Why limit Watchlist when it can help to quickly filter top gainers & top losers?

Feature Request

As of now, Fyers have a limit of 52 stocks per watchlist this restricts a trader to cherry pick stocks like Top Gainers and Top Losers. Fyers can allow traders to create a watchlist with 100 or more stocks (max 500). And also add default watchlists like Nifty100, Nifty250, Nifty500.

The advantage of doing this is that the other brokers also have around 50 stocks per watchlist limitations but Zerodha has recently increased it to 100. But Zerodha does not allow sorting on the basis of price or % change, making it difficult to quickly filter top gainers and top losers from the watchlist.

Knowing SEBI will bring strict policies for F&O trading, I feel traders will quickly move towards Stocks Equity Intraday and Swing Trading. And what better than Fyers being the first broker to offer traders with a bigger watchlist to help them filter stocks by price, price changed, % change, etc. in the watchlist itself. This can be an edge over other brokers.

It will be great for Fyers to be the first broker to offer 100+ stocks (maybe upto 500) per watchlist. And it's not even a difficult task to implement. Just increase the limit and add some default Watchlists. Can be done in a single sprint without affecting any feature.

Additionally, Fyers can add more columns to the watchlist like %change in 5mins, %change in 15 mins, etc. just like TradingView screener has. This is to make sure a trader does not have to leave Fyers at all. Although, Fyers provide seemless integration with TradingView and maybe other ALGO platforms, but its always better to hold back traders on the broking terminal and provide features that can ease the users trading journey without having to jumping from one platform to the other.
