Grid, Volume, AutoScroll and MetaTrader 4 Chart Shift Options on MT4

Grid

The MT4 grid button on the charts menu option of the MetaTrader 4 Platform is used to draw grid lines as shown below. A trader might prefer to trade with grids on the stock chart or not and will use this button to show or hide the Grid.

The MetaTrader 4 Grid button is displayed below (Short-cut for this menu is Ctrl+G)

Volumes

Volumes in Stock Indices Trading represent tick volumes or the number of times the tick for stock price changes during a particular time period. The more the tick changes the more the volumes. These volumes in Stock Indices Trading are used to estimate the number of stock traders participating in the stock trading market.

Volumes are plotted as green bars below each candle, & the height of these green bars represent the tick volume for a particular candlestick. (Shot cut key for Volumes : Ctrl+L)

Auto Scroll

Auto scroll option when activated will automatically scroll to the most recent candlestick bar for every chart that's opened. Therefore, the most recent information is displayed & as a trader you don't have to scroll to these recent candlestick bars every time you open a new stock chart.

MetaTrader 4 Charts Shift

This MT4 Charts Shift button is used to shift the stock chart more towards the center, instead of the last candlestick being right at the right side of the MT4 platform, the MT4 stock charts shift button will shift the most recent candlestick towards the center. Stock traders prefer to trade with most recent candlestick shifted toward the mid - this makes it easier to analyze the stock chart price movements when they are more towards the center.

For example, the MT4 Charts Shift button is shown below as an arrow pointing down, by pressing this MT4 stock charts shift button within the trading chart menus(highlighted below by a rectangle), the last candlestick will shift from the right and move up to this point as shown in the MetaTrader 4 Charts Shift examples shown below.
