Metatrader - Periods

Hello,

Is there a way to make MT4 show X number of bars on a chart? Or an indicatior that can do it?

For example if I want too look at the last 200 bars regardless of time period, I just want the last 200 or 300 or whatever number of bars, etc.


Thank You.

It's not possible, as far as I know, at least the way you're describing it.

However, you could do any or all of:

1. adjust the entire MT4 window size;
2. drag the little gray triangle, at the top right of the screen, leftward;
3. 'block out' the left part of the window by applying any of Market Watch (Ctrl-M), Navigator (Ctrl-N) or Data Window (Ctrl-D) at the left of the screen, and adjust its width by dragging it;

to ensure that the required number of candles is being displayed, for the current zoom level.

Alternatively, you could write a script/indicator to simply draw a box around the last X candles, or a vertical line through the chart X candles ago.

WindowBarsPerChart() tells you the number of bars on the chart...

Thank you.
