MT4 Technical question.....is it possible?

Is it possible to change a chart that you have open to a different pair by simply typing in the symbol for the new pair? I can't find any provision for doing this.

Often when I have been testing and setting up a chart with various indicators, values etc, I wish to quickly view several different pairs using that precise template. At the moment, the only way I can find to do this is:-

i) Save the layout by creating and naming it in ‘Template’.
ii) Click on ‘New Chart’ icon and click on the selected pair to produce a new chart.
iii) Click on ‘Template’ icon.
iv) Click ‘Load Template’.
v) Click on the chosen template.
vi) Click ‘Open’

Am I missing a shorter way of doing this? Many platforms only require the new symbol entering or carry out procedure ii) above. All comments would be appreciated.

Save the desired template to : default.tpl
Though not the best way, but it can meet your requirement.

Once you have the chart open. Open the sidebar that contains the pairs. It has the name, current rate and is usually green or red. All you need to do is click and drag the symbol to an open chart and that chart changes to the symbol you dragged onto it.

Hope that can help

You can also double click over the far left date under the chart and enter a new pair.

Simply press 'enter' has the same result.

You guys are great! 3 different ways and each one makes it easier and quicker. Thanks to each of you, it is much appreciated.
