How to Set name/label for each window on MT4

Dear all,

I have a lot of windows in MT4, each one is for a pair or another TF of a pair. So how can I quickly know to access a window? Is there such a feature of MT4 like rename or set the label/name of a window in the window list? It's the same as MS Excel sheet name.

Thanks.

Hi rockballad,

I am not entirely sure what you are trying to convey in your question, so you might need to do a little rephrasing. In the mean time, one shortcut I use is CTRL+TAB in my Windows operating system to switch between the charts.

The tabs at the bottom panel can be dragged to any order like excel and the charts are named by currency pair & timeframe.

Unless you mean a watermark on the chart itself to highlight the open chart currency pair & TF.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Hello Dan,

I just wanna change the label on each window tab in case I use many templates for a specific pair and timeframe. E.g. I use 2 systems, one is for breakout trading, another is for trending time. All is for EURUSD, H1 as you see... Maybe MT4 doesn't support it. I just wonder currently we can change it using another technique like template or any trick...

Thanks, Shabs19. Yes, we can use text label and/or background color to make a pair different, but I need a little more. It's how to access a window quickly.

Best regards,

Hi rockballad!

MT4 does not allow that part of MT4 to be modified. What I would suggest is using different profiles for different EAs, like so:

also would like to know if this can be done. would like each tab to show instead of:

GBPUSD Monthly

it would show:

GUMN

when more than a certain number of charts are open in mt4, the tabs go off the creen and one must always scroll to find the chart. any workarounds for this? as it is it is also very inconsistent since GBPUSD Monthly takes up more room than GBPUSD M1, always shifting the tabs around when charts' timeframes are changed

edit: here is a thread talking about the same thing. i have also thought about if mt4 could show a double row of tabs so one doesn't have to scroll

You may easily rename the window name, but the MT4 refreshes its name with every change of the chart focus (i.e. if you click on other chart).
