Pairs and the active pair

Switch the pair you're working on, see all pairs at once, and add custom symbols.


Red Candle covers forex majors and crosses, metals (XAUUSD gold, XAGUSD silver) and any custom symbol you add.

The active pair

The Active pair switcher sits under the logo in the sidebar. Every page follows it: the Timeline, Journal, Market Data, AI Analysis and Similar Patterns show only that pair.

Choose All pairs to see everything together — for example all trades in the Journal. AI Analysis and Similar Patterns need one pair, so they ask you to pick one.

Find a pair

Open the switcher and type in the search box — for example EUR, JPY or gold. Recent pairs are listed first, then Metals, Majors, Crosses and Custom.

Add a custom symbol

Indices, crypto or a broker's own symbol name? Type it under Add custom symbol… (for example US30 or BTCUSD) and click Add.

The pair the app opens on

Settings → Trading → Default pair. Choose a pair, All pairs, or Last used to reopen where you left off.

Pairs are detected for you

  • Screenshots saved by TradingView carry the symbol in their file name, so the pair is filled in when you upload them.
  • MT5 exports carry the symbol in their file name, so Market Data knows the pair of each file.
