Adding and Removing Symbols in the ‘Symbols’ Tab
Symbols can be added or removed from the Market Watch as needed. Removing unnecessary symbols can also help reduce the load on your PC, so adjust accordingly.

The state of visibility is indicated by the dollar sign icon next to the symbol name: yellow means 'shown', gray means 'hidden'.
