Just wondering how i can keep the trend lines static in MT4. they seem to stay there and reappear when i start the application again, but if i shut the individual chart window (i might want to investigate several other charts) and reopen it , the lines have gone. any advice to make this happen anyone?
and if i draw lines in one chart, then clone that chart by doing the usual “new chart” and selecting the same currency pair, the trendlines aren’t automatically drawn for me in the clone. that would be useful to happen , wouldn’t it? or the software just isn’t meant to do that.
If you are closing a chart with the ‘X’ button then you are wiping all analysis you have done on it. You could try using the minimize button instead that way you will keep all your analysis available. Cloning a chart is not a function that MT4 offers, depending on what kind of things you want to “clone” on to another chart you could have them auto load on your chart…using a template.
You can set up a chart and then save it as a new template then use that template for any other chart which will work with things like oscillators and moving averages and the like. If you are talking about Trendlines and Support and Resistance lines, Fibo’s or anything that needs to be manually drawn on a chart then you will find that they will be applied by your template but if the chart is not exactly the same the analysis will not be in the correct positions.
Cloning charts is a feature usually offered by higher end analysis software
