Symbol Lookup - Forex

The Forex tab searches and finds the desired forex symbol based on the criteria you select.

 Access using the menu bar Insert > Symbol menu sequence and click Lookup. You can also use the Main toolbar and click the Symbol Lookup icon.

The following methods are available to search for futures symbols:

• All Forex Symbols - Lists all forex symbols without using any specific criteria.
• Description - Searches for the symbols using symbol descriptions that contain the letter(s) that you entered as search criteria. For example, if you enter EURO as your search criteria, the search will return all symbols whose descriptions contain the 'EURO' both words, where searching for EURO POUND will only return EURGBP (Euro / British Pound) since both words must match.
• Symbol - Searches for the actual forex symbol. This setting searches for symbols that begin with the letter(s) that you enter as search criteria. For example, if you enter AUD as your search criteria, the search will return all symbols that contain AUD in the symbol name.

Lookup - Displays the results you are looking for and based on what you entered in the Description and Symbol settings. Results will be displayed in the forex symbol box.
