Build and manage workspaces¶

This guide shows you how to use Local MCP to set up a multi-chart workspace tailored to a specific trading session or strategy, then save it for reuse.

1. Maximise the charting area¶

Hide panels so you have as much room as possible for charts.

Hide panels to maximise my chart view.

2. Open charts for your symbols¶

Populate the workspace with the symbols and periods you want to monitor.

Open a chart for EURUSD on H1.

Open a chart for GBPUSD on H1.

Open a chart for USDJPY on H1.

Open a chart for XAUUSD on H1.

Each chart opens as a new tab.

3. Apply templates and indicators¶

Give every chart a consistent look by applying a template, then add any additional indicators.

Apply the template 'Clean setup' to all open charts.

Add a 50-period and 200-period SMA to every open chart.

4. Set up Market Watch¶

Configure Market Watch to match the symbols you are monitoring.

Switch Market Watch to the watchlists view.

Or manage symbols individually:

Add EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and XAUUSD to my 
'Session Watch' watchlist.

5. Open Active Symbol Panel¶

Activate ASP so you can quickly view depth of market or symbol details as you switch between charts.

Open Active Symbol Panel.

Switch Active Symbol Panel to the depth of market tab.

6. Save the workspace¶

Once everything is arranged, save the workspace so you can load it again later.

Save the current workspace as 'London Session'.

The next time you want this exact setup, load it in one step:

Load the workspace called 'London Session'.

7. Manage your workspaces¶

Over time you may accumulate workspaces you no longer need.

Show me all available workspaces.

Delete the workspace called 'Old Setup'.
