MetaTrader 4 Charts Bar and Tabs Navigation - MT4 Charts Tabs vs MT4 Charts Bar
When you open many forex trading charts on the MetaTrader 4 forex trading software, these charts are arranged in navigation tabs bar just below the MT4 chart workspace as shown below.
If on your MT4 platform this display bar is not highlighted - as in the example shown above - you can follow the following procedure to show this MetaTrader 4 bar as well as these MetaTrader 4 tabs.
On the "View" menu drop down list option, the fourth button is named "Charts Bar" as shown above. To view this display bar on the MT4 platform just click and check or tick this button and the it will appear as shown below displaying all the open charts as tabs that a trader can use to open any of these listed forex trading charts.
Once you tick this option the MetaTrader 4 bar appears and this MT4 bar also has right and left arrows that a trader can use to scroll to the left or to the right and navigate other open charts from this MetaTrader 4 bar.
These MetaTrader 4 chart tabs are used to organize all the open charts on MT4 platform in an orderly manner. This MT4 tab also gives the trader easy access to any chart which they may have opened.
As the trader continues to open more charts, this MetaTrader 4 Bar of chart tabs adds navigation arrows to the right and to the left of this MetaTrader 4 bar, this way a trader can scroll to the left or to the right of this MT4 bar of chart tabs until they find the chart for the currency pair that they want to trade.
For ease of navigation each tab on this MetaTrader 4 bar also shows the chart time frame for which this particular chart is set for. For Example in the above screenshot example The EURUSD is marked H1 for 1 hour chart time frame, so is GBPUSD USDJPY, USDCHF and AUDUSD charts. The last MT4 Tab does not show the chart time frame and a trader has to use the right and left scroll arrow buttons next to this tab to navigate. Once the trader reaches one end that arrow is then grayed out - as shown above, the right arrow scroll button above is grayed because the first chart - EURUSD chart is the first chart on the right side of this MetaTrader 4 bar.
