Use the fast navigation bar

On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can enter symbol, timeframe, date, and time in the fast navigation bar to quickly customize your chart.

Here we will look at how to use the fast navigation bar on MT4/MT5.

Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.

Step 1

Click the chart for which you use the fast navigation bar and press "Enter" on your keyboard to show the fast navigation bar in the bottom left corner of the chart. You can also show it by double-clicking the bottom left corner of the chart.

Step 2

Type a symbol, timeframe, date and time in the following format to switch between charts.

Item	Descriptions
Symbol	Enter the symbol name. E.g., to display a USDJPY chart, type "USDJPY".
Timeframe	Enter "m1" for 1-minute timeframe, "h1" for 1-hour timeframe, "w" for 1-week timeframe, and "mn" for monthly timeframe. E.g., to display a 30-minute chart, type "m30".
Date	Enter the date. E.g., to display a chart for August 1st, 2022, type "2022.8.1" or "2022.08.01".
Time	Enter the time. E.g., to display a chart for 7:05 AM of the current day, type "7:5" or "07:05".

Turn off auto-scroll when specifying date

Even if you specify the date to show the chart of a particular period, the chart will be updated to the current time unless "Scroll the chart to the end on tick incoming" is turned off. You can click the "Scroll the chart to the end on tick incoming" icon on the menu to turn it on and off.

You can combine parameters on MT5

On the fast navigation bar, you can specify date and time to display a chart. Moreover, in MT5, you can specify symbol and timeframe as well. For instance, if you want to display the minute chart for EURJPY, enter "EURJPY m1" with a space between the symbol and the timeframe.

Step 1

Click the chart for which you use the fast navigation bar and click "Enter" on your keyboard to show the fast navigation bar in the bottom left corner of the chart. You can also show it by double-clicking the bottom left corner of the chart.

Step 2

Type a symbol, timeframe, date and time in the following format to switch between charts.

Item	Descriptions
Symbol	Enter the symbol name. E.g., to display a USDJPY chart, type "USDJPY".
Timeframe	Enter "m1" for 1-minute timeframe, "h1" for 1-hour timeframe, "w1" for 1-week timeframe, and "mn" for monthly timeframe. E.g., to display a 30-minute chart, type "m30".
Date	Enter the date. E.g., to display a chart for February 1st, 2021, type "2021.2.1" or "2021.02.01".
Time	Enter the time. E.g., to display a chart for 7:05, type "7:5" or "07:05".

You can combine date&time or symbol&timeframe

On the fast navigation bar, you can combine various parameters such as date and time, or symbol and timeframe. When combining symbols with timeframes, enter a space between the symbol and the timeframe. For instance, if you want to display the minute chart for USDJPY, enter "USDJPY m1".
