Step by Step feature
Step by Step feature
Use MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5)'s Step by Step feature to scroll the chart horizontally from one candlestick to another. It's useful for simulating trades using past data.
Here we will look at how to use the Step by Step feature on MT4/MT5. Among the multiple ways to use this feature, the "F12" function key, which allows displaying candlestick one by one with a single button, comes in handy.
Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.
Step 1
When using the Step by Step function, you need to toggle the chart auto-scroll off, which is on (background color is light gray) by default. To turn it off, click the light gray "Scroll the chart to the end on tick incoming" button on the menu.
Step 2
Scroll the chart to the left to the position where you want to start using the Step by Step function.
