I have a long list of symbols I'm not using on the pulldown IB tws chart window. Anybody know how to delete them? I can add with no problem, but once I add, I don't know how to get rid of them.

I had that same question, and tech support told me that it is just a list of recently-used symbols and doesn't take any memory. There is no need to delete them.

that's cool, but right now I only want 6 symbols on the list, that way I don't have to page up or down on the scroll. Maybe if I only keep using those 6, they will rise to the top.

thanks rwk for the info/reply

Old...

I don't know if this will work, but if you delete your charts, close TWS, then log back in, it might eliminate the unwanted symbols in the drop down when you add a new chart.

Of course, if you have many charts and/or lots of indicators already set, it may not be worth the effort.

ok, I'll try that this weekend, no I have no indicators, I just use the default.
