What about a zooming scripts ???? ( Use script once to zoom in/out all opened charts at once ) ???
I want this too.

There are 6 zoom levels in MT4.

Is there a script that changes the zoom level (+ and -) on all open charts?

(Instead of zooming one chart at a time)

Many thanks

Very nice Saving a script per TF (different default in each), removing the "show inputs" and set a hotkey for each will be like 1-click !
Hi FerruFX

Can you teach me how to do that?
What I can do is change the input in meta editor, save the script with different names i.e ChangeTemplateAllForTemplate1, and so on, then put it all in the scripts folder in MT4.
So I ended up having so many similar scripts with different names that I set hotkeys for each.

Your way to do it clearly would be more simpler. Thank you so much for your help.

best regards

None of those "Change all timeframe" indicators were working for me. Apparently due to certain updates in latest Mt4. So I did a search on the internet and removed this line from the code

Inserted Code
#property show_inputs

And it works now!

I've attached the file along.

Hi Vipul,

The code for this is quite old and it was originally a workaround using the win32 api, but there's no longer a need for potentially dangerous dll imports anymore since MT has implemented internal functions for manipulating charts. Here are a couple of safe options I whipped up...

  1. Toggle TF by iterating through the available timeframes (quick because no pop-up input window)
  2. Selects TF by a selection in the input window.

Thank you Nicholishen, I liked the SelectTF for convenience over entering numbers but ToggleTF seems useless as you don't usually go from M1 to M5 to M15. Infact, if it would've scaled down that would be better as I believe everyone looks at higher timeframes first and then go down.

If I had to throw ideas on the wall, I would really like if somehow I could press the regular TF buttons on one chart and the timeframe switches for all charts. Or if I could click on the script like ToggleTF and it changes the timeframe of all charts to the one on the current chart. For example, I switch the timeframe to M1 on current chart and click on the script in the navigator and all other charts switch to M1.

I'm not a programmer though so feel free to deny my requests if I asked for too much.

Here you go Vipul.K. Script now changes TF in descending order. Wasn't difficult went into MetaEditor and reversed the order of time frames. Nicholishen, thank you very, very much for the script!

Can anyone modify this script slightly?

The script currently changes All symbols on the terminal to a chosen timeframe.

Is it possible to amend so it would only change All symbols on a single TF on the terminal.

Example: 2 scripts would be needed.

1. For D1 symbols only, change all to H4
2. For H4 symbols only, change all to D1

This would leave all W1 charts on the terminal unaffected by the script, meaning you can just cycle the lower TF's.

after that 5mints it will be revert M5 chart

Thanks in advance....

How can I modify the original script (change timeframe all . mq4) such that it only changes timechart on the current chart, and not all of the other open charts?

My own solution:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| ChangeTF-All.mq4 |
//| Copyright 2010, zznbrm |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#property copyright "Copyright 2010, zznbrm"
#property show_inputs
#import "user32.dll"
int PostMessageA(int hWnd,int Msg,int wParam,int lParam);
int GetWindow(int hWnd,int uCmd);
int GetParent(int hWnd);
#import
#define GW_HWNDFIRST 0
#define GW_HWNDNEXT 2
#define WM_COMMAND 0x0111
extern int eintTF = PERIOD_D1;

int start()
{
bool blnContinue = true;
int intParent = GetParent( WindowHandle( Symbol(), Period() ) );
int intChild = GetWindow( intParent, GW_HWNDFIRST );
int intCmd;

switch( eintTF )
{
case PERIOD_M1: intCmd = 33137; break;
case PERIOD_M5: intCmd = 33138; break;
case PERIOD_M15: intCmd = 33139; break;
case PERIOD_M30: intCmd = 33140; break;
case PERIOD_H1: intCmd = 35400; break;
case PERIOD_H4: intCmd = 33136; break;
case PERIOD_D1: intCmd = 33134; break;
case PERIOD_W1: intCmd = 33141; break;
case PERIOD_MN1: intCmd = 33334; break;
}

// if ( intChild > 0 )
// {
// if ( intChild != intParent ) PostMessageA( intChild, WM_COMMAND, intCmd, 0 );
// }
// else blnContinue = false;

// while( blnContinue )
// {
// intChild = GetWindow( intChild, GW_HWNDNEXT );

// if ( intChild > 99 )
// {
// if ( intChild != intParent ) PostMessageA( intChild, WM_COMMAND, intCmd, 0 );
// }
// else blnContinue = false;
// }

// Now do the current window
PostMessageA( intParent, WM_COMMAND, intCmd, 0 );
}

Hi All,

I understand this thread is created for MT4, but is there any one who have the same version to change all windows (different TFs) to same pair in MT5?
If you perhaps have this information, please help. Thanks before.

1/ The user can change either ALL the open Windows or just the Window the Script is loaded onto.
2/ If the Symbol input is left blank the current Symbol will be used.
3/ The time-frames for each Window will remain unchanged.
NOTE : You cannot change the name or it will not work.

After coding the MT5 script I thought it might be helpful to make a MT4 version of the script.
