How do I build my first list?

  1. Open App Settings from the top-right menu

  2. Click New List and choose Custom

  3. Select your market (Binance or Bybit, Spot or Futures)

  4. Name the list

  5. Go to the Timeframes tab — add the timeframes you want to analyze (enter values in minutes: 1h = 60, 4h = 240, 1D = 1440)

  6. Set your chart history depth (default: 6,000 closes — leave this unless you have a reason to change it)

  7. Go to the Tickers tab — browse the full asset list, select what you want, and use the arrow buttons to move assets into your list

  8. Hit Create

→ Tips:

  • Use the volume and group filters to narrow down the asset list quickly

  • Active (already added) assets are outlined in white

→ See Watchlists for a full guide including timeframe configuration and managing existing lists

What are Default lists?

Default lists are ready-made watchlist templates that come pre-loaded with a curated set of assets and timeframes, designed around common trading styles. Instead of building from scratch, you pick a template and you're ready to go.

Available templates expand with your subscription level. On BASIC you get 2; PRO gives you access to 9.

→ See "What types of default list templates are available?" below for the full breakdown

What types of default list templates are available?

BASIC plan:

  • default — 18 timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 45m, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 10h, 12h, 18h, 1D, 2D, 3D), 200 candle history, 500+ assets

  • scalp — 8 timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h), 200 candle history, 500+ assets

SMART plan (includes BASIC templates, plus):

  • default — 24 timeframes, 2,000 candle history, 500+ assets

  • top_volume — 12 timeframes, 2,000 candle history, top 200 assets by volume

  • LTF — 6 low timeframes (1m–30m), 2,000 candle history, 500+ assets

  • MTF — 7 mid timeframes (1m, 45m, 1h, 90m, 2h, 3h, 4h), 2,000 candle history, 500+ assets

  • HTF — 7 high timeframes (1m, 5h–1D), 2,000 candle history, 500+ assets

PRO plan (includes all above, plus):

  • default — 18 timeframes (1m through 3D), 6,000 candle history, 500+ assets

  • top_volume — 18 timeframes, 6,000 candle history, top 200 assets by volume

If you're not sure where to start, default at your plan level is the right pick. top_volume is a good choice if you want to focus on the most liquid, actively traded assets.

How do I add newly listed assets to my list?

New assets get listed on exchanges regularly. If your list was built a few weeks ago, it's already missing them — and that means your screener and indicators aren't showing you the full picture.

To add new listings:

  1. Open App Settings and go to List Settings for your active list

  2. In the Tickers tab, the master list on the left reflects the latest available assets

  3. Any asset not already in your list will appear there — select it and use the arrow button to move it in

  4. Hit Save

Make this a regular habit — especially in crypto, where new assets can move significantly in their first weeks of trading.

Can I have multiple lists for different strategies?

Yes — and it's strongly recommended if you trade across different styles or timeframes.

Each list is completely independent: its own assets, its own timeframes, its own history depth. The screener, ADP, Trend Dominance, and Birch Matrix all update based on whichever list is currently active.

Practical examples:

  • One list for scalping (1m, 5m, 15m, top 50 assets by volume)

  • One list for swing trading (4h, 12h, 1D, broader asset set)

  • One list for sector analysis (DeFi tokens, Layer 2s, etc.)

Keeping these separate means your indicators always reflect the specific market you're focused on — rather than a blended average that doesn't serve any strategy well.

The number of custom lists available depends on your plan: 1 on SMART, 4 on PRO, unlimited on PREMIUM.
