The **FLIP App** offers two types of watchlists: **"My Watchlist"** and **"Preset Watchlist”**
The **"My Watchlist"** tab displays a list of all the watchlists that you have *Created* or *Saved*. You can *create* a maximum of **25 Watchlists**, and each watchlist can contain up to "**50 securities"**.
The **"Preset Watchlist"** tab displays a selection of watchlists created by the platform. These Preset watchlists include a variety of *Indices* and *lists of Securities* forming part of these Indices. You can choose up to **"10 Watchlists"** from the available selection of 15 at any given time.

### Using Color Tags in Watchlist

* **Red** – Stocks you plan to **sell**
* Other colours – Define your own categories (e.g., “Long-Term Hold,” “High Risk,” “Track Later”)
Once tagged, you don’t need to search through individual watchlists. Simply open the **Colour Watchlist** (e.g., Green or Red) to instantly see all stocks with that tag across every watchlist you maintain.
**Why use Colour Tags?**
* **Save Time** – View all tagged stocks in one place
