Hi there,

the grid in mt4 has an distance of x between horizontal lines.

This can change automaticly. Is there an calculation behind the distance?

You the user define what the calculation is.

The distance is a fixed amount of pixels

sorry I do not get it.

If I take example: eur/usd and zoom in max. the distance is now 165.

When I scroll back to two weeks ago it was 190.

I am missing something .. sorry.

Please explain?

I don't think there's any formula someone could give you. If it bothers you, try setting the grid scales by pressing f8. On the Common_Tab there are options for scaling you can play with.

How do I update Interesting and Humour [WARNING CLOSED!] Any newbie

Put a ruler against your screen. Measure the distance (~1/2 inch.) scroll back when the scale is different. Measure the distance (~1/2 inch) The distance is FIXED in pixels. The price scales. The grid does not.
