# Lists

Custom watchlists to group instruments

Lists are custom watchlists you create and manage yourself. Instead of tracking everything in one place, you can group instruments however makes sense to you, by strategy, sector, listing, or anything else.

## What lists offer
- **Create up to 99 lists:** Build as many lists as you need, each with its own custom name and a colour, so you can tell them apart at a glance.
- **Rearrange your lists:** Reorder your lists to put the ones you check most often at the top.
- **Add instruments to multiple lists:** An instrument isn't locked to a single list, you can add it to as many as you want.
- **Per-list Volatility Alerts (mobile only):** Turn [Volatility Alerts](https://lightyear.com/help/trading-and-investments/alerts) on or off for individual lists, so you're only notified about the instruments you actually want to monitor closely.
- **You can personalise other features:** You can get [Lightning Updates](https://lightyear.com/help/trading-and-investments/lightning-updates) for instruments in your lists, see relevant news and events for instruments in your lists and filter them for each account you hold, or tie your lists to your [Plans](https://lightyear.com/help/trading-and-investments/plans) by adding items from what you’re watching when creating a custom Plan.

## How do I add an instrument to a list?
Select the star icon on any instrument's page. You'll know it's been added when the star is filled in on mobile, and on web, the icon label changes to "Watching." 

Alternatively, on mobile, you can tap and hold on any instrument in the Explore tab, search results, or Portfolio screen to bring up the quick-add menu and then add it to a list from there.

## Where can I see my lists or create a new one?
On mobile, lists live in the Explore tab (first button from the bottom) just below Lightning Updates. On web, you'll find them in the left-side menu through the star icon.
