+# Pepperstone US - Symbol Setup Guide
+
+## Finding Correct Symbol Names in MetaTrader 5
+
+### Step-by-Step Instructions:
+
+1. **Open Market Watch Window**
+   - Press `Ctrl+M` or go to `View > Market Watch`
+
+2. **Show All Symbols**
+   - Right-click in the Market Watch window
+   - Select `Show All` or `Symbols`
+   - This shows all available symbols from your broker
+
+3. **Search for Your Symbols**
+   - Use the search box in the Market Watch window
+   - Search for: "AAPL", "MSFT", "NVDA", "TSLA", "BTCUSD", "XAUUSD"
+
+4. **Note the Exact Symbol Name**
+   - The symbol name shown in Market Watch is what you need to use
+   - Common formats for Pepperstone US:
+     - Stocks: `AAPL.US`, `MSFT.US`, `NVDA.US`, `TSLA.US`
+     - Or: `NASDAQ:AAPL`, `NASDAQ:MSFT`, etc.
+     - Or: Just `AAPL`, `MSFT`, etc. (if available)
+
+5. **Add to Market Watch**
+   - Double-click the symbol to add it to your Market Watch
+   - Or right-click and select `Show`
+
+6. **Update EA Inputs**
+   - Open the EA inputs in MetaTrader 5
+   - Update each symbol parameter with the exact name from Market Watch
+
+## Common Pepperstone US Symbol Formats
+
+### US Stocks:
+- **Apple**: `AAPL.US` or `NASDAQ:AAPL` or `AAPL`
+- **Microsoft**: `MSFT.US` or `NASDAQ:MSFT` or `MSFT`
+- **NVIDIA**: `NVDA.US` or `NASDAQ:NVDA` or `NVDA`
+- **Tesla**: `TSLA.US` or `NASDAQ:TSLA` or `TSLA`
+
+### Cryptocurrencies:
+- **Bitcoin**: `BTCUSD` or `BTC/USD` or `BTCUSD.c`
+
+### Precious Metals:
+- **Gold**: `XAUUSD` or `GOLD` or `XAU/USD`
+
+## Important Notes:
+
+1. **Symbol Names are Case-Sensitive**: Use exact capitalization
+2. **Add Symbols to Market Watch**: Symbols must be in Market Watch for the EA to access them
+3. **Check Trading Hours**: US stocks trade during US market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET)
+4. **CFD vs Stock**: Pepperstone offers CFDs on stocks, not actual stocks
+5. **Spread**: Check the spread for each symbol - some may have wider spreads
+
+## Troubleshooting:
+
+### If Symbol Not Found:
+1. Check if you're connected to Pepperstone US server
+2. Verify your account type supports the symbol
+3. Contact Pepperstone support for symbol availability
+4. Check if symbol requires special account permissions
+
+### If EA Shows "Symbol Not Available":
+1. Make sure symbol is added to Market Watch
+2. Verify symbol name matches exactly (including dots, colons, etc.)
+3. Check broker connection status
+4. Try different symbol format variations
+
+## Testing Symbols:
+
+You can test if a symbol works by:
+1. Opening a chart with that symbol
+2. If chart opens successfully, the symbol name is correct
+3. Use that exact symbol name in the EA inputs
