MT4 not showing candles


Recommended Posts

I created a demo account and set up a new mt4 installation.For most of the pairs the candles are not rendering. Instead they are showing as straight along the time axis.However, the chart is showing historical candles up to 19th March for GBP/USD. After that there are no candles. It looks like all the candles have been flattened and laid on the time axis as a green line as shown in attachement. 

Can advise on how to get this working as normal

Warning! I am very non technical old ****.

I had similar trouble the other day. I think that there may have been a trouble with the demo a/c feed. I cured it by going to charts/[properties window. Look at the scale fix parameters. They are probably showing numbers some way from the actual range required. Play with them. As i remember I ticked the two boxes and adjusted the min max to sensible limits and pressed OK. Hope this helps

Hi, if you right click on the chart Properties > Common > then unclick Scale fix then ok the candles will be returned to within the chart boarders, you can then go back and click Scale fix which will allow you to move the candles around but then again after a period of time you may find the candles have gone outside the boarders.

Use your cursor tool to determine the exact date and time of the huge spike bar. I found mine was 2020.03.23 10:44. From the file menu at top, navigate to Tools - History centre - Then find the mkt you're having the problem with eg EURUSD is under S-Forex-1-GBP so click on S-Forex-1-GBP, then navigate down to EURUSD(£), then click on to highlight 1Minute (M1). After the right side window populates with data (may take some time but WAIT), then scroll down to the Date and Time that you'd noted before (2020.03.23 10:44 in my case). Check to see whether the OHLC data appears to be 'corrupted' ie the values SHOULD be similar to those minutes before and after. Click on that data line to select it and then click 'edit' below. A window will pop up (eventually). Mine had the decimal point for the High in the wrong place and the close value was also a bit too high. After correcting the decimal point and adjusting the value of the Close to the same as the Low, click 'OK' then wait for the window to close and close all windows. Your chart should have 'normalised'. However, all of this was due to corrupted and 'missing' data (there was no data from Fridays (20th) close till ~10:15 Monday (23rd) morning). Therefore, there will always be a 'gap' in your data and therefore in your charts which you should bear in mind when backtesting etc. I don't have MT4 'live' account so don't know whether the 'live' data was similarly affected but suspect it would have been reported and fixed relatively quickly, if not immediately, whereas demo account data is not so important (to IG). If you have a live MT4 account or know anyone that has and is willing to spend the time to help you, they can follow the above steps until 'edit' and select 'Export' instead. A 'csv' data file is created which can then be sent to you and imported to your platform using the 'Import' selection. Hope this helps.

    • GX Uranium ETF Commodity Elliott Wave Analysis The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, tracks the performance of companies in the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms involved in uranium mining, exploration, and production worldwide. As nuclear power gains recognition as a cleaner energy alternative, the demand for uranium is expected to rise, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to benefit from the sector's growth. Price completed the bearish corrective cycle from May 2024 in August of the same year and the commodity has followed with rapid rallies to confirm it’s in another bullish phase. The commodity is now expected to extend above the May 2024 high to reach its highest price in over a decade. Long Term Analysis From the long-term view, GX URA appears to be in a bullish corrective cycle. Between February 2011 to March 2020, the ETF fell consistently making lower lows and lower highs reminiscent of an impulse wave structure. price has been correcting the long-term bearish run since the low of March 2020. From March 2020, the price completed an impulse wave sequence for wave A (circled) of the primary degree in November 2021. Afterward, it made a corrective pullback for wave B (circled) which ended in July 2022. From there an impulse wave was completed for wave (1) of C (circled) in May 2024 and a pullback followed for wave (2) as the daily chart shows. The current rally from the 5th of August 2024 is expected to be wave 1 of (3). Wave 1 is incomplete. Thus, there is a lot of room for buyers to keep pushing the long-term recovery. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is currently in wave ((iii)) of 1 and could extend higher before pullback for ((iv)) where buyers will like to buy again. Traders can look for buying opportunities from the dip when the price completes wave ((iv)) or wave 2 in the near term. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
