Hi I am new to meta trader and I am trying to find a way to add a line between 2 points or candles that doesn't give a horizontal line across the whole chart. Thanks

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know in which file are stored the last opened currency pair windows? My problem is that i put a buggy indicator onto a currency pair window and since that my MT4 hangs. Unfortunately it remembers the last opened currency pair windows and when I restart it, it hangs again and again.
How can I get rid from the last opened windows or is it possible to start from the scratch somehow?
Thank you in advance.

Why don't you delete the buggy indicator from the indicator list via explorer, then restart MT4.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Because in these situations not only the program hangs but sometimes me also... :-)
Thank you, your solution is trivial, I was a little confused...
Have a nice weekend :-)

Is there a platform where you can access and trade with any borker? i.e. All Brokers in one platform?

Like for example, the platform shows the EURUSD bid and ask of all brokers and everytime you trade, youc an choose which broker to take your trade.

Any links to such platoform will be appreacited.

It's not exactly what your looking for but it's the closest thing I can think of.

I hope I am in the right place for this.

I am trying to figure out a hot key system for MT4.

Something like CTRL-SHIFT-B to make a buy or sell, something like that.

I am trying a prog called keyboard express and while it seems ok it does not really work well to set SL and TP at the time the trade is setup.

I know in this market speed is key and I am loosing a lot.

Is there built in functions or can you recommend a better key program?

You can assign a hotkey to any indy, script or EA. Press Ctrl-N to get MT4's Navigator. Click to open the appropriate tree. Then right-click, and click 'set hotkeys'. Then you can assign any Ctrl-key and Alt-key combos to any items that you wish.

So now you need some scripts, indys, EAs to assign the hotkeys to? You might like to start your search here.

Very useful thread.

Is there a setting for displaying order lines? They show up in demo but not in live.

Click on Tools/Options then click on the "Charts" tab, then put a check mark in the "Show Trade Levels" box and then click "OK" then you should be good to go.

Hmm. Already checked. Maybe checking and unchecking will do the trick.

Thanks for the tip!

Hit F8 and bring up the chart properties and make sure your stop levels etc are not set to the same color as the background.

Is there a way to setup a watchlist and cycle through it? Right now all I have are a lot of tabs of charts at the bottom but this can be difficult if I want to have 2 screens open at the same time for a certain pair.

I set up a "Profile" for each pair I trade. I can handle four open charts on a 22", 55.88 cm monitor. Then cntrl+f5 to scroll forward shift+f5 to scroll back.

So I have daily, 4h, 1h, 15m, charts.
