On MetaTrader (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), when you can't find your symbol in the Market Watch, you can add the symbol from the Market Watch menu. There are three options: show all the symbols, add specific symbols, or add specific sets of symbols.
Similarly, if you wish to hide certain symbols in the Market Watch, you can either hide specific symbols or all of them at once. Here we'll take a look at how to perform these actions.
Here we will look at how to manage symbols in the Market Watch on MT4/MT5.
Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.

Right-click in the "Symbols" tab of the Market Watch.
You can add a symbol to the Market Watch in four ways: select "Show All" from the menu, type the symbol name, pick a symbol from the symbol list, or add a symbol set.
To show all the symbols that your broker offers, select "Show All" in the context menu.
To add a specific symbol by entering its name, double-click on the area below the symbol list and type the symbol name you wish to add.
To add a specific symbol offered by brokers to the Market Watch, select "Symbols" in the context menu.
The "Symbols" window will open. The symbol with yellow "$" is shown on the Market Watch and the one with gray "$" is hidden. Select the symbol you wish to add and click "Show" in the top right corner. The "$" icon will turn yellow and the symbol will be added to the Market Watch. You can also show or hide a symbol by double-clicking its "$".
The symbol list is also accessible from "View">"Symbols" on the menu.
MT5 has the search box feature, which lets you search for a symbol you wish to add from all the symbols provided by your broker. This is useful when using brokers that offer a lot of symbols.
To add a symbol set created by each broker, such as "Forex majors" or "Forex minors", move the pointer over "Sets" in the context menu and select the set you wish to add.
With only the symbols you use most often displayed, hover the pointer over "Sets" and click "Save as" to save the displayed symbols as a set. For example, you can create a set that only includes USD/JPY and other JPY pairs.
Symbols will be added to the Market Watch.
To hide a specific symbol from the Market Watch, right-click on the symbol and select "Hide" in the context menu. To hide all the symbols, select "Hide All". Note that even if you choose to hide all, the symbols with open position or pending order and the ones whose charts are open will remain in the Market Watch.
