Quick MT4 Questions

  • #1
  • First Post: Apr 9, 2010 3:35pm Apr 9, 2010 3:35pm
I have a quick question about MT4. When ever I scroll the chart back (to the left) every time the price updates the chart brings me back to to the current bar.

Is there a way to stop this? (like working offline or something)

Also, while I'm asking questions about MT4 ... Can I format the data series? For example, can I set up the chart to only show April 2009 to May 2009?

Thanks

Yes. Go to the chart properties and uncheck the box that says Automatic Update (or something like that, sorry not at my trade desk).

Under Menu -> Charts -> Auto Scroll
OR
Click on the Green Arrow (looks like a play button) on the tool bar.

I knew it was auto-somethin'-er-other. Tells you how much I use MT4.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Now all I need to know is how to change the date range displayed on the chart ... if its possible. (I'm trying to manually backtest some systems, and would really like to go back a couple years ... and go month by month)

Press Enter on a chart and enter desired time to jump to, e.g. 2009.12.31

Thanks thats perfect!


I've got another question for you all. Is there a way to change the time displayed at the bottom of charts to your local time, rather than broker time?
