New comment
 

Hello,

Best regards,

Pawel
 
On MT4, just press del (numeric keypad period.)
 

Hello .

On Tools>Options>Charts there is a checkbox reading "Select Object After Creation" ,uncheck that if you dont want objects to be automatically selected after creation .

There is also a choice in menu Charts>Objects>Unselect All

Other than that ,you can place this indicator in your default template .

On Tools>Options>Charts there is a checkbox reading "Select Object After Creation" ,uncheck that if you dont want objects to be automatically selected after creation .

There is also a choice in menu Charts>Objects>Unselect All

Other than that ,you can place this indicator in your default template .


Thank You, this indicator works perfectly!!
