Guide
Reference
This is a quick lookup for controls that appear in multiple parts of the product. It helps when you know what control you need but cannot remember where it lives or exactly what it does. Each entry gives the location, what the control changes, and any conditions that affect its availability.
What this section covers
- List header controls: current list name (click to open list manager), sort column arrows (click column header; optional absolute-value sorting adds extra sort states for negative columns), search bar (narrows visible rows without changing list composition), favorites star (click to mark a coin and assign a color), and column visibility controls including optional OI and F columns.
- List manager controls: Manager tab (switch, create, edit, open in new window, delete), Export tab (choose lists and optional linked data), Import tab (upload a lists file and choose what to apply).
- Chart header controls: ticker and market display, candle statistics, chart type buttons (candles / bars), timeframe buttons (1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d), Reset (returns to default view), Fit (scales to all loaded candles), Panorama (freehand drag mode), Focus (centers on current price), fullscreen button, and optional chart info values controlled from Settings → Chart.
- Drawing toolbar controls: individual figure buttons (Price line, Ray, Fibonacci, Parallel lines, Price channel, Segment, Rectangle, Waves 3/5/8, Note, Volume Profile), delete mode button, magnet button (three states: off / weak / strong), Ctrl temporary weak magnet while drawing, color picker (default color for new figures), Ruler tool.
- Orderbook panel controls: bid/ask rows with volume in base and quote, optional 5% imbalance rows, percentage distance column, base/quote threshold values in the header (click a threshold value to enter a custom per-coin override, × to reset), the entire panel shows only orders within ±5% of the current price.
- Notifications window controls: "Price" tab (active / newly triggered / inactive delivered notifications), "By parameters" tab with "By changes" (saved parameter notifications), "Impulse" (enable switch, period, percent threshold), and "Print activity" (scope, side, sound, cooldown, Large print, Print burst, selected symbols), "Delete all" button (clears the current notification list).
- Settings dialog controls: six tabs (Common, Chart, Theme, Account, Export, Import). Common contains metric and global behavior settings, including Open Interest display, Funding column display, trade-count windows, orderbook threshold behavior, absolute-value sorting, and OS notifications; Chart contains chart info toggles (timeframe, candle countdown, candle date/time, OHLC, open/close diff, funding, P24, V24), level price mode, and patterns; Theme contains colors and the List Gradient switch; Account contains identity and delivery channel; Export/Import transfer selected settings fields.
- Mobile controls: the compact header switches between List, Chart, Orderbook, large-order map, and Top charts when those views are available. Top charts has its own panel for timeframe, metric, sort direction, refresh, and chart count. The menu opens List manager, Event notifications, Settings, Account, Help, and Support.
- App download controls: the landing menu item "App" and the product description dialog provide the versioned Android APK link app_<version>.apk from watchlist.top.

Keyboard shortcuts reference table
The shortcut table keeps key combinations in the left column and actions in the right column, grouped by navigation, chart, drawing, and alerts.
Operational notes
- The reference covers control locations and short descriptions. Workflow explanations, step-by-step instructions, and formula details live in the dedicated sections.
- Some controls are only visible in specific modes: the top-list interval selector is only shown in list mode; the grid manager is only available when a grid is open.
- When absolute-value sorting is enabled, headers of supported negative columns cycle through four states: descending, descending by absolute value, ascending, ascending by absolute value. The current state is shown in the column tooltip.
- The price axis is interactive: dragging it vertically locks the vertical scale manually. Double-clicking the price axis restores auto-scaling. A locked scale can cause candles to disappear from view when switching to a coin with a significantly different price level.
- Import/export controls are account-state dependent. Settings import/export and list import are not available in demo and trial access states.
- Print activity controls depend on the current list because the configuration and selected symbols are saved per list.
- The F column is optional and controlled from Settings → Common. It shows current futures funding rate; the tooltip shows the rate as percent and time until next funding when available.
- The OI column is optional and controlled from Settings → Common. It can show current value or selected-window change for 1h, 12h, or 24h. In Value mode, quote/base changes the displayed unit. In Change mode, quote/base changes the percentage calculation basis.
- The List Gradient switch is in Settings → Theme → List. It controls intensity-based cell backgrounds for list metrics that use above/below price or positive/negative difference colors.
- On mobile, many desktop header controls move into the compact menu. This is expected and does not mean the feature is missing.
- On mobile, Top charts takes a snapshot of metric values when opened, when metric or direction changes, or when refresh is tapped. This prevents unexpected reordering while scrolling.
- Android update prompts and manual app links use the versioned APK URL on watchlist.top, not a Telegram post link.
- Controls that depend on account state (delivery channel, trial CTA) change appearance based on whether email is confirmed or Telegram is bound.
When to use it
- When you already know what feature you need and just want to find the exact tab, button, or dialog quickly.
- When you need a quick lookup without reading through a full workflow explanation.
When not to rely on it
- If you need onboarding, formula explanations, or troubleshooting with multiple dependent steps.
- If your question needs a narrative explanation rather than just a location.
Typical interpretation mistakes
- Using reference snippets instead of following the full workflow when a step-by-step approach is needed.
- Assuming that knowing where a control is also explains what it does and when it is available.
- Forgetting that some controls are conditionally unavailable depending on mode, market, or account state.
Algorithms and formulas to understand
- Why some controls are contextual and only appear in specific application modes
- Why account state gates certain controls (delivery channel options, trial CTA)
- Why transfer controls can be disabled in demo or trial state
- Why Print activity settings belong to the current saved list
- Why Funding in the list and Funding on the chart are configured separately
- Why Open Interest display mode changes the list cell and sort value without changing the underlying futures OI data
- Why the List Gradient switch affects cell intensity but not the numeric values shown in the list
- Why absolute-value sorting changes only row order and not the displayed metric value
- Why mobile Top charts uses explicit refresh for values and sorting
- Why Android app download links are versioned APK files
- Why mobile uses compact navigation instead of showing all desktop controls at once
