⚙️ Input Parameters

How to Use

Step 1 — Install the Script

•  Open MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and go to File → Open Data Folder

•  Navigate to MQL5 → Scripts and paste the script file there.

•  Restart the terminal or right-click Navigator → Scripts and select Refresh

Step 2 — Prepare Your Template

•  Save your desired chart template by right-clicking any chart → Template → Save Template

•  Note the exact template name. The file will be saved in: MQL5 Data Folder → MQL5 → Profiles → Templates

Step 3 — Run the Script

•  Drag the script from Navigator → Scripts onto any open chart.

•  In the Inputs dialog, enter the Template Name (without the .tpl extension).

•  Set Apply to Current Chart Only to true if you want to affect only one chart, or keep it false to apply to all charts.

•  Click OK to execute.

Step 4 — Review the Report

•  A Summary Popup will appear showing how many charts were updated successfully and which ones (if any) failed.

•  Full details are also logged in the Experts / Journal tab.

⚠️ Important Notes

•  Template file must exist  — The .tpl file must already be saved in the MQL5 Templates folder. The script does not create templates, it applies existing ones.

•  Case-sensitive name  — Ensure the template name is entered exactly as the file is named, including capitalization.

•  No .tpl extension needed  — Enter only the name (e.g., MyTemplate), not MyTemplate.tpl.

•  Failed charts  — If a chart fails, it is listed in the report. Common cause: template file not found or incorrect name.
