MetaTrader 4 Grid

MetaTrader 4 Volumes Indicator

Volumes in XAUUSD Trading 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 Trading are used to estimate the number of xauusd traders participating in the gold market.

Volumes are drawn as green bars below each xauusd candlestick, and the height of these green bars represent the tick volume for a particular candlestick. (Shot cut keys for Volumes: Ctrl+L)

MetaTrader 4 Auto Scroll

Auto scroll option when activated will automatically scroll to the most recent xauusd candlestick bar for every xauusd chart that is opened. Therefore, the most recent information is displayed and as a xauusd trader you do not have to scroll to these recent xauusd candlestick bars every time you open a new xauusd chart.
