Master the complete Finmagine Trader to TradingView workflow — Copy Symbols, Export CSV, watchlist management, and 35 interactive flashcards
Finmagine Trader hands you a momentum shortlist every trading morning. This article is about the single step that turns that shortlist into a live charting session: getting those tickers into TradingView in under 30 seconds, across all six strategy tabs, with zero manual typing.
A complete walkthrough of the Copy Symbols import, CSV export, six-watchlist naming strategy, and the 5-step morning routine will be available here shortly.
An audio walkthrough of this guide — covering Copy Symbols, Export CSV, the six-watchlist strategy, the full morning routine, and the complete Finmagine research stack — is being produced and will be available here shortly.
This guide covers: the two export methods and when to use each, the exact TradingView import steps, the [FM] watchlist naming strategy, the complete 5-step morning routine from 9:00 AM to market close, the SC and TV buttons for the full research stack, and the daily CSV archive habit that builds a momentum database over time.

Finmagine Trader gives you results. On a typical trading morning, the All Three tab shows 6 stocks where Stage 2, Near 52-Week High, and High Volume all fire simultaneously. The Stage 2 + Near High tab shows approximately 36 stocks. The Stage 2 tab shows 153. The screener has done its job: it has filtered the entire NSE universe down to a prioritised, conviction-ranked shortlist.
But a list of names is not a charting session. It is the input to a charting session. The question is how fast you can get from "here is the list" to "I am looking at charts and setting price alerts." If the answer is 10 to 20 minutes of manually typing ticker after ticker into TradingView's search box, then the friction is high enough that many traders will skip tabs, skip days, or give up the routine entirely within a few weeks. The morning has limited time and the market does not wait.
Two built-in features inside Finmagine Trader eliminate that friction entirely: Copy Symbols and Export CSV. Together, they reduce the time from screener result to fully populated TradingView watchlist to under 30 seconds per tab — and under three minutes for all six tabs simultaneously.
Copy Symbols: Copies all visible tickers in the active tab to your clipboard in NSE:SYMBOL format. Paste directly into TradingView's Import Watchlist field. Fastest method — no file, no download, no intermediate step.
Export CSV: Downloads a structured file with Ticker, Company Name, Price, % Change, Signals, and Score columns. Use for TradingView import, Excel analysis, portfolio trackers, or a historical archive that builds into a momentum database over time.
Both can be used simultaneously. Copy Symbols for immediate charting. Export CSV to create today's dated archive. Same click, same moment, two different outputs for two different purposes.
Every tab in the Finmagine Trader dashboard has a Copy Symbols button at the top of the results table. When you click it, every visible ticker in that tab is copied to your clipboard as a comma-separated list in NSE:SYMBOL format — for example: NSE:HAPPYFORGE,NSE:SAKAR,NSE:GVPIL.
The NSE: prefix is TradingView's exact native format for Indian exchange stocks. There is nothing to edit, no prefix to add, no formatting to adjust. You copy it from Finmagine Trader and paste it directly into TradingView's watchlist import field — and TradingView recognises every ticker immediately.
The button is filter-aware. If you have typed a keyword into the search box in Finmagine Trader to filter the visible results — for example, filtering by sector name to see only pharmaceutical stocks in the Stage 2 tab — then Copy Symbols copies only the currently visible filtered stocks, not the full unfiltered list. This makes it straightforward to build sector-specific watchlists from the same scan output without any additional step.
After clicking, the button briefly shows a "✓ Copied!" confirmation flash for 1.5 seconds before returning to its normal label. The button works independently on all six tabs — each tab maintains its own copy action and its own filtered state.
Type a sector keyword into the search box in Finmagine Trader, then click Copy Symbols. You instantly get a sector-specific watchlist from the same scan output — no need to run a separate sector screener. For example: type "pharma" in the Stage 2 tab search box, then Copy Symbols = all pharmaceutical stocks currently in Stage 2, ready to paste into a dedicated TradingView sector watchlist.
The complete workflow from opening Finmagine Trader to a populated TradingView watchlist takes under 15 seconds once you have done it a few times. The steps are identical for every tab.
