A few requests on MT4 - page 4

Renat, don't understand my blunt insistence on "demanding" my own, but agree, looking at the Data Window, in a fast-changing market, is like wishing a pilot had flipped through a flight log instead of controlling the dashboard.
Look at the display of indicator information next to prices in Deal Smart, not perfect - some data is displayed well (Alligator), and in IHIMOKU ???..., but in general - convenient.

As I'm sure you know, the aeroplane dashboard is a designer's and usability specialist's nightmare :-).
The chart is already cluttered with objects and it's absolutely unnecessary to clutter the workspace with numerical indicator values. If you suddenly want to - use the Data Window.

Moreover, indicators are perceived/analyzed by humans as graphical structures, not as a set of numbers. MT4 already has several ways of viewing indicator values, and adding another one "just in case someone needs it" is clearly unnecessary.
 
But... as always something else is wanted... and so:<br / translate="no"> - is it possible to select pairs displayed in the window ?
- in the lower part show information about open orders, i.e. "Type", "Symbol" and "Profit" items
To make the "state" of orders visible from afar as well :)


If we _will_ need something for most traders _and_ we find it really necessary _and_ (very important) it will not spoil system architecture _and_ will not cause consequences, we can add it. Unfortunately, your suggestion still only applies to the "still want something" topic.
 
Well, of course...
That's why I "move" only ideas ... and what will "take root" there, time and the Developer will show ...
:)
If I have to point to something obvious, don't mind me...

I want to trade in real MT4 already now...
By the way, has anyone from brokerage companies is testing the system as a whole?
If only they would launch demos, entirely with their tools.
(Sorry about that...)
 
In addition to what was said in the "Is there a need for an Ask line..." thread.
(I didn't litter there with my emotions)

Dear developers, we respect your work (sorry for the rhetoric ...) and try to ask you questions aimed only at improving your product and our (traders') tool.
Of course you can't build a Mercedes, but you can build at least a BMW (for comparison's sake).
Of course, you're right about Microsoft's office...
There are a lot of flaws, and it's the standard ones, and the tech support says: "It's party policy..."
There won't be such a function and that's it... maybe in the 2010 version there will be... maybe...
Shall we go the way of smallsoft...? I don't think so...
The "nice" terminal is not only a convenient operation, but also a psychological factor.
Both for the trader and the probable (or existing) investors.
Today my investors (people who are in general far from the process of work), seeing MT4 terminal running, said:
"Hmm... the difference between MT4 and MT3 is like the difference between a colour and a black TV ....".
Yes, I said, the system is evolving, it's alive...
And they are always interested in what brokerage company a trader works with and on what terminal.
For many of them Forex is "dark forest" and they ask to see how the trades are made.
And then, at home, go to Yandex and see: MT, DC and "kitchen"... a synonym for...
But the power of persuasion puts everything in its place, and those who are smart stay and work.
There's a lot more to say, but... let's work, or words will remain words.
(By the way, there's a question about printing a report, I'll ask it later)
 
Here's a question about printing a report (statement).

But first, about the report itself, which is generated for saving.
Is it possible to split the field "Deposit/Withdrawal" into two separate fields
"Deposit" and "Deposit" ?
If not, it's not so important, but it is desirable to adjust the print itself, which is what:
Have you seen what the saved page looks like? Of course I have.
But what you get on paper looks like something naked and undressed.
Add a printing grid, line shading.
It will become much more informative. And the prestige of a trader (and you in the eyes of a trader :) will rise.
I'm asking about the depo/exit field, and that's why...
Every time I have to explain to an investor that the negative amount
"Deposit/Withdrawal is the most remarkable minus in the whole report.
 
Sorry about the typo...
"Deposit" and "Withdrawal"
 
Another idea (fix :) from Kombata...

Condition:
means the same broker, and real accounts for the same trader,
and withdrawal/funding rules are followed.

Situation #1 (single-currency accounts):
A trader has two (or more) accounts, one for permanent work, the other is a training real. Of course, there is a question of withdrawals/replenishments. So, is it possible to add withdrawal³ function between accounts, bypassing requests to the broker? And thus not to "load" the broker with personal matters, especially there are always more important questions to him.
Technically it is probably not difficult to do, in "manual" mode it can be done.
This can be done either by adding the line "Transfer to account #" to the context menu of the account folder, or hidden somewhere in the Main menu of the program.

Situation 2 (multi-currency accounts):
The same as in situation 1, but there should be conversion, or rather its principle.
You can use any exchange rate (current exchange rate for Forex, Central Bank, the exchange office around the corner, the broker's internal rate, etc. ...) as long as there was a function for the transfer of funds.

As always, I remind you that these are just "thoughts aloud", and implement them immediately do not call ...
 
But first on the report itself, which is generated for saving. <br / translate="no"> Would it be possible to split the "Deposit/Withdrawal" field into two separate

If not, it's not that important, but the print itself should be tweaked, which is what:

We will do our best to fix it.

[quote]You may do this by adding a "Deposit/Withdrawal to account #" option to the context menu of an account folder or hide it somewhere in the program's main menu.


Unfortunately, it is a direct way to cheating.
And no brokerage company will allow it even theoretically.
Sending a signed withdrawal application is fine, but no automatic money transfer is allowed.
 
Renat, I may not have said it perfectly, but I'll make it clearer:

I am referring to TRADING ACCOUNTS, i.e. those accounts that are on the MT list in the Navigator.
In fact, it is not withdrawal of funds, but movement between trading accounts, I specifically pointed it out in the terms and conditions. In real life, you ask broker for such an operation, and it is done, so why not automate this process, that's what I was asking ...
The moves are reflected in the "Account History", what kind of fraud is that?
Besides, some terminals (or rather trading conditions with xxxx broker) explicitly state that it is possible to move funds between the client's TRADING accounts.

Ok... I asked, you answered..,
but this possibility of account transactions would be useful... or at least not superfluous...
