Auto Symbol Switcher for MT4 — Smart Market Watch Cycler & Chart Navigator
Auto Symbol Switcher (MT4) is a lightweight, GUI-based utility that automatically rotates your chart across a curated list of symbols. It’s built for discretionary traders, scalpers, and analysts who want a clean workflow to scan markets quickly without juggling watchlists. No trading operations are performed—this tool focuses purely on chart navigation and symbol management.

Why traders choose it- Faster market scanning: Rotate through pairs, indices, metals, or CFDs on an automated schedule.
- Hands-on control: One-click START/STOP, FIRST, PREV, and NEXT buttons for instant navigation.
- Clean, modern panel: Dark/Light themes with a tidy layout designed for day-long use.
- Safe by design: The utility does not open, modify or close orders.
Key features
- Two UI styles: Simple Interface (compact 4-button bar: START/STOP, FIRST, «PREV, NEXT») or a Full panel with on-screen toggles and color themes.
- Three source modes: Market Watch, Inline list (e.g. EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY ), or File ( symbols.txt ) with optional Common Files support.
- Third-party tool friendly: Works with any external tool that can export a plain-text symbol list in the correct format and location.
If Use_Common_Files = OFF, save your symbols.txt to MQL4/Files/. If Use_Common_Files = ON, save it to Terminal/Common/Files/. - Auto Add to Market Watch (optional): If a symbol isn’t visible, the utility can add it right before switching.
- Precision filters: Require Visible, Require Has Ticks, Require Trade Allowed, Exclude Patterns (e.g. micro,_old,crypto ), and De-duplicate.
- Flexible rotation styles: Forward, Backward, or Ping-Pong (back & forth) with custom delay and loop control.
- Persistence per instance: Remembers list, index, and status using your Instance Tag—great for multi-chart setups.
Buttons (panel)

Under the hood
The MT4 build uses safe visibility/tick checks and can auto-add symbols to Market Watch right before switching. Rotation respects your filters so the chart only cycles through symbols that meet the criteria you set. In Simple Interface, persistence stores run/pause and index; in Full Interface, a fuller signature is stored.
