Hello there,

Would you be so kind to post the answer if you have it ?
I am looking to do this for months but can't find how.
Actually not only do I like them thicker but closer togheher without zoom.

Thanks,

Sorry.. Could not find any new info on this ..

Looks like zoom is the only option ..

There is not a way in MT to do what I think it is you wish (fatter candles). However MT has many work-arounds if you dig a bit.This is my pseudo-bar almalgamator. If you go to F8-Properties of the chart you are working on and click the "Common" tab -> Scale Fix button you can zoom only on the x-axis ie, scrunch more candles together on the screen without zooming them larger on the price axis as well. Hope this helps a bit

You will need an indicator that overlays above the actual candles drawn by MT4. You can actually do that with heiken ashi but it will not be exactly the same candle.

Look around in the forum, there is probably such indicator existing somewhere

Thanks for the help and tips guys but the fixed axes is not really what I look for. The Ashi indicator might help, we'll see.
I'm really surprised that MT can't do this, I mean all great charting packages can do it easely like Tradestation and eSignal.

Thanks.

as I recall they have lots of options for displaying candles...

Try this one, I am not sure which forum I got it from. Anyway make sure you set the timeframe to the same time frame you are working with.
