The last item you can pick from the charts menu on MetaTrader 4 is the properties button. This button lets you change the settings of the chart you see in the MetaTrader 4 workspace. The picture below shows where you can find the properties button on the charts menu.

The following properties can be adjusted from the above menu:

  1. Back ground - change background
  2. Fore ground - change foreground, objects in the fore-ground
  3. Grid - place or remove the grid
  4. Bar Up - Color of bars, bullish bar
  5. Bar Down - Colour of bars, bearish bar
  6. Bull Candlestick - Color of candles, bullish candlestick
  7. Bear Candlestick - Color of candles, bearish candle
  8. Line Graph - Colour of Line
  9. Volumes - Setting of Volumes
  10. Ask Line - Setting of Ask Line
  11. Stop Levels - Setting of the Stop Levels Line

In the two examples above, these settings are different, so that's why these two different settings look different when displayed and shown on the preview windows above.

The Colour Scheme

The chart properties configuration panel also enumerates three pre-set color themes that traders have the option to load: these are the standard color configurations built into MetaTrader 4.
