An indicator called chart slideshow is what you need, I will have to get back to you.

Edit: Couldn't find the indicator I was looking for, but here is a better one, enabling you to switch symbols, and/or timeframes and with a draggable, adjustable timer & stop button.

Works even when markets are closed.

You have all 15 charts open or just the tabs ? and you want to cycle the timeframes on all the charts ?

I thought you had only one screen and wanted to scroll through your charts tab.

Don't really understand what you mean, sorry you will have to explain again.

Once you have set the tabs on your MT4 terminal, check your marketwatch tab (CTRL+M) and confirm your pairs are showing here.

If you have all pairs showing, then right click & Select Hide All. This should only show your 15 pairs now.

Add indicator to your open chart, in inputs it should say Source Marketwatch, in inputs you should have only Switch Charts as "True

and everything else is "False".

Manually that is the way to do it, with an automatic timer set by you , then use the indicator.

You can watch your charts without any effort.

One of the problems of the symbol changer indicator is that if you want to receive alerts based on several specific indicators in several currency pairs, this possibility is practically impossible because you only have one symbol and one chart.
For example, we want to receive an alert when two moving averages cross in gold and receive an alert if the RSI in EURUSD reaches above 80.
At the same time, we chose the GBPUSD currency pair for display
Practically, we never receive a signal

Your charts are still there under Tabs, so any alerts you have should still work.

You are only using a primary chart to do the slideshow, so you could have a "Dummy" one as a repeat Tab. ie. a 16th Chart with the indicator.

I used to use Ctrl+Tab also until I got this awesome mouse, the key being it is programmable! The Tab function also works for EDGE browser.

Nice....
But I usually trade one currency pair, sometimes 2 currency pairs per day, rarely 3 currency pairs per day.

Hello,
The problem is that you are opening different charts randomly. Unfortunately, this method cannot determine which chart is first, and it checks the order based on the last chart opened and the one before it.
The solution is to press the "Alt + R" button. This will arrange all the charts like tiles next to each other and reset the order of the opened charts. Then, enlarge the first chart located at the top left, and use "Ctrl + Tab" again. This time, the order will be reset, starting from the first chart.
Whenever the order gets mixed up, just repeat this process.
Have a great and profitable day!

YES YES YES finally someone understands, I posted about this before, with screenshots.

Bonus tip, use a programable mouse and it's even easier, I will search for those screenshots.