Click the Finmagine Trader icon in your Chrome toolbar. The dashboard opens with all six tabs populated. Navigate to your chosen tab — for example, the All Three tab for the highest-conviction daily list, or Stage 2 + Near High for swing candidates.
If you want a sector-specific subset, type a keyword into the search box in Finmagine Trader to filter the visible results before copying. If you want the full tab list, leave the search box empty. Copy Symbols will capture exactly what is currently visible.
Click the Copy Symbols button at the top of the results table. The button confirms the action with a brief "✓ Copied!" flash. All visible tickers are now on your clipboard in NSE:SYMBOL,NSE:SYMBOL comma-separated format.
Switch to TradingView. Open the Watchlist panel on the right sidebar. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top of the Watchlist panel. Select "Import Watchlist" from the dropdown. A text input field appears.
Paste (Ctrl+V on Windows / Cmd+V on Mac) into the text input field. All tickers appear immediately. Click Import. Your TradingView watchlist is now fully populated with today's Finmagine Trader results for that tab. Total time: under 15 seconds.
Immediately after importing, rename the watchlist in TradingView to include the tab name and today's date — for example, "FM All Three — Feb 23" or "FM Stage 2 + NH — Feb 23". This keeps your watchlists organised, lets you compare results across days at a glance, and prevents yesterday's list from being silently overwritten. The [FM] prefix groups all six Finmagine watchlists together in TradingView's watchlist panel.
The Export CSV button downloads a structured file containing every stock in the active tab at the moment of export. Unlike Copy Symbols, which only carries the ticker strings, the CSV carries the full data row for each stock.
The exported file contains the following columns: Ticker (in NSE:SYMBOL format, directly compatible with TradingView import), Symbol (the NSE ticker code alone), Company Name (full company name), Price (INR) (current price at time of export), % Change (today's percentage move), Signals (which screeners this stock passed, e.g., S2+NH+HV), and Score (a 1-4 conviction score based on how many signals fired). The filename follows the pattern finmagine-trader-[tab-name]-[date].csv — for example, finmagine-trader-all-three-2026-02-23.csv.
There are four distinct use cases for the exported CSV beyond simply importing it into TradingView:
Save your CSV exports every trading day in a dated folder structure — for example, /screener-data/2026-02-23/. After 30 days you have a complete momentum database. After 90 days you can identify which stocks were in Stage 2 + Near High for an extended run — the kind of multi-week persistence that typically characterises the market's strongest ongoing trends. This compounding research advantage is not available to traders who only use the live dashboard without archiving. Multi-day persistence is invisible inside the extension itself — only the CSV archive reveals it.
TradingView's watchlist import supports both direct text paste (which is what Copy Symbols uses) and file upload. The CSV file export from Finmagine Trader works directly with the file upload path. The steps are slightly different from the Copy Symbols workflow.
Click the "Export CSV" button in Finmagine Trader for the tab you want. The file downloads automatically to your default downloads folder with the filename finmagine-trader-[tab]-[date].csv. Note the filename so you can locate it quickly in Step 3.
In TradingView, open the Watchlist panel on the right sidebar. Click the three-dot menu (⋯) at the top of the Watchlist. Select "Import Watchlist" from the dropdown menu.
In the Import Watchlist dialog, switch from the text paste tab to the "File" tab (or look for "Upload CSV" option). Click "Upload CSV" or the equivalent file picker button. Navigate to your downloads folder and select the finmagine-trader-[tab]-[date].csv file.
TradingView reads the Ticker column (NSE:SYMBOL format) from the CSV file and populates the watchlist instantly. All stocks from the Finmagine Trader tab appear in your TradingView watchlist, ready for chart review. Rename the watchlist with the tab name and date.
Both methods work equally well for populating a TradingView watchlist. Copy Symbols is faster — no file is created and no file picker is needed. CSV import takes one extra step but creates a permanent record of today's screener output on your device. The recommended workflow is: use Copy Symbols for immediate charting speed, and Export CSV simultaneously to build your daily archive. Both actions take seconds and the CSV file serves a completely different long-term purpose beyond its use as a TradingView import file.
