To delete a custom symbol list from your watchlist in TradingView, locate the dropdown box at the top of the watchlist section, hover your mouse over the title of the specific list you wish to remove, and then click the "X" button that appears.
TradingView's watchlist feature allows users to create and manage various lists of symbols (stocks, cryptos, etc.) for easy tracking. While you cannot typically delete the main, default watchlist itself, you can easily remove custom symbol lists you have created.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the provided information:
Steps to Delete a Custom Symbol List
Follow these simple steps to remove a custom symbol list from your TradingView watchlist panel:
- Open the Watchlist Panel: Ensure your watchlist panel is open on the TradingView platform.
- Access the Dropdown: Look for the dropdown box, usually located at the very top of the watchlist section. This dropdown allows you to switch between your different custom symbol lists. Click on it.
- Hover Over the List Title: In the list of your custom symbol lists shown in the dropdown menu, find the title of the list you want to delete. Hover your mouse cursor over this title.
- Click the Delete "X": As you hover over the list title, a small "X" button will appear next to it. Click this "X" button to delete the custom symbol list.
Note: This action specifically removes the custom list you created. It does not affect the main, default watchlist or other custom lists.
What About Flagged Lists?
The reference also mentions a specific behavior for "flagged lists":
- A flagged list is automatically deleted once all its content (i.e., all the symbols within that list) is cleared out.
This means if you have a list created by flagging symbols, clearing all the symbols from that specific list will cause the list itself to disappear automatically.
Understanding how to manage your custom symbol lists helps keep your TradingView workspace organized and focused on the assets most important to you.
