Like much of the functionality within MarketDelta, there are multiple methods to add or edit symbols. 

 

ADDING SYMBOLS

  1. The first would be to click Quote Page on the main toolbar and open any quote page.

  2. Click the INSERT key on your keyboard and a new line will appear allowing you to type the symbol in the ticker column. Alternatively right click on any instrument and select Insert | New Row.

  3. After you have added the new instrument right click the instrument and select SETUP from the menu.  Input all the instrument variables.  These can always be changed later if you are not sure.  It is recommended to select the 24 trading session.


CHANGING SYMBOLS

  1. A second way to add or change a symbol on the Footprint and Market Profile window is click the ~sym button.  This will open the "Select Instrument" window. 
  2. Choose your symbol or begin typing the symbol of the ticker you want to see.  
  3. If the symbol is not in the list MarketDelta will prompt you to add a new instrument.
  4. Type in the new symbol and press enter.
  5. On the chart press ALT+A to open the Symbol Setup menu.  Setup the symbol properties.
  6. The symbol setup menu can also be accessed at Quote Page | System Quote Page | All Symbols and right click the instrument you just added.

 

ANOTHER WAY TO ADD SYMBOLS

  1. A third way to add a symbol is to just begin typing the instrument name when on any chart.  

  2. IF the instrument is not detected in any of your quote pages, a new new symbol window will appear allowing you to type in the new symbol.  

  3. Once added you will see the symbol in the Select Instrument window and it is recommended you right click the instrument to setup the symbols preferences before proceeding.
