Show Bid/Ask Lines?

Hi folks,

I know the MT4 charts have the option of showing the ASK line, but I can't find any way to show the BID line in addition to the ASK line, I'd like to see them both on my screen. Can it be done? Perhaps by an indicator?


Thanks!

You see Bid by default. If you check Ask line option then you see both.

In MT4 terminal which I use, BID line is price-line on chart. I think that most MT4 platforms are set to show BID line as a price line.

P.S Maybe I understood your question wrongly.
Main key to the success is knowledge of psychology.

... but I can't find any way to show the BID line in addition to the ASK line...
You should check if you have changed the background color, usually it is black by default with white bid line, if you have changed the background to white you won't be able to see the bid line unless you change the foreground to a contrasting color...

The color of the Bid line is selected by the Grid color in the Properties of the chart. The Ask line color is selected separately.

Thanks for the response and help everyone! I had the color set to "none" for the grid, not knowing it controlled the price line for the Bid.

Thank You Pipskateer. I have custom (very short) bid/ask indicator, but needed to turn off the full length bid.

Properties of the chart > Common Tab:

In the right bottom corner, you will see "Show ask line"
