Organizing Your Market Watch

To keep your Market Watch organized:

  • Create Custom Sets: In MT5, you can create custom sets of symbols by right-clicking in Market Watch and selecting "Sets" → "Save As"

  • Sort Symbols: Right-click in Market Watch and choose your preferred sorting method (alphabetically, by type, etc.)


Searching for Specific Products

If you're looking for a specific trading instrument:

  1. Right-click in the Market Watch window

  2. Select "Symbols" (MT4) or click the search icon in the Market Watch toolbar (MT5)

  3. Type the name or part of the name of the instrument in the search field

  4. Select the desired instrument from the results and add it to your Market Watch


If an instrument is still missing

Confirm that you are signed in to the intended account and server, because available instruments can differ by account type, region and server. Refresh or reconnect Market Watch, update the platform if needed, and search for the complete symbol name, including any account suffix. “Show All” displays instruments available to that account; it does not make an ineligible product available.
