Auto Scroll

Scrolling far back in history on a low timeframe with the mouse wheel is slow and tiring. Middle Mouse AutoScroll adds the autoscroll you know from web browsers to your MetaTrader 5 charts.

How it works

1. Click the middle mouse button (wheel click) anywhere on the chart. A marker appears at that point.
2. Move the mouse left or right of the marker. The chart scrolls in that direction.
3. The further you move from the marker, the faster it scrolls.
4. Click again or press Esc to stop.

Hold mode: hold the middle button, move the mouse, and release to stop, like Chrome and Firefox.

Features

• Smooth, variable-speed horizontal scrolling through chart history
• Speed grows with distance from the anchor point, so you can go from slow, precise scrolling to fast travel in one gesture
• Works on every timeframe and every symbol
• Visual anchor marker, which can be turned off
• Lightweight and does not trade, so it runs alongside your EAs and chart panels
• No DLLs and no external connections

Inputs

• Sensitivity: overall scroll speed
• Exponent: acceleration curve (1.0 = linear)
• DeadZonePx: neutral zone around the anchor, in pixels
• HoldMs: press length that activates hold mode
• TimerMs: update interval
• InvertDirection: flips the scroll direction
• ShowAnchor and AnchorColor: marker appearance

Installation: attach the indicator to a chart. To use it on several charts, add it to each one or save it in a template.

Requirements: MetaTrader 5 and a mouse with a clickable middle button or wheel.
