Customising toolbars

Many of the toolbar functionalities can be distracting and you may find you don’t use all of them. With MT4 you can add in or hide as many features as you want.

There are four separate toolbars available:

• Standard
• Chart studies
• Line studies
• Time frames

You can move toolbars around by simply dragging them to wherever you’d like them to be.

Using hotkeys

To assign a hotkey to an indicator, simply right-click on the indicator on the navigator window and select “Hotkey”.

To customise what you view, you can simply right-click on the toolbar and click on the customise sub-menu. Here you can remove functions that aren’t required by un-ticking them. By using the customise feature on each toolbar, you can access hidden tools, while removing any you don’t require.  Through this technique, you can end up with a much cleaner and more compact user interface
