    What the watchlist cleaner fixes

    How to import the cleaned watchlist into TradingView

    1. Download the cleaned file. If your list was split, download every file.
    2. In TradingView, open the watchlist panel on the right of the chart.
    3. Click the watchlist menu (⋮) and choose Import list.
    4. Select your .txt file. Repeat for each part if you have more than one.

    TradingView watchlist file format

    A TradingView watchlist is a plain .txt file with one symbol per line, or all on one line separated by commas. Optional section headers start with three hashes, like ###Crypto. The cleaner outputs either layout: one per line is easier to read, and comma-separated matches what TradingView itself exports.

    FAQ

    How many symbols can a TradingView watchlist hold?
    TradingView allows up to 1,000 symbols per watchlist. If your list is longer, the cleaner splits it into several files of up to 1,000 symbols each, and you import each one as a separate watchlist.
    Why does my TradingView watchlist import fail or skip symbols?
    The usual causes are symbols without an exchange prefix, characters TradingView can't read (such as smart quotes copied from a spreadsheet), more than 1,000 symbols in one file, or tickers that don't exist on the exchange you named. The cleaner fixes formatting automatically and flags the rest.
    How do I remove duplicates from a TradingView watchlist?
    Paste the list or upload the .txt file above. Duplicates are removed by full symbol, so the same ticker on two different exchanges is kept, while true repeats are dropped. Then download the cleaned file and import it.
    Is my watchlist uploaded anywhere?
    No. The cleaner runs entirely in your browser. Your watchlist is never sent to a server.
    Can I keep my watchlist sections?
    Yes. Section headers such as ###Crypto are kept by default. You can also remove them, or regroup the list into one section per exchange.
    What format does a TradingView watchlist file use?
    A plain text file with one symbol per line or comma-separated, each written as EXCHANGE:TICKER, with optional ### section headers.
