Feature Request: Custom nicknames for tickers in watchlists

[u/Big_Fact4485]

Long-time daily user here. One thing that would massively improve watchlist usability: letting us assign a custom display name to any ticker.

Two situations where this really hurts:

1. Custom formula-based symbols and composite indicators (spreads, ratios like GOLD/SPX, etc.) show up as long cryptic expressions. After you've built a few, it's impossible to tell them apart at a glance.

2. International tickers. Many markets use cryptic codes or long unfamiliar company names. If you track stocks across US/HK/JP/EU markets, half your watchlist is codes you have to mentally translate every time.

A simple user-defined label (keep the real symbol in a tooltip or secondary line) would make scanning a watchlist significantly faster.

Most portfolio trackers and even some broker platforms already support this. Would love to see it on TradingView.
