Hi David......I have just discovered and read your excellent post for help with navigating the MT4 platform, which lists certain features that are not readily obvious from the very comprehensive tutorial. The info contained in your post provides a tremendous shortcut to mastering the platform quickly to anyone unfamiliar with it. Thank you for sharing.
I have just downloaded the MT4 software, set up my charts and generally played around with it and so far no problems. However, there are three items that you (or anyone else reading this post) may be able to shed some light on:-
i) Is it possible to increase the point size of the vertical price readout at right hand side of chart?
ii) The 4 Toolbars I have set up at the top of charting will automatically open up and appear on each chart I switch to. However, after closing the program and restarting, the Toolbars are missing, so do you know of any way of setting them to remain there and appear every time by default?
iii) Is there any way of getting the crosshair to stay on, even after clicking on the chart. When manually backtesting, you are constantly clicking and dragging, either to scroll (which can be done via keyboard), or point-to-point for price and pips readout etc. The way the software is written, each click of the chart cancels the crosshair, which then requires reactivating each time and can be quite annoying.
I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
