Indicators overlapping or squeezing together

  • #1
  • First Post: Edited 7:12pm Sep 20, 2018 6:45pm | Edited 7:12pm
Newer PC's can sometimes cause MT4 indicators to overlap or squeeze together; as shown in the image (red arrow).

I can change MT4's DPI scaling (green arrow) by ticking "override" and selecting "system" or "system (enhanced)", the result is the image at the blue arrow.

However, whilst this indi has been corrected, other aspects of charts (such as line indicators) lose their sharpness. That is, correcting one indi causes problems with others, and vice-versa.

Do you have a solution that both removes the "overlapping or squeezing" (red arrow) but also maintains overall chart sharpness?

Thank you.

Override must be set for "system" instead of "application".

Dear PeterE,

This is just a spacing issue, easily fixed by editing the mq4 values for the current spacing points used. If you can provide a mq4 I am happy to make the adjustment.

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

Yes I know. I set it for "system" or "system (enhanced)" as explained post 1.

Or you can get a MT4 friendly monitor!

In my case a 27 inch 3840x2160 monitor squeezed and stacked all indicators, but a 34 Inch 3440 x 1440 displayed MT4 perfectly.
