You can easily write a script to change a charts Symbol. This script can be assigned  CTRL  or  ALT keys.

PS  why not just drag the new Symbol from Market Watch directly to the chart ie with the mouse. 

 
Press enter and type in the symbol you want; you can also scroll instantly to a specific date

Can I use only one key to show the symbol upwards, and another key for downwards accoring to the "market watch" table?

Can you help me to write the script? If it is possible, It is more easy to change the symbol by key board than mouse.

One option would be to create an array of symbols within the script  and attach the script to an ALT key which would cycle through the array of symbols and execute on the single chart

ie

ChartSetSymbolPeriod(currentChartID,symbolArrayA[i],currentChartTimeframe);

Thank you. Would you help me to write the complete script?
