 The Market Watch section on your trading platform is designed for displaying symbols that you want to monitor.

To include symbols in your Market Watch, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click anywhere within the Market Watch window.
  2. Choose the "Symbols" option.
  3. Select the category of symbols you want to add, which typically includes:
  • Forex for currency pairs (e.g., EURUSD)
  • Indices for stock market indices (e.g., US30)
  • Commodities for assets like gold and silver
  • Equities for individual stocks (e.g., AAPL)
  • Crypto for cryptocurrencies (e.g., BTCUSD)

Please note that the names of these categories might vary depending on your account type. For precise details, refer to the relevant article on trading instruments.

To add a symbol, either double-click on the instrument you desire or select it and click on the "Show" button.

If you wish to remove symbols from your Market Watch, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the symbol you want to hide.
  2. Choose the "Hide" option.

Having too many instruments in your Market Watch window can affect your internet speed. Removing symbols one by one can be time-consuming. In such situations, you can do the following:

  1. Right-click anywhere in the Market Watch window and select "Hide All."
  2. You can then proceed to add your preferred instruments using the previously mentioned steps.
