Symbol selection: Watchlist vs. AI picks

When auto-trading runs, it needs to know which symbols to analyze and trade. This is controlled by the "Auto-Trade Scope" setting.

Watchlist mode (default):

Auto-trading only analyzes and trades symbols on your watchlist. This gives you full control over which assets the AI considers. Add symbols to your watchlist that you've researched and are comfortable holding.

AI Picks mode (AI Free Range):

The AI autonomously discovers opportunities from top gainers, most active stocks, and (for aggressive risk profiles) top losers. It filters out invalid symbols like warrants, preferred shares, and single-character tickers automatically.

How to change:

Go to Settings > Trading and find "Auto-Trade Scope." Choose "Watchlist Only" or "AI Picks."

Recommendation: Start with Watchlist mode so you maintain control over which symbols are traded. Switch to AI Picks once you're comfortable with the platform's recommendations.
