MT4/MT5 Zoom on Charts with the Mouse Wheel free utility

Hi,

I've made an utility to zoom in the MT4/MT5 charts with the mouse wheel. I think it's so handy that I decided to share it here.

Just run the program and you will see a tray icon meaning the program is running. So then, you will be able to zoom with the mouse wheel the same way you can do it pressing the "-" and "+" keys.

Hope it's useful for you.

Does anyone know how to stop MT4 from shifting around when zooming in and out. I'm trying to do backtesting and when I zoom out to see the overall trend the candlestick I am at shifts and it reveals the "future" moves.
not very useful for backtesting then.
any option to activate or anyway to pin the end of chart at a candlestick?



Thanks

You need to get the proper market replay feature

To answer my own question in case someone else is looking for it too,
There is a tiny light grey triangle at the very edge of the chart lower left edge.
select it and drag it to right side of the chart and chart is anchored to where that triangle is.
then when you zoom in or out the chart zooms in and out from left and does not move in the right end.

Trust me dude, the market replay feature on mt4 takes backtesting to another level, unlike what you're trying to do.
You can replay any date range at different speeds, pause it & even place simulated orders. There's even a trade
report that gives you stats on all the trades you took. Check out the free download at FXblue, thank me later...

running build 4.0 and doesn't seem to work for me either. I only use MT4 with Soft4FX for backtesting and use cTrader for my trading, and on that (as per trading view) you have to hold CTRL and scroll to zoom, and without CTRL it moves left to right, as MT4 does all the time. Anything I'm doing wrong here mate? Thanks

Try holding down the CTRL key and then Scroll

Works for me

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

I downloaded the file and it ran automatically after extracting it. It is very unusual so I deleted it immediately
Such files can be very destructive for our computers and accounts
Either install the mq4 file or the script

you need to edit the script yourself. First you need to convert this .exe to .ahk. Make sure you have Autohotkey program installed. Then using window spy included in AHK to find out and edit this:
Inserted Code
if (controlUnderCursor = "AfxFrameOrView140s1" OR controlUnderCursor = "AfxFrameOrView140s2")
to whatever appear on window spy. Look for Control under mouse position - copy the ClassNN and edit the code above.
