Investment Watchlists: Show percentage gain/loss

This is a really small enhancement request for the Watchlist screen: add the percentage change for gain/loss in the column of securities being watched. Currently, it shows only the dollar change in the list. But when you click on one security in the list, the detail for that security on the right side shows both the dollar change AND percentage change.

It shouldn't be necessary to click on each security to see the percentage change; this request is to add the percentage change to the list of securities.

    How about a watch list that shows more than just price????? The watch list in its current form is basically useless imo.

    @Pete Lercara In my mind, an investment watchlist tracks the price of a stock over time, which is what the one in Quicken Mac does. What more would you want it to show than the price?

    Hello All,

    This Idea seems to have stalled, and we would like to gauge the current interest in this request. Please vote if you have not done so already!

    Thank you!

    I created this topic, so I obviously think it's worthwhile. 😂 It's just a tiny little change in the display UI: instead of the existing ••• dropdown menu, where you can select whether to Show Price Change or Show Percentage Change, this requested change would simply show both Price and Percentage change in the left side of the Watchlist. It shouldn't be necessary to click on each security, one at a time, to see both values on the right side.
