Need some help using MT5 [newbie]

 

Hi All,

‌‌Not sure if I am posting in the right forum here as I don't see any reference to MT5, only MT4, so apologies if I am in the wrong place. Also, is this just for programming backend stuff or for all help? I guess I am about to find out.

‌‌New to Metatrader and I was just wanting some help with demo functionality. 2 points;

1‌) When I look for a stock symbol i.e. AAPL in my Market Watch window, I type it in to "click to Add", press enter and nothing happens. Why is this? What am I doing wrong? If I type e.g. EURUSD then I get all currency pairs, but if I type in MSFT for example nothing happens.

U‌PDATE: Sorry, just realized the Apple symbol is DAAPL. I've found the symbols lists. SO it's just the other issue below with my "show time and sales" function.

‌‌****************************************************************

2‌) When viewing a currency pair's DOM, my Time & Sales option is grayed out, why is it not active? Am I doing something wrong or is it because I am using the demo account (server - MetaQuotes-Demo)? Although I am pretty sure I've read that this is available in the demo.

T‌hanks in advance. And sorry if I am in the wrong place... I'm a fast learner ;)

I‌'ll attache an image of my screen but I'm sure you know what I'm looking at anyway.

Sorry, I was just moving the post to where you told me to. You can delete the one in General, if possible.
