Hey All,
Can someone please help me? I want to know how to have the latest bar more towards the centre of the screen, instead of on the right.
This would be helpful when measuring breakout trades like triangles.
The best i can get is zooming in, adding my trendlines and then zooming out. but as soon as you pan left or right the chart immediately defaults to having the latest bar at the very right again.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Ive attached images to help

your looking for CHART SHIFT, 2 ways

typically there is an icon at the top of you mt4 normally located near the zoom icons - run you mouse over them all when CHART SHIFT pops up click (note - the chart you want to do this on must be the current screen)

other option is to right click the chart and hit properties and click on chart shift.

once the shift (edited oops) is active you can locate the marker at the top of the chart and shift it until you like it's location.

Hanover, MPP,
Thanks very much. it worked a treat. The little red triangle for me though was in the bottom left corner. Maybe its location changes according to the broker? im using Oanda.
Anyway, your directions have solved my problem and im happily drawing trinagles and wedges all over my charts.
Much obliged.

As I said above, there are a few ways to do this, but you have not given any details as to how you want to use it. The best way can not be determined with the little you have said so far.

Any one can give you a laundry list of different ways, and there are even better ways to change symbols, that have not been given yet.

The best way is to acheive your needs, which are .........

Thank you.

Perhaps you might these chart aids useful as well. I am looking for a tool similar to attached Draw Cell which can draw lines by mouse just like a paint draw tool and do away with having to use PrtScrn and going to Paint to draw freehand.

DrawCell..... That's it what I am looking for. Thank you.....
i am a beginner, so one pair is enough

Hi,

From the MT4 Drawing tool, there is only line drawing without arrow. Is there an add-on tool that can provide such drawing tool? See my picture (the arrow is drawn manually).

Hi,

Drawing trendlines with arrows on their ends is not possible in MT4.

Hi,

It appears that up to 3 charts can be tiled vertically in the way that you wish, but 4 or more causes MT4 to revert to a multiple row layout. Hence I don't know of any way to do what you're asking, short of manually moving and sizing the individual charts.

Here is another way. You will have to pay for it but it does come with a free trial.

Hi,
Can anyone help me.....
I use multiple timeframe analysis in my trading
I use 8 profiles
Each profile consists of approx 8 pairs (each pair appears on two profiles)

I check these profiles each morning across multiple timeframes

I have a large screen monitor and can easily check which pairs are trending or are range bound without selecting them individually

I check all pairs on each profile across multiple timeframes
This can be quite time consuming, clicking each individual pair - then selecting the timeframe...........

Is there an easy way that I can select a timeframe that would update all pairs on the profile to that selected timeframe in one go?

I am experimenting with this at present to help find the strongest and weakest currencies

Thank you in anticipation

Not sure if this is helpful, but a similar question has been posed, along with some possible solutions, in this thread.
