I would like to print 5min charts, one day at a time for MANY days past. Is there a simple and easy way to do so without doing a screen capture for each individual day?
Thanks.
Thanks.

This is an EA that will save your chart screenshots. Parameters description include.

I am sad to say that I have no idea how to use either of the attached ea's. I have never used them. Can someone explain how I get a chart to even come up or save? How to use the attachments?
Thanks.
- download it to your computer. save to <metatrader folder>experts
example: save in C
rogram Files\\Metatrader 4 by Gallant Capital Markets\\experts - start your metatrader
- open "navigator" section Expert Advisors, drag and drop EA to a chart that you want to capture
- set EA parameters
- when it is done. you will find your captured chart images in Crogram Files\\Metatrader 4 by Gallant Capital Markets\\experts\\files

1. Do I want to click on the "allow active trading"?
2. Do I click on "allow DLL imports"?
3. How do I make it run? Do I need to run the strategy tester? Or what?
I have never used a single EA in the past so I have very little knowledge of this part of the MT4 Platform.
Thanks for the help.

Ok, I got all that set. A couple of more questions.
1. Do I want to click on the "allow active trading"?
2. Do I click on "allow DLL imports"?
3. How do I make it run? Do I need to run the strategy tester? Or what?

- FxMaticsNothing else to do, just drop it on your chart, set parameters and hit OK button.
I had put it one a bit ago and did not think it was working and noticed in the files folder that there were a few charts but now I cannot get any other charts in there after changing parameters. I cannot get any charts in there even if I start totally over and delete the other charts.
Should I just be more patient?
Thanks.

Ok, so my broker is closed right now. Do they have to be open to make this work? I have done all the other steps and nothing to be found. Does it take a while to perform and drop charts in that folder?

There are 3 ways to do it than:
1. By adding "start();" (without quote) code right after "int init() {" and restart your MT. Or...
2. Wait the market open.
3. Do a backtest at strategy tester with your proper parameters, just for a single last day (yesterday). You will find the captured image in <metatrader folder>/tester/files if you do it by backtest.
I recommend you to use the first way. It won't be complicated too.
When the capturing function done, you will see text on your top-left chart. If you don't see it within some seconds, the the capturing fail.
Failure must be because EA can not find any candle that start on time that you set on TimeFocus parameter.
