Oanda MT4 not updating

Hi guys,

First time poster long time reader. I have contacted Oanda support already regarding this however they have not replied to me in a couple of weeks, so I thought I might poll the community.

I have Oanda - MT4 setup on my computer and everything seems to be working fine except for the Order screen, which won’t load any symbols. Picture attached for reference.

I’ve also permitted the terminal.exe through Windows firewall to no avail. Any other ideas, let me know.

Cheers
