📋 Ticker Watchlist & Command Palette

Your watchlist is the fastest way to move around GammaBaba. Press Cmd/Ctrl-K to open the command palette, type any optionable US stock or ETF, and load its GEX heatmap in a keystroke. Star the names you trade most, group them into multiple watchlists, and reuse those same lists as filters in the Scanner and flow tools — so one curated set of tickers follows you across every view.

Press Cmd-K (macOS) or Ctrl-K (Windows/Linux) anywhere in the app to open the symbol search. Start typing a symbol or company name and the list filters live, showing the last price and intraday percentage change for each match. Use the arrow keys to highlight a result and press Enter to load it — no mouse required.

• All Symbols — Search the full universe of optionable US stocks and ETFs.
• Default — The built-in shortlist of widely traded names to get you started.
• Watchlist — Filter the palette down to just your saved tickers.

Click the ★ beside any symbol in the palette to add it to a watchlist, or click it again to remove it. You can keep multiple watchlists — for example one for index ETFs, one for earnings plays, and one for the names you trade daily — and switch between them from the tabs at the top of the palette.

You can also build your watchlist while you work. When you type a ticker in the main top bar and press Enter, it loads on the heatmap and is automatically saved to your active watchlist — so the names you research naturally accumulate in one place.

Click any ticker in the sidebar watchlist to load its GEX heatmap. The switch is instant if the data is already cached. Hover over a row and click ✕ to remove it from the list.

Drag any ticker row to rearrange your watchlist. Your custom order is saved to your account and persists across sessions. This lets you keep your most-watched tickers at the top.

The two most important columns in the sidebar are K1 and K2 — the distance from the current spot price to the 1st and 2nd King Strikes:

King Distance % = (King Strike − Spot Price) / Spot Price × 100

• ▲ Blue (positive) — King Strike is above the current price.
• ▼ Red (negative) — King Strike is below the current price.
• ● Near 0% — Price is right at the King Strike. Maximum pinning tendency in positive GEX environments.

K1 is the primary (strongest) King Strike. K2 is the second-strongest. Together they show the two biggest GEX concentrations for each ticker.

Click the column headers to cycle through sort modes:

• Symbol — Alphabetical A→Z or Z→A.
• K1 / K2 — Sorted by absolute proximity to the King. Blue entries grouped first, then red. Within each group, closer = higher in the list.
• Third click on any header resets back to your custom drag-and-drop order.

Even when you're viewing one ticker, the rest of your watchlist keeps updating quietly in the background:

• Every ticker on the list refreshes on the same schedule you set for the active view — so K1 / K2 stay current for the whole list.
• When you click another ticker, the most recent cached snapshot loads instantly while a fresh one is fetched.

Click the 📷 button at the top of the sidebar to export your watchlist as a PNG image. The exported image includes all tickers with their K1 and K2 values — useful for sharing or journaling.

Your watchlists are saved to your account so they follow you across reloads, browser restarts, and devices. SPY is always kept as a fallback default.
