I'm about to shoot my screens...

.............because I have a totally head-melting issue with MT4 charting.
All I want to do is move my entire chart up and down. I don't mean expand or contract it, just click, hold and move the screen up and down. Seemingly simple? Indeed. Bizarrely, even possible on some of my charts, but, frustratingly, not on others. Why is MT4 so brilliant in so many ways, yet, when it comes to the really simple stuff it's seemingly designed by a moron?
Please, Lord, let somebody out there hear this plea for help.

Thanks, but (unfortunately) I've tried that.
If I click scale fix, then amend the maximum and minimum figures, everything appears fine. Unfortunately, after a few moments of chart-moving freedom, it defaults back to the original max/min. settings.
It's going to have to die.

One of the reasons why I prefer Ninja charts.

I know what you mean. I want this function badly too and I haven't figured any good solution out. I hate the scale fix because you have to constantly keep changing the scale every couple of hours. It pisses me off to not be able to see my TP/SL levels sometimes without zooming out.

It's also pissing me off that I accidentally adjusted the navigator window to lay horizontal rather than vertical and I can't change it back. I even go into the Window - Tile Vertically option and it doesn't do anything. PITA

Pull the navigator window off the MT4 platform. Squeeze it together. Pull it back to the left side of the chart screen. It will re-attach vertical to the side.
