Tilde is fine. But... to add a symbol to watch list the symbol
must exist.
If you create string that does not exist in the symbol list it
won't be added.
The only way to actually RENAME symbols is to use OLE
automation:
AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");
stk = AB.Stocks( Name() );
stk.Ticker = "~" + Name();
However this is strongly DISCOURAGED as when you change ticker
symbols
you won't be able to update them anymore (since Yahoo for
example has no idea what tilde at the beginning means).
Generally speaking changing ticker names to non-existing ones
is really BAD idea.
Why don't you just use watch lists and favourites. Put your
symbols in Favourite group without changing symbols.

Tomasz,
I tried using the Tilde " ~ "....is that reserved
windows character...
Here is the formula tried and
failed...
Cond=C > Ref ( C,- 1);
if ( LastValue( Cond== 1) )
{
CategoryAddSymbol("~"+ Name(),
categoryWatchlist, 13 );
}
Filter=Cond > 0;
AddColumn (Cond, "");
//Buy=0;

Hello,
Never use special characters like *, /, \
(asterisk, backslash and slash) in watch list names or
composite names.
These characters are Windows file-system reserved
characters and must not be used in anything that forms the file
name.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

This should be something that is very
elementary....you should not have to create a composite
ticker...
we just want to run an explore and put those
tickers that meet certain criteria into a watchlist and mark those tickers
that meet a 2nd criteria with a ~ in front of the
name...
Maybe Tomasz can look at it.
