Watchlists should reflect conviction levels, not just symbols. Here is how the new conviction scoring system helps you separate your 'watching' from your 'ready to act'.
A standard watchlist treats every symbol the same — a flat list with no sense of which names you're mildly curious about and which ones you're actually convinced of. Conviction Watchlist fixes that by attaching a conviction score to every stock you track, so the list itself reflects how strongly you actually feel about each position.
How scoring works
Each stock on your Conviction Watchlist gets a score built from a mix of your own inputs — thesis notes, target price, and a manual conviction rating — combined with objective signals like how the stock has performed against your original thesis since you added it. The result isn't just "do I like this stock," it's "how well has my thesis actually held up so far," which is a much more honest and useful number.
Why this matters
Most watchlists quietly become graveyards — dozens of tickers added months ago for reasons you've since forgotten, sitting alongside your highest-conviction ideas with no way to tell them apart at a glance. Conviction scoring solves that by surfacing your strongest ideas automatically, so when you open the app you see what you actually believe in right now, not just what you clicked "add" on at some point in the past.
You can find Conviction Watchlist under the Conviction tab in the main navigation — set an initial score when you add a symbol, and update it any time your thesis changes.
