   string  name,       // symbol name
   bool    select      // add or remove
   );

Parameters

name

[in] Symbol name.

select

[in] Switch. If the value is false, a symbol should be removed from MarketWatch, otherwise a symbol should be selected in this window. A symbol can't be removed if the symbol chart is open, or there are open orders for this symbol.

Return Value

In case of failure returns false.

Note

To get symbol data using functions for accessing timeseries and indicators, make sure that the symbol exists in the MarketWatch window. If the symbols is not available in Market watch, enable it using the SymbolSelect(symbol_name, true) function before you request the data.

The symbol can be hidden from MarketWatch after 10 minutes since the last access to the symbol history, i.e. since the call of functions like iOpen(), iHigh(), CopyTime() etc. This is due to the fact that the terminal stores symbol data for 10 minutes since the last access to them; after that unused data are automatically deleted from the terminal memory.
