How to upload a template to your MetaTrader 4? When you open the meta trader for the first time,
you have something like this.
You have noticed that my MetaTrader charts are completely different.
They have another style, another template.
I don't have green bars,
I don't have a black background and it simply looks very different from this one.
So if you don't like this kind of template, the standard one, if you want to personalize the chart, you
can use the right click and then properties and change the settings that you want.
You can also apply the same settings that I have for my meta trader 4, but, if you like my template,
you have an easy way to upload it in a few seconds.
First of all you need to download the template that
you will find in the resources for this lecture, then save it on the desktop,
the MetaTrader file or wherever you prefer, then right click, template and load template. I have saved my
template as template_name,
so very very basic, nothing special. You just need to select it and open.
Here we go, you have now the same template that I use to analyze the charts. In my opinion,
it is much better.
You can clearly see the color of the candlesticks.
Is it something difficult to save your own template and use it for all the currency pairs?
It is extremely easy.
Let's suppose that you want to add an indicator, so insert, indicators.
Let's check trend for example.
Actually, I want to add the stochastic oscillator,
so let me find it here in the oscillators.
And here we go.
We have the previous chart plus the indicator.
Now this is just for Euro-dollar,
but when you open a new chart, let's say that you want to analyze dollar-Japanese yen, you will have the
same standard template of the MetaTrader 4. What you need to do is to go back to Euro-dollar chart,
right click and then template... I was selecting timeframes.
So template and save template. You can give a name to that template.
I'm going to save this one as stochastic.
When you open a new chart like this one on dollar-yen, you only need to select template, load template
and then stochastic.
So open and you have exactly the same style that you have with the Euro-dollar chart.
White background, green and red candles and the oscillator with the same settings.
So you don't need to right click, properties and change them for all the charts. When you are happy with
the style of a chart,
you can save the template and upload it to every other chart that you want to analyze. If you want the
same template that I use,
don't forget that you can download it in the resources for this lecture and it will take just a few
seconds to upload it.
