4. Manage watchlists, set watchlist alerts and scan the market
ForecastCity · AI Trading Assistant guide

You do not need to open ten charts one by one to find oversold setups. Tell AI Trading Assistant what you want to track in your own voice or in plain words. Working with 4CastMachine AI, it makes watchlist edits, watchlist alerts and 300-symbol market scans simple, fast and accurate.

Example: Click Speak and say: "Create a Top Metals list with XAUUSD and XAGUSD. Alert me on Forex Majors when 4h RSI 14 drops below 30."

  1. Watchlist change card (Create / Edit · Undo): Previews your new or edited watchlist before saving, with a 10-minute Undo button.

  2. Watchlist-wide alert condition sentence: Shows the exact rule that will watch every symbol in your chosen list.

  3. Confirm watchlist alert across all symbols: Click Confirm to save the alert for every current and future symbol in that list.

How do I create and edit watchlists by voice or text?

The Assistant checks your symbol names against ForecastCity's catalog. It converts aliases like BTCUSDT to BTCUSD and tells you if a symbol is already in your list:

  • Create a new watchlist: Say "Create a list named Top Metals and Energy with XAUUSD, XAGUSD, USOIL and UKOIL". You can group spot gold (XAUUSD) and key commodities in seconds.

  • Add or remove symbols in watchlists and Favourites: Say "Add BTCUSD and ETHUSD to my Crypto list" or "Remove EURGBP from Majors". You can also say "Add gold to Favourites."

  • Rename and list your watchlists: Say "Rename my Swing Ideas list to Weekly Watch". Or ask "Which watchlists do I have and how many symbols are in each?"

How do I set one reusable alert across an entire watchlist?

You can attach any price-free rule, such as an indicator, volume spike or candle pattern, to a whole watchlist. The alert follows your list and covers any symbol you add later:

  • Oscillator alert across a whole watchlist: Say "Set a 4h Oversold alert on my Forex Majors list when 4h RSI 14 drops below 30". One rule watches every major currency pair on candle close.

  • Candlestick pattern and volume alert across a watchlist: Say "Alert me on my Crypto list when a D engulfing-bullish candle closes with 1.5x volume". You can catch a healthy candle breakout across all your coins at once.

How do I scan the market and save scans to Hotlists?

The market scanner checks your rule on the last closed candle. It scans your watchlists or active markets (Forex, Cryptos, Commodities and Indices, up to 300 symbols):

  • Scan a market category: Say "Scan Forex on 4h where price is above EMA 200 and RSI 14 is below 35". You can also compare the move against the daily Average True Range (ATR).

  • Scan your own watchlists with multiple conditions: Say "Scan my Crypto and Majors lists on D for a bullish Hammer or a 2% gain."

  • Save a scan to Hotlists or turn matches into a watchlist: Say "Save this scan as Daily Pullback" to pin it under Hotlists in the watchlist panel. Or say "Save the matched symbols as a new watchlist."

  2. Save the scan confirmation card: Saves your scan under Hotlists in the watchlist panel so you can refresh it any time.

  3. Turn scan matches into a watchlist card: Click Confirm to build a new watchlist from the matched symbols.
