Fast Switching Symbols Periods Keyboard

The indicator allows you to quickly switch from one instrument to another, from one time period to another using the keyboard or buttons on the monitor. Each command can be assigned a hot key from 0-9, a-Z (case-insensitive) and VK_OEM_COMMA ("<" on the keyboard) and VK_OEM_PERIOD (">" on the keyboard).

This can help you to operate the maximum number of instruments that are available at your broker, analyze more instruments/periods in less time.
