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.
Old...If you go ahead and try to eliminate the unwanted symbols in the drop down, please let us know. I been wondering about this problem myself. Thanks.
nah, I suppose I could do it if I reloaded tws, but it takes all weekend to set up my screen again, and then who knows when I would want to change symbols. It's not that big of a deal. But if I want to switch charts for different contracts quckly it is just one more thing to do to page down and look for the contract I want to see. It just seems like I should be able to right click on a symbol and there should be and option "Delete chart" or "Delete from list"
