Hi,
Is there a quick internal or external way to add symbols quickly into an IB TWS Watchlist? I want to ideally be able to do something similar to a Tradestation quote window but some other easy method would be appreciated.
Basically I want to add or remove one or more symbols based on what I see on my intraday scanner.
Cheers,
iq

If you use the IB Scanner, you could simply copy/paste the symbols. Or enter a symbol and hit shift+enter.
