Log In to Your Webull Account

View Your Account Summary

If you want to check an individual stock, tap or click on “Positions” in the left menu. Here you will see a list of all the stocks and other securities you own in your Webull account.
Check Real-Time Quotes
One of the best features of Webull is that you get real-time streaming stock quotes. To check a quote, simply search for the stock ticker at the top of the app or website.
Once you select the stock, you will see detailed quotes including:
- Current share price
- Day’s high and low
- Volume traded
- Market capitalization
- Any price changes since market open or previous close
On the mobile app, the quotes stream in real-time. On desktop, you may need to hit “refresh” to update the price.
View Charts and Technical Indicators
In addition to quotes, Webull provides interactive stock charts with technical indicators. You can view candlestick, line, and volume charts for any period from intraday up to 5 years. Popular technical indicators like moving averages, MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands can be added with just a few taps.
Viewing the chart over time can give you a sense of the stock’s price history and potential future direction. The indicators help identify trends, momentum, support/resistance levels, and buy/sell signals.
Check Your Overall Portfolio Performance
Rather than viewing each stock individually, you can check the performance of your overall Webull portfolio. In the account summary, view the “Total Return” section.
This shows your total account gain/loss today, over the past week, and since you started using Webull. You can also see your all-time portfolio high value.
Set Price Alerts
To monitor stocks more closely, use Webull’s price alerts feature. You can set alerts on both desktop and mobile when a stock hits a certain price target.
For example, you may want to get notified if a stock drops below a support level or rises above a resistance. On mobile, tap the “Bell” icon on the stock quote page. On desktop, go to the chart and click “Alerts” in the top right.
Check Your Stock News Feed
Stay up to date on your stocks by following their news feeds. Webull aggregates the latest news, filings, and releases for each stock. Tap or click on “News” from any stock quote page to see the news feed.
You can also set custom news alerts for key developments like earnings, FDA approvals, analyst ratings changes, and more.
Enable Stock Screeners

Some useful screens are:

- Target price – analysts average expected future price

Analyst reports can provide valuable insight into a company’s outlook and expected performance. Just keep in mind ratings are not guarantees.
Check SEC Filings
Public companies file regular financial reports with the SEC. These filings provide in-depth details on the company’s operations and financials. Common filings include:
- 10-K – Annual report with audited financials
- 10-Q – Quarterly financial report
- 8-K – Report of major events that may impact stock price
On Webull, you can view a company’s latest SEC filings under the “News” section. The reports can give you extra insight into a stock beyond just the share price.

Insider trading refers to when company executives and directors buy or sell shares of their own stock. Monitoring insider trades can signal how insiders view the company’s future prospects.
On Webull, you can view a feed of the latest insider transactions under the “News” tab. Buying activity could imply insiders see upside in the stock. Heavy selling may suggest potential downside risk.
Join Stock Chat Rooms
Webull has built-in chat rooms where you can discuss stocks with other traders. The rooms are organized by stock symbol. This allows you to see what other Webull members think about a company and exchange due diligence.
While chat rooms should not be your only source of information, they can provide a pulse on investor sentiment and potential catalysts affecting a stock.
Track Your Watchlist
Use Webull’s watchlist feature to track stocks you are interested in but don’t yet own. Simply tap the “+” icon to add a stock to your watchlist.
You can then quickly check your watchlist to view quotes, charts, news, and analysis on those stocks all in one place. This makes it easy to monitor their price action.
Set Price Alerts on Your Watchlist
Take your watchlist a step further by setting price alerts on the stocks. For example, you may want an alert when your watchlist stock reaches a specific support, resistance, or target entry level.
This allows you to be notified right on your phone when the price action meets your criteria. Price alerts help catch opportunities at your desired levels.
Check Premarket and After Hours Prices
Webull allows you to check stock quotes even when the market is closed. During premarket hours from 4:00 AM – 9:30 AM Eastern, and after hours from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM, you can still view updated quotes.
Monitoring premarket and after hours prices can give you a sense of how the stock may trend on the next open. Large price swings when traditional markets are closed may signal a potential gap up or down.
