How do I open a chart in MT5?

You can open a chart within the platform in two ways:

• Go to the Market Watch window and right-click on the desired symbol. In the drop-down menu, select Chart Window.
• Select File from the main menus and then select New Chart. Proceed by selecting the desired instruments from the drop-down list.

You can arrange the charts automatically by choosing the desired arrangement from the Window tab on the main menu.

Saving my chart settings

There are three ways to save chart settings.

1. Set up the chart to your requirements. Next, right-click on the chart, select Template then Save Template, and give your chart a name. To apply this template, right-click on the chart you want to reconfigure then select the chart template you saved above.
2. Alternatively, select the chart you want to save, go to Charts in the main toolbar, then go down to Template and Save Template.

Create trend lines or other line studies

You can apply various trend lines and line studies directly from the main toolbar. If these options are not visible, click View, then Toolbars and make sure the Line Studies option is ticked. Once the correct line study has been selected, left click on the chart to start drawing.
