MT4 on Microsoft Surface Pro

I'm having a challenge with the resolution on my Surface Pro. My indicators, candles, & buttons for indicators on my charts are all to small. I'm thinking it has something to do with the resolution settings. I was hoping someone here might be familiar with using Surface Pro & MT4.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

try this fix

  1. Right-click the shortcut icon of application (MT4) you want to adjust
  2. Select ‘Properties’ (If the icon is in the taskbar, you will have to right-click the second app icon)
  3. Select the ‘Compatibility‘ tab
  4. Select ‘Change high DPI settings‘ at the bottom of the tab
  5. Check ‘Override high DPI scaling behavior‘ at the bottom
  6. Select ‘System (Enhanced)‘ from the drop down
  7. Select ‘OK‘ and then ‘OK‘ again to apply
  8. Launch the application to see the difference

The above fix posted by NickBixy work perfectly regarding the resolution challenge I was having however, it now caused another challenge after the fix was completed...

I now have another issue. In the properties of indicators such as a Horizontal Line that allow you to switch to the different line types like dotted, or dash, etc it no longer gives the options of the other line types it is only giving the straight line for all the line options & another thing even my order line on the chart appears as a straight line & not the regular lime dot-dash line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Can anyone here help with attaching custom indicators on Microsoft Surface Pro?
I have always done it on a normal laptop, through the data folder route.
But I am unable to do the same on Surface Pro.

Thank you

I don't have one but I'm just curious. I see it runs Windows 11, so do you have access to the normal File Explorer to navigate the usual folder structure?

Your question is very open ended without details, very hard to visualize exactly where you are stuck?

Can you access Market and install purchased indicators?

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