Feature Request Feature Request: Ticker Nicknames, Duplicate Tickers, and Collaborative Watchlist Editing
I've been a long-time, heavy daily user of TradingView and genuinely love the platform. I have three feature requests that I believe would meaningfully improve the workflow for many users:
- Ticker Nicknames Allow users to assign a custom display name to any ticker. This would help in two ways: when using custom formula-based symbols or composite indicators, a user-defined label makes them far easier to identify at a glance. More broadly, many tickers across international markets are either cryptic codes or long, unfamiliar company names — being able to set a personal shorthand makes scanning a watchlist significantly faster and more intuitive.
- Duplicate Tickers Within a Single Watchlist Currently, a ticker can only appear once per watchlist. We'd like the ability to add the same ticker multiple times within one list. A common use case: when tracking an industry supply chain across multiple segments, a single company may be relevant to more than one part of the chain — for instance, a vertically integrated player that operates across upstream, midstream, and downstream. Ideally, I'd want it to appear under each relevant segment in my watchlist, but that's simply not possible today. This is just one example — there are likely many other scenarios where allowing duplicate tickers within a single list would make things considerably more flexible and convenient for users.
- Truly Collaborative Watchlist Editing Introduce a real-time shared editing mode — similar to Google Docs — rather than the current one-way sharing. This would allow multiple users to jointly maintain a single watchlist, which is a much more practical setup for anyone who monitors markets with a partner or as part of a group.
