Getting Started & Pinning to Chrome
Installing Groww Watchlist Pro takes just a few seconds from the Chrome Web Store. Once added to Chrome, pinning the extension to your browser toolbar ensures quick, seamless access whenever you are analyzing charts.
- Click Add to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store listing.
- Click the Puzzle icon in Chrome's top right toolbar.
- Find Groww Watchlist Pro and click the Pin icon so it turns blue.

The watchlist icon sits seamlessly right on Groww's chart toolbar dock.
Hit Alt + W anytime on Groww to slide the watchlist panel in and out.
The In-Page Docked Panel
Groww Watchlist Pro injects an ultra-smooth, native-feeling sidepanel directly into Groww's chart canvas (at groww.in/charts/* and groww.in/terminal).
Mutual Exclusivity: When you open Groww's native right drawer (for orders or alerts), Groww Watchlist Pro automatically tucks away so it never overlaps or blocks your order execution. Closing the native drawer immediately restores your watchlist panel.
Creating & Managing Unlimited Watchlists
Unlike standard Groww which caps custom watchlists to 30 stocks each, Groww Watchlist Pro lets you create unlimited watchlists, each holding 1,800+ stocks.
- Create a Watchlist: In the Watchlists Overview view, click the + New button in the top bar. Give your list a name (e.g. "Weekly Breakouts", "Nifty IT Momentum") and hit Enter.
- Add Stocks from Inside Watchlist: Open any watchlist and click + Add Stock. Search for any NSE or BSE ticker symbol with live suggestions.
- 3-Dot Options Menu: Click (⋮) on any watchlist row to Rename, Export (CSV/TXT), or Delete.
- Draggable Floating Button: A floating "+ Add" button stays right over your chart canvas. Click, hold, and drag it anywhere. Click without holding to open the multi-select Add to Watchlist dialog.
The Watchlist Quick-Switcher Dropdown
You never need to click "Back" to navigate between your watchlists. The watchlist title in the header is a fast dropdown switcher:
- Click the Watchlist Title at the top of the side panel.
- The dropdown menu smoothly expands, showing all your watchlists with their stock counts and an active checkmark.
- If you have more than 6 watchlists, an instant search bar automatically appears at the top of the menu so you can filter lists by name.
- Click any list or hit ↓/Enter to switch immediately. Press Esc anytime to close.
Keyboard Navigation Masterclass
Active trading is all about momentum and speed. With 4-way keyboard navigation, your hands never need to leave the keyboard to scan setups:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↓ | Move to next stock in the active list & load chart |
| ↑ | Move to previous stock & load chart |
| → | Jump to the next watchlist |
| ← | Jump to the previous watchlist |

Native TradingView In-Chart Symbol Switching
When you press ↓ or ↑, Groww Watchlist Pro calls TradingView's internal chart API (setSymbol). Your technical drawings, moving averages, indicators, and timeframes remain completely untouched while the ticker updates instantly.
1-Click Chartink Screener Auto-Sync
Chartink is India's most popular stock screener. Groww Watchlist Pro automatically integrates directly with Chartink:
- Open any screener on Chartink.com.
- Notice the prominent emerald "Import to Watchlist" button injected into the toolbar above the scan results table.
- Click it: all results (across all pagination pages) are instantly bundled into a new Groww watchlist titled with the screener's name!
- Live Re-Sync: In Groww, open your watchlists list. Notice the circular Re-Sync icon next to every Chartink-imported watchlist. Click it anytime to update today's scan results in 1 click!
60+ Indian Index Routing
On Groww, index charts use a different URL structure (/charts/indices/...) compared to equities (/charts/stocks/...).
Groww Watchlist Pro contains an internal dictionary of 60+ Indian broad and sectoral indices. Adding any of these to your watchlist automatically opens the authentic Groww index chart:
groww.in/charts/indices/nifty
groww.in/charts/indices/bank-nifty
groww.in/charts/indices/fin-nifty
groww.in/charts/indices/nifty-it
groww.in/charts/indices/midcpnifty
groww.in/charts/indices/sensex
Also supports Auto, FMCG, Pharma, Metal, PSU Bank, Realty, Energy, Commodities, and 50+ sectoral indices automatically.
Color Tags & Trade Notes
Organize your setups with visual color markings and personal trade notes that stay saved across browser restarts:
- Right-Click Any Stock: Right-click on any stock row in the panel to open the context actions menu.
- Color Flags: Pick from 6 vibrant color flags (Blue, Emerald, Amber, Violet, Rose, Slate) to mark breakouts, earnings, pullbacks, or watch candidates.

In Settings, click "Backup All Data" to save all watchlists, tags, and notes to a file, or restore on any PC.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
The side panel doesn't open when I visit Groww. What should I check?
Make sure you are on a chart URL like groww.in/charts/stocks/reliance-industries-ltd or groww.in/terminal. If the panel is closed, click the Groww Watchlist Pro extension icon in your Chrome toolbar, or use the shortcut Alt + W.
Keyboard arrow keys aren't cycling stocks. Why?
Make sure your cursor isn't actively focused inside a text input or search box (where arrow keys move the text cursor). Simply click once anywhere on the chart canvas and try pressing ↓ or ↑ again.
Does Groww Watchlist Pro reload the page when switching stocks?
No! Groww Watchlist Pro uses native in-chart TradingView switching (setSymbol), updating your chart instantaneously in-place with zero page reloads and zero indicator resets.
How do I update to the latest version?
Chrome automatically updates extensions. To force an immediate update: navigate to chrome://extensions/, enable Developer mode, and click the Update button.
