App modes and chart layouts | Watchlist.top Guide

What this section covers

The difference between list mode, saved grid mode, and single-ticker mode.
How the 1, 2, or 4 chart layouts work inside these modes and how one slot becomes active.
How relation links chart slots so that changing one of them can update several charts together.
How top-list works only with the current list, uses the number of visible slots, and temporarily pauses autosort while you inspect another coin from the list.
Why there are two variants of the two-chart layout: horizontal split (charts side by side) and vertical split (charts stacked), and when each is more practical.
How to create a saved grid: open the grid manager, create a new grid, assign a ticker to each slot, and save it as a named entity with its own layout.
How fullscreen mode works: the coin list hides and the chart fills the screen, while the mode context is preserved and restores when you exit.
Why different chart slots in the same layout can show different timeframes, and how that interacts with relation when a linked slot switches.

Key screens and controls

List manager, where the user opens a saved list and works with the coin list and orderbook on the right.
Grid manager, where the user opens a saved grid with its own chart slots and saved tickers.
Header buttons that switch the number of visible charts: one chart, two charts, or four charts.
Relation buttons and the active chart slot inside the visible layout.
Top-list button and its interval selector when you are in list mode.
Horizontal and vertical two-chart layout buttons in the header.
Grid manager with the "Create" action and the list of saved grids.
Fullscreen button in the chart header and the fullscreen state with the list hidden.

Step-by-step flow

Open a saved list when you want to work with a stream of coins, filters, favorites, and autosort. In this mode the coin list and orderbook are on the right, and the charts are on the left.
Open a saved grid when you need a fixed set of charts with their own saved tickers. A grid is a separate saved entity, not just another layout button.
Use single mode when you want to open one ticker directly, without list logic and without a saved grid.
In list mode or grid mode, use the header buttons to choose how many charts are visible at once. One slot is always active.
When you click a coin in the list, the active slot changes first. If relation links are enabled, several chart slots can change together.
If top-list is enabled, the visible slots are filled with the top coins from the current list. The number of visible coins equals the number of visible chart slots.
While the pointer is over the list, autosort is temporarily paused so you can inspect another coin. When the pointer leaves the list, automatic selection resumes.
To create a saved grid, open the grid manager and click "Create". Assign a ticker to each slot, set the layout, and save. The grid stores its own tickers and layout independently from any list or top-list state.
To switch between horizontal and vertical two-chart layout, use the corresponding buttons in the header. Horizontal places charts side by side; vertical stacks them one above the other.
To enter fullscreen, click the fullscreen button in the chart header. The coin list hides and charts fill the screen. Click the same button to exit and restore the list.

Layout, active slot, and relation buttons

Show the header controls that change the number of charts, the active slot, and the links between charts.

Top-list with interval control

Show how top-list is enabled in list mode and where its interval is changed.

Operational notes

List mode, grid mode, and single mode are different application states. They should not be confused with the simple visual choice of how many charts are visible on screen.
A saved grid is not built automatically from the current list. It stores its own chart slots and its own saved tickers.
Top-list belongs to list mode. It does not replace saved grids and does not turn into a permanent workspace snapshot.
The current chart layout determines how many top coins can be shown at once, because top-list fills the visible chart slots.
When relation is enabled, one manual action can update several charts. When relation is disabled, only the active slot changes.
Autosort pause on list hover is temporary. It is meant for inspection, not for replacing the underlying top-list logic.
The two-chart layout has two separate variants: horizontal (side by side) and vertical (stacked). They are separate buttons in the header, not a sub-option of the same button.
Fullscreen hides the coin list. While in fullscreen you cannot click coins from the list. Exit fullscreen first if you need to interact with the list again.
Keyboard shortcuts for layout and navigation: Tab / Shift + Tab cycles the active chart slot forward and backward without touching the mouse; ↑ / ↓ moves to the next or previous coin in the list; ← / → switches the timeframe of the active chart; Shift + ← / → switches the timeframe of all visible charts at once.

When to use it

Use this section when you need to understand which application mode is currently open: list, grid, or single.
It is useful when the same coin seems to behave differently because the active chart slot, relation links, or top-list mode are involved.
Use it when you want one explanation of how saved grids differ from ordinary list mode and how visible chart layouts work inside both.

When not to rely on it

This is not the main section for metric formulas, screener thresholds, or alert trigger rules.
It is also not the right place for questions about account access, subscription limits, payment state, or notification delivery channels.

Typical interpretation mistakes

Do not treat a saved grid and the current chart layout as the same thing. A saved grid is a separate saved entity.
Do not treat top-list as a permanent saved workspace state. It is a display mode for the current list.
Do not expect paused autosort on list hover to mean that autosort is disabled everywhere and permanently.

Algorithms and formulas to understand

Why list mode, saved grid mode, and single mode open different working contexts even if the charts may look similar on screen
Why the current chart layout determines how many charts you see at once and, in top-list mode, how many top coins can be shown at the same time
Why relation can change several charts together, while with relation disabled only the active slot reacts to your action
Why top-list works only with the current list and why pausing autosort by hovering the list is always temporary
