How to add Notes on the Kite marketwatch
Notes is a low-friction annotation layer on the Kite marketwatch: a short text field attached to any scrip row, stored server-side, and surfaced via a small icon. It is not an alert, not a target order, just a scratchpad to record why a scrip is on the watchlist.

Step-by-step procedure
Five steps per the procedure infobox. The notes below describe what Notes is, what it is not, and where it differs from Alerts and GTT.
Notes vs Alerts vs GTT
| Feature | What it does | Triggers an action? |
|---|---|---|
| Notes | Stores plain text against a scrip | No |
| Alerts | Sends a notification when a price or condition triggers | Notification only |
| GTT | Places an order when a trigger fires | Order placement |
Notes is purely informational. A note that says “buy if below 1,200” does not trigger any order; it just reminds you. Use GTT for execution.
Practical use of Notes
- Rationale tags. “Holding from 2022 earnings call; long thesis intact.”
- Event reminders. “Q4 results 14-Aug; revise position size.”
- Target log. “Target 1,650; stop 1,420 (intraday).”
- Watch reasons. “Watching for breakout above 220-week MA.”
The 250-character cap forces brevity; longer rationales belong in a personal journal or a Console portfolio note.
Sync and persistence
Notes are stored server-side. A note added on Kite web appears on the Kite app within seconds, and vice versa. Notes are scoped to the specific scrip, not to the watchlist tab; the same scrip on two different watchlists shares the same note.
