traders, the watchlist is often shorter (three to six pairs) and includes more crosses where multi-day trends tend to develop cleanly.

Notification preferences

The watchlist also unlocks per-pair notifications. On the watchlist page, each tracked pair has settings for:

• Day Trade alerts on / off
• Long Term alerts on / off

There is also a global notification preferences screen where you can set defaults for new watchlist entries.

How alerts are delivered

Trend alerts are delivered to Telegram. That is the channel built around fast, asynchronous notifications you can react to from your phone without logging in.

To connect:

1. Visit your notification settings
2. Generate a connection token
3. Open the Markets Mastered Telegram bot and send the token
4. Alerts start flowing within a minute

The bot supports both day-trade and swing alerts, and you can also opt in to receive subscribed briefings through the same chat.

Briefings (morning, evening, week ahead) are additionally delivered by email to subscribers when they publish.

A word on alert volume

If you star 20 pairs and turn on every alert type, you will receive enough Telegram notifications to lose track of which ones matter. A more sustainable default:

• Star only the pairs you actively trade
• Day Trade alerts: on for the pairs you trade intraday
• Long Term alerts: on for everything (they are rare)

This typically lands you in the 3 to 8 alerts per day range, which is digestible and lets every alert genuinely earn your attention.

What the watchlist will not do

It will not change which instruments the platform tracks; everything tracked is still tracked, you just see less of it. If you want to know "what is moving on the whole board right now," toggle the watchlist off for that page.

It also will not affect the briefings. The morning, evening, and week ahead briefings cover the markets as a whole. The watchlist only filters the live data views.
