Had my MT4 Platforms freeze on a VPS Thursday after a news event. I shut down and restarted the MT4 platforms and discovered all my EAs/indicators were not displaying correctly. Any advise please to rectify the issue

Could be a Windows issue or maybe a Font issue.

I would (re)-install Metatrader into the same folder; you can do that and not lose any Templates, etc.

If that doesn't work, just have to start fresh with a clean chart and install Indicators one by one, checking for the issue.

Good Luck

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

I suspect you are using a high resolution display (ie. 4k). If that's the case, close your platform ... then right click on the terminal.exe (or its shortcut) > Properties > Compatibility tab > Check "ovveride high DPI" and select it to "system". Apply ... Then restart your platform.

It generally solves the display issue.

Thank you for the advice. Posted a screen shot of the terminal.exe. Confirm I should click "Disable Display scaling on high DPI Settings?

Reinstalled a new terminal and reinstalled all the custom indicators. Still the same problem. Starting to think is a Windows Issue. Thanks all the same

That's not a Windows issue. That's a MT4 terminal setting due to the high resolution display of your screen.
