When i first started using MT4 i found it restricting not having a large tick chart. The market watch tick chart is too small and if you drag it across a large monitor it only shows a section on the left of the chart, not the whole thing. Also, the market watch window doesn't show trade levels. So i have come up with the attached. It shows trade levels like a normal chart, but works in the indicator window, it also shows horizontal gridlines (with custom grid distance).
Enjoy!

Hi rooicol,
Thanks for sharing the indicator. But why i chart doesn't display the bid/ask price in large font like yours on the top left?

Hi Rooicol,
Thanks for posting this. Would you mind uploading the mq4 source file?
I was wondering:
1. Is it possible to lock the scale from expanding and contracting?
2. Just have the bid price or ask price on the chart not both?
3.To superimpose a say a 200 tick moving average over the price chart?
What about saving the tick data to an offline chart then it could be called up as a regular chart ? I have considered dong this but I'm not sure if MT4 will cope with having more than one data point at the same datetime.
The advantage of this approach would be that the data already accumulated isn't lost when the indicator is taken off the chart.
