MT4 Charts Shift

This MT4 Chart Shift button moves the chart closer to the middle, so the newest candlestick is not on the far right side of the MT4 software: it moves it toward the center. Traders like to trade with the newest candle in the middle because it makes it easier to look at the chart's price movements when they are closer to the center.

For the example, the MT4 Charts Shift button appears below as a downward arrow. Press this MT4 chart shift button in the chart menus. The area is highlighted by a rectangle below. The last candle shifts rightward to that spot. See the MT4 Charts Shift example shown below.
