The MT5 Market Watch is composed of the following four tabs:
'Symbols’ Tab
You can display the prices and percentage changes of each symbol. In MT5, you can display the chart of the symbols shown here. You can also open new charts or change the symbol on a chart from here.
'Details’ Tab
You can display detailed price information of the selected symbol, including the high and low of the Bid and Ask prices.
‘Trading’ Tab
You can display the trade panel (price board) for each symbol. From here, one-click orders are also possible.
‘Ticks’ Tab
Displays the tick chart for a selected single symbol. Used when you want to check the most recent minute price movements.
Here we will introduce the basic settings of the main "Symbols" tab of the Market Watch.
Adding and Deleting Symbols in the Symbols Tab
Symbols displayed in the Market Watch can be added or deleted as needed. It's advisable to hide unnecessary symbols to reduce the load on your PC. Adjust according to your needs.
There are multiple ways to add or delete, but here are three typical methods:
Method to add from ‘Click to add’
Click on "Click to add" at the bottom of the displayed symbols, and you can add by entering the symbol name in the input field that appears.
Method to change from ‘Symbol list
Right-click on the Market Watch and select "Symbol list" from the menu that appears.
In the "Symbols" dialog that appears, select a category on the left to display the symbols in that category on the right, select the symbols you want to display, and click the "Show Symbol" or "Hide Symbol" button at the bottom to toggle display visibility. (Double-clicking on the symbol name can also toggle the display/visibility.)
Incidentally, if the dollar sign icon to the left of the symbol name is yellow, it indicates "visible"; if it's gray, it indicates "hidden".
The categories (upper row) and symbols (lower row) that can be displayed in TitanFX's MT5 are as follows:
Method to change by right-clicking in the Market Watch
You can hide any symbol by right-clicking on the symbol you want to hide in the Market Watch and selecting "Hide" from the menu that appears.
Also, by selecting "Show All" from the right-click menu, you can display all available symbols, and by selecting "Hide All", you can hide all except those used in charts and other displays.
Adjusting Display Items in the Symbols Tab
You can display various items in the Market Watch's Symbols tab, including Bid, Ask, high, low, percentage change, spread, and other optional items. To adjust, right-click on the Market Watch and check the items you want to display in the display column.
※ Some data items may not be displayed if there is no data available.
Sorting and Reordering in the Symbols Tab
How to sort
You can sort the order of symbol names. Click on the top header section to sort by the displayed items. To cancel sorting, right-click on the Market Watch and select "Reset" from the "Sort" option in the menu that appears.
How to change to any order
In the state where no sorting is applied (if sorting is applied, you need to cancel it first), you can change the order of display by dragging and dropping the symbol names up or down in the Market Watch.
