Using the MT4 Market Watch window to keep track of MT4 symbols.

The market watch window on MetaTrader 4 is used to display and show an array of Bitcoin quotes for bitcoin crypto. To access this display on the MT4 a btc/usd trader should go to view menu like illustrated & shown below and select Market-Watch Window Panel by Pressing on it. (The 'Ctrl+M' is short cut for accessing this window such as displayed and illustrated and shown below, by pressing this short-cut, you can open market-watch window without navigating to "view" menu)

MarketWatch Window

Upon selecting the btcusd marketwatch window, a subsequent pop-up window will materialize, presenting a list of available trading quotes.

As a trader, you may want to trade something that is not on this list. For example, only 5 things to trade are shown on the list above. To see the other prices that aren't listed, you can click on the market-watch window as shown, and the window below will appear.

To see a list of additional symbols, click the "Show All" button, which will display all available forex currency pairs.

To Use Less Internet Data, (Especially if you're using a phone to trade, or paying for each MB of internet used)

To conserve data transfer capacity, compile a comprehensive directory of all instruments you intend to trade, for instance, ten currency pairs. Following this compilation, select all entries and activate the "Hide All" function: this action conceals all pairs unnecessary for trading, resulting in a significant reduction in your required internet bandwidth.

Even if you aren't trying to use less data, you can pick the "Hide All" option, which will save your computer's processor and RAM. This is helpful for brokers that have a lot of MT4 symbols and financial tools. You don't need 100 or 200 of these tools updating on your platform if you only need about 10 prices or a few financial tools to trade. You can always "Show All," pick a new pair by opening a chart, and then hide all: your new choices will be added to the short list.
