These help popups seem to appear if you leave the mouse cursor near the closing price of a candle for more than ~ 0.5 seconds. I don't think it's possible to turn the feature off altogether. But if you move the mouse pointer away from the candle, they soon disappear.

Hi Hanover.
Your ageless indicator "OB Ident.mq4" have been of much help to me.
When i increased EngulfMargin Percent form 100 to 200 it worked only for the engulfs not OB. Please how do i increase the EngulfMargin Percent for the OB.

The attached indicator - which I wrote a long time ago - will highlight OBs (and much more), but somebody will need to add an alert to it.

It plots white arrows to highlight outside bars (higher high, lower low than preceding candle), and optionally also yellow arrows for other candles whose body engulfs the previous candle's body. It can be attached to an MT4 chart of any pair, any timeframe. You can attach it to multiple chart timeframes if you wish.



EngulfMarginPct - applies to engulfing body candles only, as opposed to OBs. The body must be at least X% in height, relative to the height of the previous candle's body. e.g. if the body must be at least twice as high, enter 200.

In the instructions it says "EngulfMarginPct - applies to engulfing body candles only, as opposed to OBs." Therefore it is not possible to increase the EngulfMargin Percent for the OB.

I am very sorry, but I'm no longer coding or troubleshooting indicators, unless the indicator or EA is useful to me personally. If you want the indicator function changed, you could try posting in one of the "I code your indicators for free" threads, and perhaps somebody else can help you.

Or if you're willing to pay for the work, you could try MQL or elance.

Thank you Sir... (I know that, I hope for deactivation ... )

Can anyone please tell me how to rectify my time frame tabs staying highlighted when i change from one time frame to another. I'm using Mt 4 platform with ETX Capital.
If I change to say 1 hr to 4 hr or daily etc, all tabs stay highlighted so that I'm not sure which actual time frame I have on the chart. Thanks btk

There seems to be more graphical issues with the current MT4 versions, way round this would be to have a chart indicator to display
currency pair & timeframe. Plenty of them about on this forum.

Dear Hanover

Is there any way to hide or remove the currency pair and timeframe legend at the top left hand corner of an MT4 chart?

This is also where the OHLC line is.

Many thanks.

Kind regards
Robert

Robert,

The only workaround that I know of is to create a text label with the settings shown in the screenshot below. You can adjust the number of ggggg in the Text field or increase/decrease the Font size, if you want to change the area covered by the label. Set the Font color to the same color as your chart background. Then select and move the label around until it obscures whatever text you wish.

Hope that helps.

David

Sorry for another question David

Alt R tiles all the windows.

Is there another keyboard shortcut to bring them back to the individual, full-screen charts?

Many thanks.

I'm not aware of any keyboard shortcut. But clicking the icon shown in the screenshot will maximize all chart windows, after which you can Ctrl-Tab through them.

Probably this is covered already in the thread. Can anyone tell me please how to get say the daily PA area, to show that area on a 4 hr or a 1 hr chart without having to scroll back to find it. It would be handy for multi Time-frame checking,Thanks. btk
