Increase Watchlist Limits & Add Auto-Updating NIFTY F&O List

Hi Team,

I was recently trying to create a complete NSE Cash Stocks watchlist in Fyers by splitting them across multiple lists. Here’s what I experienced:

  • I created *5 watchlists with 200 stocks each (total 1000 stocks).

*When I tried to import the 6th watchlist with 200 stocks, I got an error: *“Your watchlist could not be saved.”

  • I noticed I can still create new watchlists, but they only allow me to add *25–27 stocks and then stop.

It looks like there’s a cap of 5 watchlists × 200 stocks (1000 stocks max).

For analysis, I usually go through NSE Equity watchlists every 5–6 months and would ideally like:

15 watchlists × 200 stocks each → For broader analysis & coverage.

10 watchlists × 100 stocks each → For tracking, filtering, and categorizing (e.g., “Entry Zone” watchlist for stocks ready in 1 week, “Eyes” watchlist for stocks to monitor for 1–2 months, Intraday ideas, Positional, Investment, etc.).

:backhand_index_pointing_right: This kind of categorization makes it much easier for active traders and investors to organize scripts based on purpose.

My requests/suggestions:

  1. Please remove or increase the cap on number of 200-stock watchlists so we can add more than 1000 stocks in total.

  2. Please add a NIFTY F&O Equity auto-updating watchlist — one that updates automatically whenever NSE changes the F&O list. This will save a lot of time for traders who rely on F&O scripts.

Thanks a lot for continuously improving the platform :folded_hands:

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

  1. We don’t have any limit on the number of watchlist.
  2. Regarding the number of stocks in a watchlist - The team is working to increase the limit from the existing 200.
  3. Also, we are working on creating more pre defined watchlist which will include F&O stocks list (updated daily)

Both additions will be made available by early next week.
Having said that, in case you face issue in adding more watchlist like you mentioned above, kindly share your contact details, and we will reach out to you and resolve the same.
