How can I set for drawings to snap? For example Fibonacci or Trendline, instead of guessing the top or bottom of the candle.

Second, can I get a line to appear across the screen for current price, like Oandas FxTrade and Dukascopy's JForex?

And if I draw Fibonacci or a Trendline on a larger timeframe, and move to a smaller timeframe, the drawing is no longer there; is there anyway to change that?

Thanks for the help, never use MT4 before and couldn't find these topics anywhere.

Also when you scroll, it automatically resizes candles.

I want to turn this feature off. Something which is doable in JForex.

1. Increase magnet sensitivity to place fibs trendlines automatically.

press CTRL + O, then objects tab, increase sensitivity, max is 50.


2. To stop charts resizing, press F8 then tick scale fix.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Thanks, however the sensitivity option didn't do anything for me.

It still pretty much lands the object wherever my mouse is instead of synching to the nearest Candle end point.

Look for the grip or small box on the object and drag it near a price bar. It will be aligned with the High, Low or Close depending on which is nearest. Works on trend lines and I think other objects as well.

Thanks.

Is there anyway to copy settings from one graph to another?

For example I set all the colors and etc on EUR/USD, I want to copy those same settings to the other graphs without going through the hassle of manually changing it.

Saving a chart as a template and then applying the template to another chart will do what you want.

Thank you for your help.

Another question

The Fibonacci levels, I can't figure a way to show the numerical value besides the percentage.

Is there something in addition I have to download? I ravaged the help files.

erk, found it. it's "%$ " incase anyone didn't know it. Just entire it under descriptions.

Can't figure out to make it automatic though, so I don't have to type it in for each time i draw a fib...
