Since it looks like the programming experts about scripts are here I am going to post the question here. If there is a problem please tell me and I will delete the post. I am looking to find a script that will change all windows to the same currency pair, can that be done? Thanks 4x

I am looking for the same thing. Please let me know if you find it. Although from what I know, I'm not entirely sure that it is possible...

From my experience so far, it seems that MT4 is not capable of working with a window other than the one in which the script is applied. If it were not for that, I think we'd have an answer to your question. But I am not 100% positive. I'm almost certain there's a way if you take the C/C#/C++ syntax into account, but within MQL itself I don't think it is built in.

EDIT: It might be worth giving this thread a look. I haven't gone through the whole thing yet, but who knows, it may be there after all.

{quote} Try attached script. Set "templateIndex" user parameter to the index value of the template you want to load. For the first template in your list, set to 0; for the second template in your list, set to 1; etc... See this post for a little more info: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...93#post4299493 Edit: Script

Hmmmmm, it would appear that no one thought to mention that this script either deletes or scrambles all existing tech analysis (trend lines, channels, horizontal S/R lines etc.)

Ah well, it's only a months work on 31 pairs... Back to the drawing board it is then.

(Note to self: Keep it simple stupid !)

hm, it should be clear that the change of the template will remove all your lines, drawings, etc. and replace them by the objects stored in the new loaded template.

Its like it is with every software: Make a backup first.

But once forgotten, it may be very sad, indeed

Attached one script which let you change either the current charts template only or the templates of all open charts, see soucrecode for downloadsource.

Remember: That's a script, so it belongs to mt4/experts/scripts/-folder

(edit: Looks like it is the same as posted by hanover some posts earlier)

Attached File(s)

-test_ChangeTemplate.script.mq4 3 KB | 894 downloads

PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

I don't know everything as
but I know a fast way - open the review of the market and drag the couple necessary to you on the necessary schedule - all the template is loaded, but the old currency pair will disappear

Thank You very much zznbrm for providing the scripts for changing templates and time frame for all charts without seconds.

You are brilliant.

Thank you so much zznbrm & hanover.

Is there a way I can make the index value default to another value instead of '0', e.g. '17'? Do you know which part of the code I need to alter to change this default value? I know I create different presets then load these each time but it would be better overall for me if I can create a different script for each template I want to use this for.

Also I was wondering if anyone had found a script to load the same currency pair on to all charts? This would complete the set for me!

Thanks for any help

{quote} Tommy, It's not possible to call a template from a script using the MQL4 language. It might be possible to 'get inside' the MT4 executable as zznbrm has apparently done in the example you posted, but that's beyond the level of my knowledge. David
