TOS: Custom Column for Static Data

[JMW]

This may not be possible, but is there a way in ThinkorSwim to create a custom column on a watchlist to store a static data element I enter? For instance, I have a small watchlist track mutual funds in my long-term investing account in Fidelity. I'd like to put my average cost basis in this column just to see where things are at a quick glance. I also have a different watchlist of various stocks that I'd be interested in moving into once it hits a number I predetermine - if I could type in a number here to reference, that would great.

EDIT: Apologies for horrible photo quality. But hopefully you get the idea...

Not really, but sort of, there are indirect methods.

There is a note, or notes column, something like that. You can add what ever you want, but its a pop up box if I remember correctly, it doesn't appear as text in the actual watch list.

Or you could write a singular script, and assign the static values conditionally.

If GetSymbol() == "FXAIX" then 10000
else if GetSymbol() == "FBGRY" then 20000
else if ...
else if ...
else 0

Maybe just try GetAveragePrice()

Perfect, that solution works - it's such a small list that doesnt really change that much, I don't mind hard coding.

Thanks!
