Market watch window

 

On the MetaTrader 4 platform, at the left side of the screen, there is the "Market Watch" window which lists a variety of currency pairs along with corresponding bid and ask prices. Two tabs are located at the bottom of the "Market Watch" window: one is called "Symbols" which shows the list of currency pairs, the other is called "Tick Charts"; this tab can be selected to show the current price activity of any of the currency pairs.

You are able to open "Market Watch" window in two ways which is shown on the pictures below:

  • Select the "View" menu, then in the drop down list, click on the "Market Watch".

 

  • Click on the "Market Watch" icon from the standard toolbar at the top of your MetaTrader 4 platform.

 

 The fastest way to open the “Market Watch” window is by using its shortcut <Ctrl+M>.

You can rearrange the list by dragging and dropping individual instruments.

Right-click on an instrument to bring up the menu with several options:
