Mt4 newb here,
how does one save the way a screen looks?- not a screenshot, but some programs call it layout, workspace or template.

I want all the charts lined up a certain way, and for them to pop up that way when i click x, then another way when i click y.

Also is there a way to change a charts pairs instead of opening up an entirely new chart? basically for the pair showing to disappear and be replaced by another pair.

EDIT-
more q

is there a way to enlarge the numbers on the scale? aside from adjusting screen sizing?

is there a way to get a synopsis of the point the crosshair is on but having it located inside the chart but not on or near the crosshair? like a little box that you can show o/h/l/c/volume, and whatever?

thank you.

File > profiles > save as...

You can create many different profiles and switch between them by pressing the key F5 (go to next profile) and Shift+F5 (go to previous profile).

Hmmm I don't think so...

Right click in screen>template or you may want to change the screen properties.

Profiles, as Ricardo stated

Not really. You can open a new chart and apply the template to it.

No, I researched this on MQL4.com ( I'm bored right now)

Yes. But you better get some cash ready if you really need this feature!
thank you.
Bottom Line: The help menu in MT4 is very good place to start. When you know all that stuff MQL4.com has more advanced examples to learn programming from. There are many good sources for info in the MetaTrader forum and by looking at the many examples produced by members here at FF.

If you have the market watch window open you can grab any pair with the left mouse button and drag it to the open chart. The chart will change to that pair.

You can also hit the space bar in your open chart and a small box will open in the lower left where you can change pairs, times, go to a certain point and a couple of other things if I remember right.

If you use the name default when naming a template then all charts you open will use that template to start with.
