Show ask line not working in MT4

I go to tools > options > charts tab, and check the 'show ask line'.

But nothing appears on my charts. Any idea what could be the problem?

You must set it on chart directly (right click > Properties) then enable "show ask line".

thanks

I'm using MT4 on my Mac, and I've tried getting the asked line to show up using both methods and it still doesn't show up. I see the asked price highlighted on the price axis of the chart.

Double check that the value of the ask, seen in the market watch, should also be seen on the zoom level you're at, ie if you're zoomed out far enough or the chart price range is large enough, the spread will be so visually thin that the bid/ask lines will overlap and show only the bid.

I've heard of display/color issues with mt4 on mac, so if you still have an issue, attached is an indicator that will just show a horizontal line as the ask.

Thank you very much. I got it working.

What did you do?
