Grid

The Meta Trader 4 grid button on the charts menu option of the MT4 Indices Trading 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.

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 changes the more the volumes. These volumes in Indices are used to estimate the number of traders participating 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 option when activated will automatically scroll to the most recent 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.
