Adding Symbols


Any Symbol supported by your MetaTrader broker can be added to the Market Score Plug-in.


To have the function appear in Symbols section of the  fnGetBestMarket function, the function name must be added to the symbols.lst file.


The symbols.lst file is a text file that lists all of the available market functions. It can be edited with any text editor, including NotePad.


The symbols.lst file is located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\iExpertAdvisor\Visual Trader Studio Connect\cfg\list




The original contents of the symbols.lst file:

CHART

"EURUSD"

"USDJPY"

"GBPUSD"

"USDCHF"

"AUDUSD"

"USDCAD"

"NZDUSD"

"EURGBP"

"EURJPY"

"GBPJPY"

"CHFJPY"


To add a new symbol, enter the name of the symbol, in quotes, on a new line and save the file. For example:

       "mEURUSD"
