Useful tips

You can hide or add back the hidden symbols at any time in the "Symbols" window.
Keep the "Market Watch" window clear — it can help to improve trading efficiency.
You can arrange multiple charts using the "Window" tab in the top menu (like Tile or Cascade), or manually resize and drag them. To customize the look (colors and styles), right-click any chart and select "Properties" or use "Templates" to apply the same look to all of them.
