The Watchlist Symbols trigger node lets you dynamically fetch symbols from a predefined or user-defined watchlist when your automation runs. You can then use those symbols for additional trigger checks or pass them to a Place order action.

How does the Watchlist Symbols trigger work?

1. Add the Watchlist Symbols trigger node to your automation.
2. Select the required Watchlist Type and watchlist, configure sorting if needed, and click Apply.
3. Connect the node to the next step in your automation.
4. To place orders in the dynamically fetched symbols, connect the flow to a Place order action and select Place simple order as the Order type.
5. In the Symbol field of the Place simple order node, use the symbol output from the Watchlist Symbols node.

Example

Suppose you select a user-defined watchlist such as My Swing Trades.

When the automation reaches the Watchlist Symbols node, it fetches the symbols from that watchlist and passes them to the next step in the workflow.

You can then:

• Run additional trigger checks on the fetched symbols, such as price-based conditions, VWAP, moving average crossovers, RSI, MACD, or other technical indicator-based conditions.
• If no additional trigger check is required, pass the fetched symbols directly to a Place simple order action.

This allows you to build an automation around an entire watchlist instead of selecting individual symbols while creating the workflow.

What if I update my watchlist?

The Watchlist symbols node fetches symbols from the watchlist selected in its configuration when the node is executed. Make sure the required symbols are available in that watchlist before the automation reaches this step.
