Create a chart that looks just like you want it to, then save a template, and name it "default"
DennisJorgenson:
Does anyone know how to programatically turn the checkerboard grid off? Not a real issue, when I launch the session and open a new chart, my next key stroke is <ctrl-g> -- but, isn't there a way to handle this in code? Also, short of creating horizontal lines on the chart, is there a way to get to show the ask prices? Or, even just the ask line?
You can turn grid on/off using Messages. Please take a look at this topic of Russian forum.
For example, your case can be solved using the code:
// turns chart grid on/off using messages #include <WinUser32.mqh> int hwnd; int start() { hwnd = WindowHandle(Symbol(),Period()); PostMessageA(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, 33021, 0); return(0); }
