The function is similar to [SymbolsTotal()](/en/docs/marketinformation/symbolstotal). However, it returns the number of all symbols including [custom](/en/docs/customsymbols) ones and the ones disabled in [MarketWatch](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/trading/market_watch).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Example:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
|
|||
|
|
# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
|
|||
|
|
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
|
|||
|
|
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
|
|||
|
|
if not mt5.initialize():
|
|||
|
|
print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
|
|||
|
|
quit()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# get the number of financial instruments
|
|||
|
|
symbols=mt5.symbols_total()
|
|||
|
|
if symbols>0:
|
|||
|
|
print("Total symbols =",symbols)
|
|||
|
|
else:
|
|||
|
|
print("symbols not found")
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
|
|||
|
|
mt5.shutdown()
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
