Help! Duplicate a MT4 Chart

Dear all,

My trading involved looking at the same pair with 2 different timeframes simultaneously.

To do so, I have to mark trendlines and horizontal S/Rs on the first chart and copy one-by-one for the second chart of the pair.

Is there a duplication function in MT4, and so I don't have to repeat my lines marking?

many thanks,

kk007

How did you do this? Would you mind posting instructions?

Set up your first chart in the longer timeframe with all your lines set and then save that chart as a unique template - eur_mtf.tpl

Open up another fresh chart and switch to the shorter timeframe and right click anywhere in the chart and select the template option and your new template should be visible - just select that one and all lines should be there. You will now have MTFs with the same lines.

Then save this workspace as a unique profile so everything is in place whenever you want to work with that set of charts and lines.

Yes. I save the format as a template and open the template in a new chart, just like what PeterFM described.

PeterFM is so nice!

To get copies of templates you can also delete a chart and then reopen it several times with the command "Open deleted" (File Menue). Should also make the trick.

Hi,

I was searching for this type of functionality and came across this pair of scripts. Does the job perfectly.

So first off run the COPY script on your chart with the Trend-Lines etc.. you want to copy, then run the PASTE script on the other chart.

If you assign short-cut keys to each script (I use Alt-C and Alt-V) it takes a couple of seconds max.

Who ever made them... NICE ONE

You can also check what profile you are in, count the tabs (at the bottom of the page) from left to right to see which chart you want to duplicate, then go into windows explorer/program files and look for "profiles" in your mt4 folder. Just copy and paste the file (right into the same folder) with the chart# that you want to duplicate. It worked for me.

Hi
Thanks a lot for these indicators
Could you change these indicators that can select date of chart for copy that part ? For example ,I want to copy only some analysis from date 20.11.2015 to 20.12.2015?

Thanks a lot

Hello Traders

Can anyone of you let me know:
1. Is there a way to copy my mt4 charts with all my working on desktop/laptop to my mt4 mobile app? This would help me save alot of time and effort!
2. Is it possible to add notes on charts about what I am looking for in a particular chart? I work on multiple charts simultaneously. This way when I open a chart I can re-collect what I have been looking for in a particular pair!

Cheers

Post #1 - wow, I'll bet you didn't even check the User Manual.

Here's a tip, use Tradingview

Anyway, for MT4, here it is:
