Hi folks,
Today we have two menu to talk about; Windows menu and Help menu.
 

Windows menu:

You use this menu (Figure 1) to manage the chart windows on you workspace, you can open new window and manage the already opened one from the Window menu.

 

These are the command available in this menu:

New Window:

This command is the same as the File -> New Chart command. You use it to open new chart window for a currency pair.
When you click the New Window command MetaTrader will prompt you with the currency sub-menu (Figure 2) to choose from it the currency you want to open a chart for it.

 

Note: The first commands in this sub menu are the common pairs, if you can't find the pair you want to open its chart in these commands click the Forex command and another list will be opened (Figure 3). If you still can't find the pair you want to open its chart you have to go to the Market Watch window and right click it and from the context menu choose Show All command (Figure 4).
