Opening an Offline Chart on MetaTrader 4

In MetaTrader 4 you may want to open an offline chart and analyze this chart without having it updating in real time. Although it is not often that a stocks trader wants to open an offline chart, this option is provided for in the MetaTrader 4 stock platform.

Shown below, the File Navigation drop down menu the second option is that of opening an offline chart.

Once a stocks trader clicks the open offline chart a popup window will appear, a stocks trader can then select which offline chart to open from this pop up menu.

From the above popup menu a stocks trader can then open any offline chart that is listed above, the number of stocks price bars that have been saved within a specific offline saved stocks trading chart is recorded as the number of price bars as well as the date from which the stocks trading chart is saved up to the last moment that it got updated.

This option is not required so much in trading but it is good to explain it for tutorial purposes.
