What is Custom List Slideshow Indicator?
The Custom List Slideshow indicator displays symbol-related information (such as name or price change) and cycles through a predefined list of instruments automatically at regular intervals. It’s designed to provide quick updates on selected pairs without needing to switch charts manually.
This tool is especially helpful for traders who monitor multiple markets and want to stay updated on various pairs while keeping the workspace clean and focused on one chart window.
How to Use It in Practice
In real trading scenarios, you can use this indicator to:
- Keep track of selected symbols by automatically cycling through them.
- Display information such as symbol name and price change in a fixed chart corner.
- Customize font, color, and position to match your chart theme and visibility preferences.
- Monitor up to 20 custom instruments in a loop without changing your active chart.
This setup is ideal for traders who want a passive, glanceable view of their watchlist while focusing on another chart or strategy.
