Stocks, funds, ETFs, commodites, indexes and currencies are all easy to view on your Watchlist.
The last couple of days I've showed which commodities, Canadian indexes and international indexes you can add to your Watchlist. Today, we'll look at currencies.
The most popular will be the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar , but we have many others for the U.S. and around the world. These ones are the most frequently updated:

Full warning: The five-day charting functionality is working for the FX symbols in Watchlist, but if you click on the currency symbol or the five-day chart in Watchlist it won't take you to a quote page or a larger chart. This click-through functionality isn't working right now.
There are more currencies, but these ones are not updated after market hours (yes, there is some duplication between the above list of frequently-updated currencies and the list directly below). You can click through to large charts from this list:
