How to jump to a date/time in metatrader?

Say I want to see the 5min chart for May 15. How can I get there without scrolling through 100's of pages? I tried centering my daily chart on May 15 and then clicking 5min, but it seems to just jump to a random date (June 3). Am I missing some obvious option where I can just type in the date/time I want to view?

Here you go.

Moving directly to a certain date/time
To re-position immediately to a certain date, press Enter, then type in the date in the form DD.MM.YYand press Enter again. Leading zeros can be omitted (e.g. to move to 4 July 2005, type 4.7.5). To re-position to a certain date/time, use the format HH:MM or DD.MM.YY HH:MM (e.g. to position to 8:07am TODAY on a 1-min chart, simply type 8:7).


The reason it seems to jump to a random date when you move from the daily to the 5 min is because you don't have the 5 min data for that time.

I've attached a Word doc of MT4 navigational tips which I got from a post here at FF.

Is there a way to program a script to automate the Navigation box. ie. Jump to same time previous day.

Hi guys,

It is Evrim here.

I am very new to trading and Meta Trader4. I've recently started studying ICT and would like to jump back to the specific date he is using on his chart. I tried the search box and entering the date back to 2013, but nothing happens.

Has anyone had an issue like that? Can you help me?

Thanks