Running all six tabs through the Copy Symbols workflow each morning creates a structured, purpose-built watchlist system in TradingView. Rather than a single large watchlist that mixes different conviction levels and trading styles, you have six distinct lists that reflect the six different momentum lenses Finmagine Trader applies to the NSE universe.
| Watchlist Name | Tab Source | Purpose | Typical Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| [FM] All Three | All Three tab | Daily action list — highest conviction. First tab to open every morning. Set price alerts here. | 4–8 stocks |
| [FM] Stage 2 + Near High | Stage 2 + Near High tab | Pre-breakout candidates, swing watchlist. Tomorrow's potential All Three names. | ~36 stocks |
| [FM] Stage 2 | Stage 2 tab | Full momentum research universe. Positional candidates, sector survey. | ~153 stocks |
| [FM] Near 52W High | Near 52W High tab | Discovery territory. Stocks at or near 52-week highs regardless of SMA structure. | ~59 stocks |
| [FM] High Volume | High Volume tab | Institutional activity today. Cash market stocks with volume confirmation. | ~62 stocks |
| [FM] VCP | VCP tab | Small-cap positional setups. Minervini VCP pattern — asymmetric reward plays. | ~20–40 stocks |
The [FM] prefix is deliberate. In TradingView's watchlist panel, watchlists appear in alphabetical or creation order. By prefixing all six with [FM], they cluster together at the top of the list (F sorts before most other characters) and are visually grouped as a set. You can collapse and expand the group at a glance, and the bracketed prefix makes it obvious which watchlists came from the Finmagine Trader workflow versus any other watchlists you maintain.
Before importing today's Copy Symbols output into a watchlist, rename the previous day's watchlist by appending the date — for example, rename "[FM] All Three" to "[FM] All Three — Feb 22" before creating a fresh "[FM] All Three" for today. This preserves the historical record in your TradingView workspace. Stocks that appear in [FM] Stage 2 + Near High for several consecutive days and then disappear are often entering Stage 3 (distribution) — worth noting as a potential exit signal for any positions. The dated archive of watchlists makes this pattern visible at a glance in TradingView itself.
The six-watchlist system only delivers its full value when it is run consistently. The following routine builds all six watchlists, reviews the highest-conviction candidates, queues the research for the day, and archives the data — in approximately 25 minutes, every trading morning.
Open Finmagine Trader. The data loads automatically in under 10 seconds. Go directly to the All Three tab. Check the count. If the All Three count is 0: the market currently has no stocks simultaneously passing Stage 2, Near 52-Week High, and High Volume — this is a signal to stand aside, reduce position sizing, and avoid forcing trades in a low-confirmation environment. If the count is 4 or more: the market is in a momentum phase. Proceed with the full routine.
Work through all six tabs in order: All Three → Stage 2 + Near High → Stage 2 → Near 52W High → High Volume → VCP. For each tab, click Copy Symbols and simultaneously click Export CSV (the CSV downloads in the background). Switch to TradingView, open the relevant [FM] watchlist, import via the Watchlist menu. Approximately 20 seconds per tab — three minutes total for all six. Rename each watchlist with today's date before moving to the next.
Open the [FM] All Three watchlist in TradingView. For each of the 4–8 stocks, ask: Is there a clean base with a clearly defined pivot point? Is the volume pattern confirming the breakout or continuation move? Is the risk-to-reward ratio acceptable given the current price relative to the nearest support level? Set price alerts for each stock's breakout level so you do not need to monitor tick-by-tick. This is the most important 10 minutes of the routine — these are the day's highest-conviction candidates.
Open the [FM] Stage 2 + Near High watchlist in TradingView. Scan the charts quickly — you are not looking for trades here, you are building tomorrow's potential All Three candidates. For the two or three most interesting chart structures, go back to Finmagine Trader, find those stocks in the Stage 2 + Near High tab, and click the SC button to open Screener.in. Check the fundamental picture: is revenue growing, are margins healthy, is promoter holding stable? Stocks with strong fundamentals and a clean technical base are the highest-quality setup candidates for future days.
After market close, move all six CSV files from your downloads folder into a dated archive folder — for example, /screener-data/2026-02-23/. Note the All Three count for the day in a simple log. If any positions were triggered, note the entry. This takes under five minutes. After 30 days, this archive becomes a searchable momentum database. After 90 days, you can identify which stocks maintained consecutive appearances in Stage 2 + Near High — a persistence signal that is invisible in the live dashboard but visible across your daily exports.
