Settings

Settings is a single dialog with six tabs. Each tab groups a different layer of the product: global behavior, metric parameters and timeframes (Common); chart display options and pattern detection (Chart); visual theme and colors (Theme); account details (Account); exporting selected settings to a file (Export); and importing selected settings from a file (Import). Signed-in users have settings saved to the account on the server. Anonymous demo users keep settings locally in the browser. Changes apply immediately without a page reload.

What this section covers

What the Common tab contains: timezone and chart padding; sound selector and volume; OS notifications toggle; data caching toggle; available timeframes selector (which TF buttons appear in the chart); metric timeframe and count settings for NATR, P_Δ, P_avg, relative volume, r_BTC, levels, and trends; the separate rolling trades window and average count; Open Interest settings; Funding column settings; orderbook parameters (big volume type, custom volume value, base/quote display, factor, timeout, level distance); confirmed levels parameters (count, allowed difference, breakout detection, history lookback, period); changes tracking toggles; and the Add absolute-value sorting switch.
What the Chart tab contains: chart info toggles — timeframe, countdown to the next candle, candle date/time, OHLC prices, open/close diff, funding value, funding countdown, P₂₄, V₂₄, and level price mode (control when price labels appear next to levels: never, on hover, or always). The volume value V belongs to the OHLC block and is hidden when OHLC prices are hidden.
What the Chart patterns block contains: enable/disable pattern detection, choose the timeframes to scan, set minimum score, maximum pattern age, maximum distance from the current price, and whether only confirmed patterns should be shown.
Trading style recommendations for chart patterns: use the ranges as a starting point, then tighten or loosen them based on your acceptable noise level.
Scalping / fast intraday — short trades within the day: quick moves, positions held from a few minutes to an hour, and patterns are relevant only for a short window. Timeframes: 5m and 15m, check context on 1h. Minimum score 80-90, maximum age 3-6 candles, maximum distance 1-3%, confirmed only — on.
Intraday — trades within a single trading day: setups that may play out over several hours, with possible confirmation needed near a level or after a breakout. Timeframes: 15m and 1h, use 4h as higher-timeframe context. Minimum score 75-85, maximum age 6-12 candles, maximum distance 3-5%, confirmed only — on.
Swing — trades lasting several days or longer: larger structure, higher-timeframe levels, and confirmed patterns matter more, while lower-timeframe noise matters less. Timeframes: 4h and 1d. Minimum score 70-85, maximum age 12-30 candles, maximum distance 5-10%, confirmed only — on.
Finding forming ideas — a watch mode for potential patterns: the pattern may not be confirmed yet, may fail, or may turn into a different scenario. Timeframes: 1h, 4h, 1d. Minimum score 60-75, maximum age 20-60 candles, maximum distance 10-20%, confirmed only — off.
Strict mode / minimum noise — screener filter: shows only the cleanest, freshest patterns closest to price; there will be fewer signals, but higher selection quality. Timeframes: 1h, 4h, 1d. Minimum score 85-95, maximum age 5-12 candles, maximum distance 2-6%, confirmed only — on.
Learning and historical review — example study mode: useful for comparing strong and weak patterns, reviewing older setups, and understanding which settings produce more or fewer signals. Timeframes: any you need. Minimum score 50-70, maximum age 60-120 candles, maximum distance 20-50%, confirmed only — can be turned off.
What the Theme tab contains: color pickers for every visual token in the application — chart background, text, borders, active and inactive elements, button states, chart grid, candlestick colors (up, down, flat), level colors, trend colors, alert markers, inactive shape color, and the List color block. The List block also has a Gradient switch that controls whether list cells use intensity-based backgrounds.
What the Account tab contains: email address management (save, confirm), password change (requires current password), alert delivery channel selection (Telegram or Email), and trial and subscription status.
What the Export tab contains: checkboxes for settings groups and individual fields, so you can download only the parts you need — general settings, chart settings, or theme.
What the Import tab contains: file upload for a Watchlist.top settings export, preview of available groups and fields, and checkboxes that let you choose exactly what will be applied.
How settings are saved: all settings are stored in your account on Watchlist.top servers. Opening the product in a different browser or on another device loads the same settings automatically.
How the orderbook big volume type works in settings: "Auto" derives the threshold from the orderbook data; "Custom" lets you set a fixed threshold that applies globally (individual coin overrides from the orderbook panel take precedence).
How confirmed levels parameters affect what levels appear in the list and on charts: the count and allowed difference control how strictly a price area must be revisited before being counted as a level.

