Create your own forex currency pair watch-list

Metatrader 4 has many little nuances that a lot of traders are unaware of. One of them is how to create a “market watch list” of the currency pairs you want to follow. You can also create a “pop up” price list that allows you to get a quick view of the current price quotes of all the pairs you follow, you can adjust the size of this pop up list and it will stay that way so every time you hit F10 you can see all the currencies you follow in large text. Here are the instructions to create a market watch list and a pop up price list in MT4:
Screen shot of my market watch list:
1) Click on “view” at the very top of your screen.
2) Click on “market watch” within the “view” menu
3) You should see a screen appear with some or all of the currency pairs available, and probably gold and silver.
4) Now, right click anywhere in the “market watch” window, you should see a menu appear with various options.
5) This is where you can pick and choose which currency pairs you follow. You will need to first select a currency pair if you want to hide it, then right click and select “hide”, it will now disappear from your market view menu. (note; if you have an open trade you cannot hide the quote of the currency pair from the trade you are in)
6) To reverse this just lick “show all” and all the currency pairs will pop back up.
7) You can also just click on “symbols” and then go through and hide or show which ever currency pairs you want.
8) Once you get your watch list set go to “sets” and save it. You can save multiple watch lists if you want.
9) Hit F10 and a pop-up price menu of your currently opened watch list will appear. This is a handy little short cut that you can use to check the prices of all the instruments on your watch list very quickly so that you don’t have to have the watch list window open all the time.Now, the pairs that I recommend you include in your watch list are the following: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, AUD/JPY, XAGUSD, and XAUUSD.This gives you 10 different currency pairs to follow, more than enough to trade with. You really should pick your favorite 4 or 5 of these and follow them very closely and master one forex trading strategy at a time, once you progress you can add all 10 currency pairs to your watch list.
