Rodhuy,

Press Ctrl-N to open the Navigator, then open the Indicators tree.

-- To put indicator in new sub-window, right click on it, and click on "Attach to chart".

-- To put indicator in same sub-window as an already plotted indicator, drag it into the same sub-window. If you want the indicator to be a derivative of the indicator already plotted (e.g. to get a moving average of an RSI), set "Apply to:" to "First indicator's data". Otherwise set "Apply to:" to "Close" (or whatever).

For more MT4 tips and techniques, see here.

thnx Dave, easy when you know how. just drag onto existing indicator. cant get easier than that. now i know. cheers.

let me ask you one more question: is there anyway to make the price data on the right hand side of the graph bigger? i like to sit back from the screen to see the charts better, but then the prices are too small to read. any way to makke them bigger??

cheers

thnx Titus, but i had a look at that indicator, installed it, and cant work out what it does. nothing shows up on the screen at all?? looked inside it, didnt make any changes excpet for the colour black to other colours, but nothing showed up on the screen anywhere. whats it meant to do.?

i put it in the \experts\indicators folder. suspect thats right?

what i want is somehow to make the x-axis (or is it y-axis?) where the prices are shown on right hand side, larger.

is there a way. does this indicator do this or something similar. anyway i couldnt get it do to anything to my screen. but it must do something.

can you elaborate more on it or my issue.

cheers Rod

Hi Rod,

Sorry, I don't know of any way to do this, other than adjusting the resolution of your monitor. I also use an indicator similar to what Titus has provided.

Agreed, screen resolution is the only way to make the numbers larger. I've found color combinations can make them easier to read. Changing the background and foreground may help.

Hi Titus. Just tried it and it worked. I used the ma from standard indis , not custom and changed 'apply to' to 'previous indicator'. Also you need to drag the ma over the momentum box before letting go of left mouse key. hope this helps.

David, hope you get this message -- it has been 2 years since you made the above post. I have applied a moving average to the OsMA data in an OsMA indicator window. I want to sense the values of the MA from a MQL program. I can read the OsMA values using iOsMA. I cannot find how to read the MA values in the OsMA window. Can's seem to get to them with an iCustom call. Any ideas??

Thank you.
