Hi, I have experience with Tradingview & Ctrader but now I have to use MT4 for my trading (for regulatory reasons), and I have a few questions on how best to set it up.
1:
Is there a way to get a functional watchlist (or customize the 'Market Watch' somehow) that connects the symbol on the list to a specific chart 'version' (template and/or chart with objects), and / or can be flagged (like how the Tradingview watchlist works, essentially saving objects per symbol, selectable from a watchlist)?
If not, is there at least a way to set default template for specific symbols? I know you can create a default template, that then means every new chart you open will have the same settings, but, that also copies objects from different symbols (those obviously don't fit), and the zoom/area that you start in is often completely wrong since the template seems to place you in the same 'area' relative to vertical scale?
Is there an autosave indicator for templates that saves whenever I place a new object on a pair, something like this: https://set-and-forget.com/tools/template-saver-indicator-metatrader/ (but that does not require some expensive membership etc.)?
If none of the above can be done, any other recommendations on how best to set up profiles/templates etc. so that chart management resembles a Tradingview setup?
2:
Zoom functionality: Has anyone developed a targeted zoom, e.g. zoom-in to where the cursor is hovering (like in Ctrader) or by selecting an area (like in Tradingview)?
Is there a way to get mouse scroll wheel to trigger the default zoom function (the one I found with a search so far did not work)?
Really appreciate any help.
