Hello there, I am trying to do some backtesting on Metatrader. But one thing I am trying to find out is how to move the chart one candle at a time. just using right arrow key moves like 5-10 candles at a time.

F12 moves a chart 1 candle at a time.

For those who are using Windows 10, u just click fn+f12 simultaneously. f12 only doesn't work, it de-activates/activates the Wifi detection on your PC.

I guess you can use the page up and page down keys on your keyboard. The page down key will move the chart one candle to the right, while the page up key will move the chart one candle to the left.
