Grid, Volumes, Auto Scroll & MT5 Gold Chart Shift Options on MT5
MT5 Grid
The MT5 grid button on the charts menu option of the MT5 XAUUSD Platform is used to draw grid lines as shown below. A trader might prefer to trade with grids on the gold chart or not & will use this button key to show or hide the Grid.
The MT5 Grid button is displayed below (Short-cut for this menu is Ctrl+G)
MT5 Volumes Indicator
Volumes in XAUUSD represent tick volumes or the number of times the tick for gold price changes during a particular time period. The more the tick changes the more the volumes. These volumes in XAUUSD are used to estimate the number of xauusd traders participating in the gold trading market.
Volumes are drawn as green bars below each xauusd candlestick, & the height of these green bars represent tick volume for a particular candle. (Shot cut key for Volumes : Ctrl+L)
MT5 Auto Scroll
Auto scroll option when activated will automatically scroll to the most recent xauusd candle stick bar for every xauusd chart that is opened. Therefore, most recent information is displayed & as a trader you do not have to scroll to these recent xauusd candle bars every time you open a new gold chart.
