Grid, Volumes, AutoScroll and MT4 Indices Chart Shift Options on MetaTrader 4

Grid

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

The MT4 Grid button key is displayed below (Short-cut for this menu is Ctrl+G)

Volumes

Volumes in Indices represent tick volumes or the number of times the tick for stock trading price changes during a specific time period. The more the tick shifts the greater the volumes. These volumes in Indices are used to estimate the number of traders who participate in the stock market.

Volumes are drawn as green bars below each candlestick, and the height of these green bars represent the tick volume for a particular candle. ( Shotcut keys for Volumes: Ctrl+L )

Auto Scroll

Auto scroll when it's activated will automatically scroll to most current indices candle stick bar for every chart that's opened. Therefore, most recent information is displayed and as a trader you do not have to scroll to these recent indices candle bars every time you open a new stock chart.

Stock Chart Shift

This MT4 Indices Chart 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 MetaTrader 4 software, the Meta Trader 4 chart shift button will shift the recent most candlestick towards the center. Indices traders prefer to trade with recent most candlestick shifted toward the mid - this makes it easier to analyze the stock chart stock trading price moves when they're more towards the center.