Key screens and controls

Settings dialog with all six tabs visible: Common, Chart, Theme, Account, Export, Import.
Common tab with the orderbook section expanded showing volume type selector and related parameters.
Common tab with Add absolute-value sorting enabled.
Common tab with Open Interest settings: enable switch, comparison period, Value/Change display mode, and the base-coin toggle that changes depending on the selected display mode.
Common tab with Funding column settings.
Common tab with the levels section showing count, allowed difference, and breakout toggle.
Chart tab with display toggles: timeframe, candle countdown, candle date/time, OHLC prices, open/close diff, funding value, funding countdown, P₂₄, V₂₄, level price mode selector, and chart patterns.
Theme tab with color swatches for chart background, candlestick colors, level colors, and the List Gradient switch.
Account tab showing email status, password change form, delivery channel selector, and trial/subscription status.

Step-by-step flow

Open Settings from the main navigation. The dialog opens on the last active tab.
On the Common tab, adjust chart padding if chart elements are clipped or too close to the edge.
On the Common tab, configure NATR timeframe and candle count if the default 14-candle setting does not match your trading style.
On the Common tab, configure the trades window if you use T_A or T_R in the list. Trades support 1m, 5m, 15m, and 1h windows and are independent from the chart timeframe buttons.
On the Common tab, configure Open Interest if you use the OI column. Enable the column, choose whether the cell shows current value or percentage change, choose the comparison period, and choose whether Value or Change uses base coin or quote coin.
On the Common tab, enable the Funding column if you want the list to show the current futures funding rate in column F.
On the Common tab, configure orderbook big volume type. Set it to "Auto" for dynamic threshold or "Custom" to enter a fixed volume number.
On the Common tab, enable Add absolute-value sorting if you want columns with negative values to support extra sort modes: descending by absolute value and ascending by absolute value.
On the Chart tab, enable the display options you need: timeframe, candle countdown, candle date/time, OHLC prices, open/close diff if you want to see the candle body change, funding value and countdown if you trade perpetuals and watch funding, P₂₄ and V₂₄ if you want 24-hour metrics on the chart, and set the level price mode to "always" if you want price labels next to levels at all times.
On the Chart tab, configure patterns if you want automatic pattern overlays. Enable detection, choose the timeframes, then adjust minimum score, maximum age, maximum distance, and confirmed-only mode.
On the Theme tab, click any color swatch to open the color picker and change that token. Changes apply immediately so you can preview the result before closing.
On the Theme tab, use the List → Gradient switch to enable or disable intensity-based coloring for list cells that use above/below price or positive/negative difference colors.
On the Account tab, enter or change your email, change your password, and choose whether alerts are delivered to Telegram or email.
On the Export tab, select the groups or individual fields you want to save and download the settings file.
On the Import tab, choose a settings export file, review the groups and fields found inside it, select what should be imported, and apply the import.
Close Settings. Changes to metric timeframes and thresholds will be reflected in the list columns on the next data update cycle.

Screenshots

Settings dialog showing all six tabs

The tab bar gives quick access to Common, Chart, Theme, Account, Export, and Import from one dialog.

Common tab — orderbook and NATR parameters

Frequently adjusted parameters include big volume type and NATR candle count.

Chart tab — display toggles and patterns

Chart info toggles, level price mode, and chart pattern settings are grouped here.

Theme tab — list colors and gradient switch

The List color block contains the Gradient switch and the color picker for each visual token.

