Settings

Settings is a single dialog with several tabs. Each tab groups a different layer of the product: global behavior, metric parameters and timeframes (Common); ready-made scenario presets (Presets); chart display options and pattern detection (Chart); desktop terminal integrations (Integrations); 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; list-over-charts behavior; whether the notification dialog is shown in grid/single modes; single-coin browser window size; charts by sorted list paging buttons; sound selector, Voice option, voice speed, and volume; OS notifications toggle; in-app notification toggle; available timeframes selector (which TF buttons appear in the chart); sort type order; scoring profiles; 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); and changes tracking toggles.
How the Common tab navigation works: after analyzed intervals, a sticky row of buttons jumps directly to the settings block for each list parameter, such as round numbers, levels, trends, large orders, OI, Funding, NATR, V_R, P_Δ/P_avg, r_BTC, and T_A/T_R.
How Types and order of sortings works: the enabled row defines the order of sort modes when you repeatedly click a sortable list column. Single click moves a mode to the right in that order; double click moves a mode between enabled and disabled.
What the Scoring block contains: a switch, built-in scenario profiles, custom profiles, profile descriptions, recommended parameters, component weights, a link to the matching guide page for built-in profiles, and an Apply profile button that overwrites current settings with profile recommendations.
What the Presets tab contains: ready-made settings packs for scenarios from the guide, such as momentum scalping, level breakout, reaction from a level or density, OI/Funding overheat, and chart pattern search. Applying a preset overwrites the parameters included in that preset and turns off unrelated options so the resulting setup matches the scenario.
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 Integrations tab contains on desktop: opening a selected symbol in an external terminal. Tiger.Trade uses a local signal server and a linking group; MetaScalp uses a local API and an optional binding number; Vataga opens the exchange symbol through its terminal integration when the terminal is running and app integration is enabled.
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.

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 whether the list can appear over charts, whether the notification dialog opens in grid/single modes, the single-coin window size, and whether the floating chart paging buttons are shown in charts by sorted list mode.
On the Common tab, use Types and order of sortings to decide which sort modes are available and in what order repeated clicks on a column header cycle through them.
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, enable Scoring if you want a Score column. Choose a built-in profile or create a custom one. For a built-in profile, open its guide page if needed, apply the profile if you want recommended settings, then save settings.
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, use the sticky parameter buttons after analyzed intervals to jump to the block you need without scrolling through every metric setting manually.
On the Presets tab, choose a trading scenario, review the list of settings that will be applied, open the linked guide page if needed, and apply the preset. After applying, review the forms and save the settings to the account.
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 desktop, use the Integrations tab if you want list and chart buttons to open the selected exchange ticker in Tiger.Trade, MetaScalp, or Vataga. For Tiger.Trade, choose the linking group; for MetaScalp, optionally enter a binding number; for Vataga, enable app integration in the terminal.
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 the main tabs

The tab bar gives quick access to Common, Presets, Chart, Integrations on desktop, 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.
The OS notifications toggle controls native browser or Android notifications. The in-app notifications toggle controls toast cards inside the app window; it is enabled by default and is separate from Telegram/email delivery.
Presets are scenario shortcuts, not a separate strategy engine. Applying a preset changes the listed settings and turns off unrelated options so the screen reflects that scenario. In demo states the app shows the standard access warning instead of applying the preset.
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.
Scoring is configured on the Common tab. It is separate from the Presets tab: presets configure scenario settings, while scoring profiles rank coins by weighted metrics.
Applying a built-in scoring profile overwrites the current metric settings listed in that profile. It does not automatically save to the account until you click Save.
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 Integrations tab is desktop-oriented. The terminal must be running locally, and the local server or API must be enabled where the selected terminal requires it. The app sends the exchange ticker as it is represented on the exchange, for example OKX futures symbols use the exchange format.
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.
Types and order of sortings changes only the order of list rows. It does not change the numeric value displayed in the cell.
The single-coin window size setting controls the browser window opened by the single-coin action. Browser and operating-system limits can still cap the actual window size.
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.
The sound selector controls local in-app alert playback. If Voice is selected, the browser or device speech engine speaks alert text instead of playing a short sound. Voice, speed, and volume are local playback settings and do not change Telegram/email delivery.
Applying a profile is a one-time setup action, not a frozen copy of all metric values. After applying it, any later change to a participating metric setting changes what the profile reads for future Score calculations.
A custom scoring profile stores its component list, weights, selected component timeframes, and scoring-only distance settings. Shared metric settings such as V_R, NATR, levels, trends, and orderbook behavior still come from the current Settings values.

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.
Configure scoring profiles and charts by sorted list helper controls here.
Apply presets here when you want the settings to match one of the guide trading scenarios without filling every field manually.
Configure desktop terminal integrations here when you want list or chart actions to open the selected symbol in Tiger.Trade, MetaScalp, or Vataga.
Adjust the visual theme and UI colors here.
Configure sound alerts, OS notifications, in-app notifications, 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 OS notification permission as a normal account setting — 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.

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 charts by sorted list paging buttons are shown and positioned independently from the ordinary chart grid
How settings transfer files include only selected groups and fields
