I added a 2nd symbol, but it doesn't show on the chart

I am adding:

Add("$USDJPY", PeriodType.Hour, 1);

It completes and even downloads the history, but it doesn't show on the chart. Is there another call I have to make?

The chart will only show the primary instrument. If you want to see the $USDJPY you can either open a second chart or have that as your primary instrument.

Even though it is not charted you can program against that bar series though through multi-instrument strategies.

Ah I see, I wonder if I could create a user data series from the 2nd symbol and show that on the same chart, in essence hacking around this limitation?

Mmm. You could try, but you will need to essentially custom draw the second chart onto the first or maybe in a second panel. It'll be a hack job. Good luck.
