I am able to create a watchlist and add stock symbols to my watchlist successfully. Through my C# code I am also able to retrieve my watchlist as expected, so creating and accessing is working 100% reliably. But when I goto my live account, I don’t see the watchlist, i always see blank watchlist and option to add stock symbol. Any clue? -DM ---

I am not even seeing the Watchlist widget on my dashboard, but am able to POST(create) and GET my Watchlist. I think I clicked every link, any idea where it might be? ---

@mehtadharmesh, use the watchlist name **Primary Watchlist**. Try something like this snippet, which should add the symbol ‘AAPL’ to your browser’s watchlist: ``` t0 = 'AAPL' wl = api.get_watchlist_by_name(watchlist_name='Primary Watchlist') id = wl._raw['id'] wl = api.add_to_watchlist(watchlist_id=id, symbol=sym) ``` Looking at the url that the browser uses, the page doesn’t display all watchlists. Instead it calls an internal api url and uses the ‘get\_watchilst\_by\_name’ function and passes an HTML value of **Primary%20Watchlist**. `https://app.alpaca.markets/internal/accounts//watchlists:by_name?name=Primary%20Watchlist` ---

does it mean, I can’t have more than one watch list? Watch list name is hardcoded to “Primary Watchlist”, user can’t give other name? -DM ---

It doesn’t appear that the browser supports more than this single, hard-coded watch list named ‘Primary Watchlist’, unfortunately. ---

Even though I add stock symbols to the watchlist on the browser, I am not able to pull them from the v2 watchlist API…Any idea whats going on? ---

Hi MadTrader What response do you receive when you submit a request to retrieve all watchlists? Rahul
