Introducing new marketwatch on Kite app

As traders and investors, we tend to keep adding instruments to marketwatch whenever something catches our attention. Over time, this can turn into a long list of stocks, indices, and contracts that becomes harder to manage. Even if you split them across multiple watchlists, finding the instrument you need at the right moment can still take time.

Last year, we redesigned marketwatch on the Kite web to make it easier to organise and track instruments. We’ve now brought the same experience to the Kite mobile app.

The new marketwatch adds several improvements, including higher watchlist capacity, custom grouping of instruments, easier navigation, and ready-made watchlists to quickly track different market segments.

If you’d like to see how everything works, watch the walkthrough below.

Track more instruments with higher watchlist limits

MarketWatch now supports significantly larger watchlists.

You can create up to 25 watchlists, and each watchlist can hold up to 250 instruments, allowing you to track far more stocks, indices, derivatives, or ETFs than before.

Navigation has also been improved. You can scroll seamlessly across watchlists, and the list loops back to the beginning once you reach the end. Jumping between watchlists is also easier through the My Watchlists section.

Small usability improvements make the experience smoother as well. When you add a new instrument, the list automatically scrolls to show where it has been added.

Organise instruments using custom groups

A major addition to marketwatch is custom grouping.

Groups allow you to organise instruments within the same watchlist based on themes that make sense for you. For example, you could separate banking stocks from IT stocks, keep short-term trading ideas apart from long-term investments, or group instruments by strategies or sectors.

You can create multiple groups inside a watchlist, name them however you prefer, and assign colours to make them easier to identify at a glance.

Groups can also be expanded or collapsed to reduce clutter when you’re focusing on a specific set of instruments.

Instruments can be moved between groups simply by dragging and dropping them, and groups themselves can be reordered or even moved across watchlists.

Sorting options are available within groups, allowing instruments to be arranged by price, percentage change, alphabetically, or by exchange.

Discover ready-made watchlists

Marketwatch is now divided into two sections:

My Watchlists: watchlists you create and manage

Discover: ready-made watchlists curated for different market segments

The Discover section includes commonly tracked groups such as:

• Nifty 50 stocks
• Sector indices like Auto or Bank
• Global indices
• F&O stocks
• ETFs and other market segments

You can add any of these watchlists to your marketwatch instantly.

Some of these are pre-built watchlists that update automatically. For example, if you add the Nifty 50 watchlist, it stays updated whenever stocks enter or exit the index.

If you customise one of these watchlists by adding or removing instruments, it stops updating automatically and behaves like a normal watchlist that you fully control.
