To add an instrument manually or from data source, see [[Data_Sources_Overview#Adding_Symbol.28s.29_to_Symbol_List|Adding Symbol(s) to Symbol List]].
==Adding Symbol Combinations==
Since '''MultiCharts 11''' that is possible to plot symbol combinations (composites). At the moment combos are available from [[Interactive Brokers]] only.
Adding combo-symbols is performed as follows:
# Open '''QuoteManager''' window
#* see [[:Category:QuoteManager#Opening QuoteManager|how]]
# On the '''Instrument''' menu, select '''Add Symbol'''.
# Select '''From Data Source'''.
# Choose '''Interactive Brokers''' from the '''Data Source''' list; the '''Insert Symbols into Portfolio''' window will open.
# Select the '''Combinations''' tab.
# Click on the '''Leg-by-leg Lookup''' button; the '''Combo Selection''' window will be opened.
# Choose one of the available symbol tabs and perform the search for the symbol by using '''Lookup'''. It is possible to select only 2 symbols for a combination.
# Once the symbols are selected click '''Add''' and close the '''Combo Selection''' window.
# The selected symbols will be displayed in the '''Insert Symbols Into Portfolio''' window and it will be possible to specify the action (Buy/Sell) and the quantity for each symbol.

Also, make sure that you set up [[Interactive Brokers Broker Profile|'''Interactive Brokers broker profile''']] for trading and [[Interactive Brokers Broker Plug-in|'''Interactive Brokers broker plug-in''']] for auto-trading.
