MT4 Scale Fix

[redahussien]

HI , could you please assist me on this issue ,  when i fix the scale one to one in mt4 for D1,W1,MN period the chart will be distorted and you can not read it.

i mean the bars will be very long and it will not fit the screen , the opposite for H1 period.

thanks in advance.

Don't fix the scale or learn to live with it - tertium non datur.

When working with angles  the scale should be fixed.

[William Roeder]

• There is no angle from 2 anchor points. An angle requires distance divided by distance; a unitless number. A chart has price/time. What is the angle of going 30 miles in 45 minutes? Meaningless!

• You can get the slope from a trendline. Delta price / delta time. Changing the axes scales changes the apparent angle, the slope is constant. Angle is meaningless.

• You can create a angled line using one point and setting the angle (Object Properties - Objects Constants - Standard Constants, Enumerations and Structures - MQL4 Reference.) The line is drawn that angle in pixels. Changing the axes scales does NOT change the angle (and thus is meaningless.)

• If you insist, take the two price/time coordinates, convert them to pixel coordinates and then to apparent angle with arctan.

Thank you very much for the beautiful answer and explanation.

I wholeheartedly agree with whroeder on this one... you should be using slope.