"The trader who runs this routine consistently — even on days when All Three shows zero — builds a compounding edge that no single trade can replicate. The zero-count days are not wasted days. They are the days the routine tells you to protect your capital. That signal alone is worth the three minutes it takes to build the watchlists."
The Copy Symbols and Export CSV features handle the Finmagine Trader to TradingView leg of the workflow. But Finmagine Trader has additional built-in connectors that link to the broader research process without requiring you to leave the extension or manually search for stocks.
Every row in the Finmagine Trader results table has an SC button. Clicking it opens the Screener.in consolidated company page for that stock in a new tab — giving you immediate access to all financial data: quarterly and annual results, balance sheet, profit and loss, cash flow, shareholding pattern, debt schedule, and links to annual reports and concall transcripts. The SC button is how you move from "the chart looks interesting" to "let me check if the business supports the price action" — the fundamental overlay that separates high-quality setups from structurally weak ones.
The TV button in each row opens the TradingView NSE chart for that stock directly. Clicking a row anywhere on the stock's name also opens TradingView. These in-extension navigation shortcuts mean you never need to type a ticker into TradingView's search box during your daily review — you click once in Finmagine Trader and the chart opens. The Symbol chip (the ticker chip displayed in the results row) copies that individual ticker to your clipboard on click, allowing you to paste a single ticker into any application.
The star (★) Watchlist button in the Finmagine Trader toolbar opens a persistent personal shortlist that survives browser sessions. Stocks you star are saved locally and remain on your in-extension watchlist across days. This is separate from your TradingView watchlists and serves a different purpose: it is your personal running list of stocks you are actively monitoring, independent of which screener tab they appear in on any given day. Use it for stocks that dropped off the screener tabs temporarily but remain in your research queue.
The four tools work in a natural sequence: Finmagine Trader finds the candidates from the NSE momentum universe. TradingView (via the TV button or Copy Symbols) lets you assess chart structure, set alerts, and make timing decisions. Screener.in (via the SC button) provides the fundamental overlay — financial ratios, management quality signals, historical results. Finmagine AI Advisor (at finmagine.com/ai-advisor.php) generates structured AI analysis prompts for deep-dive research on the most interesting candidates.
(1) Finmagine Trader: Run the screener. Identify the day's candidates from All Three and Stage 2 + Near High.
(2) TV button: Check chart structure for each candidate. Is there a clean base? Is volume confirming? Is the pivot clear?
(3) SC button → Screener.in: Check fundamentals. Revenue growth, margins, promoter holding, debt levels. Reject technically interesting but fundamentally weak stocks.
(4) Finmagine AI Advisor: For the remaining one or two highest-conviction candidates, generate a structured AI analysis prompt for deep research. Opens at finmagine.com/ai-advisor.php.
Finmagine Trader populates all six momentum watchlists in under 3 minutes — then SC and TV buttons take you from scanner to charts to fundamentals in one click, every trading day.

All investing and trading in the Indian stock market carries significant risk, including potential loss of principal. Nothing in this article should be construed as a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
Screener Output Is Not a Trade Signal:
The screeners within Finmagine Trader identify stocks meeting specific technical criteria as of the data retrieval time. Appearing in a screener result does not mean a stock will go up, is recommended for purchase, or is suitable for any particular investor's goals or risk profile. Past momentum patterns do not guarantee future price movements.
Market Conditions Change Rapidly:
The approximate stock counts mentioned in this article (e.g., "~6 in All Three," "~36 in Stage 2 + Near High") reflect typical market conditions and will vary significantly day to day depending on overall market breadth, sector rotation, and broader economic factors. These numbers are illustrative, not guaranteed outputs.
Technical Analysis Limitations:
Stage 2 analysis, 52-week high proximity, volume patterns, and VCP setups are technical frameworks that carry limitations. They can and do generate false signals. No technical framework eliminates losing trades. Every strategy experiences drawdowns.
Consult a Professional:
Before making any investment or trading decision, consult with a qualified, SEBI-registered financial advisor who understands your complete financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance. This tool and article are not a substitute for personalised professional advice.
