MT4 navigational tips and techniques

Quoting Yahoo
On MT4 I am just trying to on the Fib retracement tool have it so it also does 76.8 like on some other brokers software. My MT4 does, 23.6, 38.2, 50.0, 61.8 but no more.

I can't find an answer anywhere.
Would love a tip please.
And you can make it show the Extensions also, have a play with it, you can break it

Depending how I zoom in or out or different time frames, the price on the right side of the chart changes intervals, how do you make it so it is at round number, eg EUR/USD, 1.3600, 1.3650, 1.3750, 1.3800 etc

Thank you in advance. Been banging my head on a brick wall.
Rather than worry about the price on the scale, you might like to plot the even number levels on the chart, this is what I use

Scenario:

I am one of the worlds largest brokers, I have been in business for years, making money from 95% of the traders who fail, but i am greedy, i want as much from the other 5% as possible, how do i do it?

Heres how!!

I set up a strategy programming competition, i invite users to programme and test strategies on the MT4 platform, it could be the precise reason the MT4 platform was developed!, whilst the winner gets 10 grand, what do i get.


Precise trading details and the code to counter act it, i then write specific instructions...

I am shorting EU/AUD and on charting it cross TP but they don't gave any score (or I may not know the setting yet) but when the shadow not even touch my SL (as broker put buffer of 30 pips) they took the money.

The most important retracement on Fibo is 38.2., 50 and 61.8 and to the best of my knowledge 23.6 and 76.4 not strong for swing lo and hi indicator, but some times 23.6 retracement it good for entry in tandem with Stoch and RSI.

Allan,

The font and color of comments, and also the text displayed in the chart headers and axes, can't be changed, short of modifying your screen resolution as set by Windows.

A possible alternative is to use an indicator like the one I wrote below.

Hi guys..

I want to make the multi-price lines on the chart.

for example, at the every .00 price(1.37000, 1.38000, 1.39000 and so on), I'd like to draw multi-horizental-price line in order to recognise easy the price moving.

I've tried on using with grid, however, I can't see any proper function.

Is there anyone who knows about this?

thanks.

Indicators posted, many variety out there, use GOOGLE. Also, play with these, F8, then set the Foreground color the same as Background to eliminate those numbers!

Hope that helps, John

I wish there was any way to make the crosshair in MT4 a default option...

Sadly that's not possible, but you can always click your mouse wheel to instantly turn the crosshairs on, and then left click to turn them off.
hi I use an indicator called ' spaced lines ' but have no idea where I got it from or how to get it to you it is MetaQuotes Lang and places the lines at 20 pip spaces if you like I can try to email it or maybe you can google it ...another one places whole numbers

Allan

Hi!

I'm trying to delete the text that appears in the MM lines in my charts. Is there a way to do that for a non tech person?

Thanks!!!

Hi Guys, am new here and also to MT4 programming and i cannot seem to start a new thread being a newbie lol!

anyway i have the following idea but need assistance to program it, it's basically a Price Action setup, no indicators required:

- Run a program at a set time ie: click on the program manually to start it whatever time i want
- specify it to follow a number of pair(s)
- to calculate the movement of the pairs, then add the price(s)
- if the price totals a certain number, to buy or sell
ie: if the number totals +200 pips to BUY the pair(s) or -200 pips to SELL the pair(s) ie: to act upon that and trade
- once the trade is in place to set a STOP LIMIT of a certain amount and for it to increment as the prices goes updown and then to close the trade once it hits the number specified ie: 50 pips TRAILING STOP

is this possible? if so how can i do it? where can i learn to program the above or find similar coding and just amend it to reflect the above? Many Thanks.
folks'
i have a dashboard that i would like to have on a MT4 window without the price chart. can i do that? i mean is it possible to have an empty MT4 window and just add an indicator to it?
any help will be greatly appreciated.
