How can I view all symbols currently being tracked by Sierra Chart?

My symbol count is higher than expected. I have gone through the steps from the link below but still cannot determine where/why the additional symbols are being tracked.

The instructions in the section you reference gives all the information on where to look for symbols. There is no single place to pull up a list of symbols.

In general, though, you do not need to worry about the number of symbols, as there is no symbol limit any longer. We need to update that section for that information.

Are you seeing a considerably higher number than you expect? What is the first number after ST: in your Status Bar? What value do you think you should have?

Thank you. I'm traveling in a remote area and am only getting around 4-6 Mps, so I'm trying to limit my tracked symbols.

I have a chartbook with 4 stock symbols, and another with 3 futures symbols, but the ST count is showing 12. When I close all my chartbooks, it's still showing 2.

I realize this is a low number of symbols either way. Is this even an optimization worth worrying about?

It is not worth worrying about. But make sure that you select "File >> Reconnect" after you make changes in order to force the Status Bar to update for the current situation.

All of the places to look for symbols are listed in the documentation you referenced initially, so we can not point to any other place to look.
