First post and first question.

Hi everybody.
I have a question to ask and i hope somebody will anwser me,even if it is a strange one.
I don't understand how to properly resize the metatrader 4 graph to make it look like the one in this site.I'm really interested to learn the methods explained on that site and it's really frustrating to be blocked by a stupid thing like the graphic of the chart.
As of now i'm trading without a real system or strategy,a part form fibonacci and some indicators,as i'd want to explore the system explained in that site.
So please:can someone explain me how to get a chart similiar to the one he uses?
btw this is the chart that i get if i try to use 1:1 scale:

it's strictly a problem of graphics...nonetheless an hard one.

See the right side of the window, the area where the price is listed vertically?

Click and hold the mouse over the price column, then drag your mouse vertically to scale the graph
Oh, and you zoom in and out using + and - keys.

The screen is not 1*1, it's the standard form-fit. The rectangles are not square, and the spaces above and below the price are evenly matched.
I checked: You could, too, in 'tools'. Take the option of changing your max bars in chart, redownload the EUR/USD's 30' data from history center for several hundred thousand bars, and close and open the platform to check July 2007; one danger of this is a gap of days forming on the chart where there wasn't one before, in which case you have to download a new platform from the broke r and move all your old indicators, templates, etc., from the old files.
Next of course, you change the color of the property named 'grid' to blue and then insert the overlapping Gann Grid.

If you want a decent 1*1:
Some broke rs offer an MT4 platform that fits a 1*1-scale chart's data onto one screen. (Don't ask me why there's the difference.)
On In.'s, it works on the 1' and 5' and does somewhat of a good job on the 15', 30' and 1 hour. Sometimes, the 1*1 gets 'caught' onto too wide of a set of bars and you have to unfix the 1*1 and then put it on again so it looks okay.

Dragging the mouse on the vertical price scale doesn't work on the 1*1. Instead, you drag the screen. Different thinking, took me a while to get used to it.

thank you for the clarification.
i really cant understand why he wrote about 1:1 if he doesn't use it...

btw i just want to know how to plot a damn gann grid on a chart....
i don't care about the ratio for itself....

so ,in other words:do someone know a site or a thread where i can learn how to plot and use a gann grid ?

i'm not finding a way to use gann on mt4....it's ridiculous

Please I need a EMA8 & EMA21 crossover indicator with mobile notification on all Time Frames!

its a nice reply with lots of new information , really got some more fine lines , thanks for your nice post.
