is it possible to add symbol to the chart background? or maybe some other alternative?
when multiple charts open for different symbols, a little difficult to see which one is for which symbol

I was searching for a way to do this as well and then I found a way. Use the Stationary Text tool to place the text you want on the chart. As you scroll through the chart, the text will remain in place.

For example, you could select the Stationary Text tool and type EURUSD in the Enter Text window. You can then customize the font by right clicking the text and selecting Chart Drawing properties. You can change the font size and color to fit your need.

Drawbacks to this method: 1) You need to manually add it to each chart, 2) Text overlays your chart candles and lines

You realize you can do exactly this with the Symbol Display study? Just make sure you adjust the background as you want it and you can use an Alternate Symbol Text if you select that option and type in whatever you want to display on that chart. See attached for an example.
