Configuration of the Market Watch in MT4 (Mac)

‘Symbols’ Tab

This tab displays prices and other details for each symbol. In MT4, you can display charts for the symbols shown here, as well as open new charts and change the displayed symbol from this tab.

‘Ticks’ Tab

Displays a tick chart for the selected symbol, useful when you want to observe the most recent minute price movements.

Adding via ‘Symbols List'

Right-click in the Market Watch, select 'Symbols' from the menu.

In the 'Symbols List' dialog, select the symbol you wish to display or hide, and then click the 'Show' or 'Hide' button, or double-click the symbol name to toggle its visibility. The state of visibility is indicated by the dollar sign icon next to the symbol name: yellow means 'shown', gray means 'hidden'.

Changing by Right-Clicking in the Market Watch

Right-click on the symbol you wish to hide, select 'Hide' from the menu that appears. Also, choosing 'Show All' from the right-click menu will display all available symbols, and 'Hide All' will hide all except those in use on charts.

You can display various items in the Market Watch 'Currency Pair' tab, such as bid, ask, high/low, spread, and last update time. To adjust, right-click in the Market Watch and check the items you want to display.

How to Change Order Manually

By dragging and dropping the symbol names up or down in the Market Watch, you can change the order in which they are displayed.
