Opening an Offline Chart on MetaTrader 4

In MT4 you may want to open an offline stock chart and analyze this chart without having it updating in real time. Although it is not often that a stock index trader wants to open an offline stock chart, this option is provided for in the MT4 software.

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

Once a trader clicks the open offline stock chart a pop up window panel will popup, a trader can then choose which offline stock chart to open from this pop up menu.

From the above popup menu a indices trader can then open any offline stock chart that's listed above, the number of stock trading price bars that have been saved for a specific offline saved trading chart is recorded as the number of chart bars as well as the date from which this chart is saved up to the last time it got to be updated.

This option isn't required so much in trading but it's good to explain it for lesson purposes.
