Trade Window Cell/Column Widths

lots of people say trading is SO FAST on the M1. i call BS. i'm so bored i generally keep the MT4 window on half the screen while watching tv and browsing on the other half, or sometimes i make it only a quarter of the screen, or i ignore it altogether at times when things are not to my liking and i'm waiting for things to come together to enter or exit a trade.

as i don't run mt4 fullscreen it is necessary to shrink the 'order, time, type, size, symbol...' etc trade window cell widths so that they all fit within my shrunken window. each time MT4 is started they default to being positioned such that they all appear only when MT4 is maximised.

this is a pain, and i dislike having to resize the trade window cell/column widths each time i open MT4. does anyone know of a workaround to having it keep the dimensions i drag them too? i suspect there isn't a way, but i can only ask.

is it like this.. sir?
if so...
if i took out that terminal windows...
every time i open up mt4 the terminal window will always on that position and size...

EDIT:
i was wrong...
i'm sorry sir..., what you mean is the column width, not the terminal window size...

yeah not the window size, the column widths. i just have to conclude that there is no easy way to get around this oversight in mt4.

You give up too easily....................

You can change the column widths, right click the bar & untick autoarrange.

Now hold mouse over each divider & slide the bar to change the size of each desired column.

you misunderstand... i want the positions to STAY that way each time i restart mt4. it resets the positions.

sir you can change the column width very easily by clickiny on the cell and then right click and select your option and then do your job and i think its too easy for you

Bandungs method will work, pull out the terminal window, it will then "float" allowing you to resize the floating window, columns etc. and they will remain where you left them on your screen when you restart MT4.

If all else fails, get another screen.................

i never got back to this thread, and just now remembered to...

shabs was right in saying that bandung was right. to me it's such an unobvious fix for my problem.

but yes, undocking the terminal window and then adjusting column widths results in those columns staying exactly that way, even after restarting mt4.

thanks guys... a lot late on my part.
