MT4 Showing Trades!

Hi

I'm quite new to MT4 and wanted to know if there is a way to show automatically on the Price chart entered trades - and if so HOW ?

I attach a screen shot (from OANDA) what I mean.

Yellow arrow Sell Entry - Green dot TP

Thanks MJ

The trade as a green line and the SL and TP lines as Red have always shown on my MT4. I don't believe that you have to select it as an option. The lines are automatically put in place.

Thanks for your reply. I see such lines only when the order is open and it does not show anywhere on the Price chart at what point in time it was.

maybe it is just not possible?

I don’t think what you’re saying is possible. But you can use the platform as you do with a paint file. Juts explore it and you’ll find how to write on it, how to make lines and stuff

Hi
Try this operation which is the first idea i can give u to locate the levels of your trade:
MT4 platform---- Tools----Options---- Trade--- Check the box "Show Trade Level"
It'll display the entry lines of the trade opened or waiting in LIMIT.
take care

i think what he means is they still appear after they are closed....so it'd be similar to what happens in MT4 when you're backtesting. no, it's not built in, but i'm sure someone's already written an indicator for that, and if not, can easily write one yourself.

After you close your trade, open up your terminal and drag and drop onto your chart. It shows entry and exit arrows connected by a dotted line just as it does in backtests. No need for scripts.

in case someone will read this topic, you can drag them all at once by holding shift key, just select any closed order from account history, holding shift drag to the chart... but cant say how to remove this if needed

Go to this thread for information on how to re-compile old mql4 files using an older build.

Otherwise, here's the compiled indicator:

Personally, I use hanover's Trades History indicator, but since hanover's no longer maintaining his code since MT4's new builds, here's the compiled indicator in case you're interested:
