Periodicity (Chart Period) Hotkeys?

Hi all,
Is there a way of cycling through all chart periods M1..MD.. using some hotkey?

I find it quite tediously slow having to click on each and every toolbar icon!

I just changed over to MT4 but I'm so used to pressing [CTRL][TAB] to
quickly cycle through all available chart timeframes.

cheers.

no not that I know of, you are stuck with the way you are doing it.

With some C or VB programming you might be able to rig something up. Toolbar buttons and menu items often have a simple number associated with them that they emit to the main window in the form of a WM_COMMAND window message. If you can use WinSpy to figure out what button has what number you can write a program in C or VB to capture your favorite key stroke and send the WM_COMMAND msg to MT4 with the right numbers for you.

A cycle type button for time frames might have sync issues in that it could skip a bunch of time frames the first time you press it, but each press immediately afterwards would be in-order.

Anyway, I seem to recall writing a program like this to simulate the user pulling up some dialog or another in MT4 (can't remember exactly), so I'm pretty certain the general fake WM_COMMAND technique works on MT4.