Account tab — delivery channel and trial status

The account tab shows the delivery channel and the current trial or subscription state.

Export and Import tabs

Export and import use selectable groups and fields so only the chosen settings are transferred.

Operational notes

For signed-in users, settings are stored in your account on Watchlist.top servers and are available on any device or browser you sign in from. In anonymous demo, settings are local to the current browser.
Theme changes apply immediately and do not require saving. If you close the dialog without saving, any theme edits made during the session are still applied because the change happened live.
Metric timeframes and windows (NATR, P_Δ, P_avg, relative volume, r_BTC, trades, levels, trends) are configured on the Common tab, not the Chart tab.
The trades setting is a rolling window for T_A and T_R, not one of the chart timeframe buttons. Its available values are 1m, 5m, 15m, and 1h.
Open Interest settings affect only the OI column. The comparison period controls cell coloring and Change display; it does not change chart timeframes or other list metrics.
In Open Interest Value mode, the base-coin toggle changes only the displayed unit of the current position size. In Change mode, the base-coin toggle changes the calculation basis for the percentage: base OI or quote-value OI.
When OI is set to Change and no past comparison point exists yet, the OI cell can be empty even though the current value is available in the tooltip once data loads.
The Funding column switch affects only column F in the list. Chart funding value and countdown are separate toggles on the Chart tab.
The List Gradient switch affects columns that use configured list colors. For levels, trends, and order distance, the closest value to the current price receives the strongest color. For OI Value in quote coin, the largest visible value receives the strongest green intensity; OI Value in base coin is not gradient-colored.
Chart info and chart patterns are configured on the Chart tab. Metric calculation windows for the list still remain on the Common tab.
The Chart tab controls only what is drawn in the chart info block. If OHLC prices are hidden, the V volume value is hidden with them because it belongs to the same candle data line.
Add absolute-value sorting changes only the order of list rows. It does not change the numeric value displayed in the cell.
Settings export files use the Watchlist.top settings format and contain only the groups and fields you selected. They do not include account identity, password, subscription data, or delivered price notifications.
Settings import/export is unavailable in demo and trial access states. Use it from a subscribed account.
The global orderbook big volume setting applies to all coins unless a coin has a per-coin override set from the orderbook panel.
Confirmed levels parameters are advanced. The default values work for most use cases; change them only if you understand how they affect level detection.
The Account tab in Settings is the same as account management accessed from the main header. Changes made in either place are the same.

When to use it

Change metric calculation here: timeframes, candle count, thresholds for NATR, P_Δ, P_avg, relative volume, r_BTC, trends, and levels.
Adjust the visual theme and UI colors here.
Configure sound alerts, OS notifications, data caching, chart padding, and timezone here.

When not to rely on it

If you want to manage lists or coins — that is in the Lists section, not here.
If you have a problem with alert delivery or account access — see the Notifications or Account sections.

Typical interpretation mistakes

Treating cache toggles and OS notification permission as normal account settings — cache is a local optimization, browser notification permission is managed by the browser and is not part of account settings.
Changing the default drawing color and expecting already saved figures to update — existing figures keep their own color, only new ones use the new default.

Algorithms and formulas to understand

How settings sync between devices: settings are stored in your account and load automatically on any device after sign-in
How the confirmed levels parameters (count, allowed difference) affect the strictness of level detection
How the global big volume threshold and per-coin override interact when both are set
How chart info toggles decide which values are drawn above the candles
How Add absolute-value sorting expands the click cycle for columns that can contain negative values
How Open Interest display settings decide whether the OI cell shows current position size or selected-window percentage change
How the Open Interest base-coin toggle changes meaning between Value mode and Change mode
How list Funding and chart Funding are controlled by separate settings
How the List Gradient switch changes cell background intensity for price-distance columns, difference columns, and quote-coin OI Value
How chart pattern filters use score, age, distance, timeframe, and confirmation state
How settings transfer files include only selected groups and fields
