How to Create a Stock Watchlist (Save & Reload Your Tickers)

The short answer

Wheel Strategy Options doesn't have a separate "stock watchlist" page. Instead, you add ticker pills to the screener search bar, then Save Screener to store that list (with or without filters). Next time, pick it from the Saved Screeners dropdown — your tickers and filter setup reload together.

Not the Contract Watchlist. The Contract Watchlist saves individual option contracts you want to track. This guide is about saving a list of stocks you wheel regularly.

Where to add stocks

Open the Covered Call screener or Cash Secured Put screener. At the top of the page you'll see:

• Saved Screeners dropdown (left) — load a configuration you've saved before
• Ticker search bar (center) — type symbols; each one appears as a blue pill you can remove with the ×

Type a symbol and press Enter (or comma) to add it. Repeat for every stock in your wheel universe — e.g., META, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA.

You can also open the omnisearch overlay (Cmd/Ctrl+K) to search and add tickers with autocomplete.

Two ways to save

Option A — Stocks only (simple watchlist)

Best when you want a fixed list of names and will change filters each session.

1. Add your tickers as pills (nothing else required).
2. Click Save Screener (bottom-left of the filter bar).
3. Name it something memorable — e.g., "My Wheel Stocks" or "Tech Watchlist".
4. Sign in if prompted (saving requires an account; Pro unlocks unlimited saved screeners).

The saved screener stores only your tickers. When you load it, the screener runs against just those symbols with whatever default or preset filters are active.

Option B — Stocks + filter configuration (full playbook)

Best when you run the same screen every week — same delta, DTE, cushion, etc.

1. Add your tickers as pills.
2. Set filters (or apply a preset), e.g. Cushion > 0% and Expiration 0–5 days.
3. Click Save Screener and name it — e.g., "Weekly CC — Tech List".
4. Load it later from the Saved Screeners dropdown.

Everything reloads together: tickers, filter pills, and sort order. Pro and Ultra members can also turn on email alerts when new contracts match a saved screen.

Load a saved watchlist

1. Open either screener.
2. Click the Saved Screeners dropdown (document icon, top-left).
3. Select your saved name — tickers and filters populate instantly.
4. Results refresh for only those stocks.

Manage, rename, or delete saved screeners anytime from My Saved Screeners in the More menu (/saved-screeners).

Example workflows

Sunday wheel sweep — stocks only

• Save tickers: AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN.
• Each Sunday: load "Wheel Stocks", apply the Earnings Safe preset, sort by Rating.

Weekly income — stocks + filters

• Save tickers + Cushion > 0% + DTE 0–5 days + Delta 0.20–0.30.
• Load every Monday; pick the top contracts from your list.

Covered calls on shares you own

• Save just the tickers you hold (e.g., TSLA, META).
• Switch to the CC screener, load the list, set Moneyness so strikes stay above your cost basis.

Tips

• Start small. Five to ten liquid names beat a 50-ticker list you never review.
• One list per strategy. Separate CSP and CC watchlists if you use different filters.
• Update in place. Load a saved screener, add or remove tickers, then save again (overwrite or save as a new name).
• Free vs Pro. You can add tickers and screen without Pro. Saving and reloading configurations — plus email alerts — requires Pro or Ultra. See Pricing.
