[sumitsinghal]

Hi All,

When i right click and select symbols. I am not able to see anything related to Crypto. Can you guide me the right steps.

Thanks

The symbols are related to the brokers: some brokers are proposing cryptos, some of them - not.

Where can I trade bitcoin though MT4?

There are some brokers for Bitcoin/USD for MT5 (I do not trade bitcoin for MT4 so I have no idea about MT4 broker for bitcoin):

Thanks Sergey. I have created the account and logged in.

I was only able to see two default MetaQuotes Broker while creating account. 

In the Windows app Under Meta Trader 5 . Common Tab, I can now see two accounts one Demo another mine. 

Still not able to figure out how to add a crypto broker.

You created account to MetaQuotes-Demo server, right?
And you are asking the broker 9wheere to create account to) to trade cyprocurrencies, right?

In this case - you should create account with the brokers (demo accounts for example).
read my posts above on the thread about how to create an account and how to find the servers of the brokers (by the way - I've already pointed the servers of the brokers proposing the cryptoes - look at my images above).

on Marketwatch window, right click on a symbol and click in that menu option "Show All".

The Symbols that will show depends on your broker. If your broker trades that Crypto Symbol, then, it will show up when you use Show All.

But if you are using the installer from this website, then, first stop. It is often beta version only. It is only for beta testing and often does not work, or prices and charts do not update for days. I have both heard/read about and personally seen the charts on it not work for a full week or longer.

Only use installer that you download from a broker.
