Opening an Offline Chart in MT4

In MetaTrader 4 you may want to open an offline chart & analyze this chart without having it updating in real time. Although it is not often that a trader wants to open an offline chart, this option is provided for in the MetaTrader 4 platform.

Shown below, the File Navigation drop down menu the second option is that of opening an offline chart.

Once a trader clicks the open offline chart a popup panel will popup, a trader can then select which offline chart to open from this popup window popup menu.

From the above popup menu a trader can then open any offline chart that's listed above, the number of gold price bars that have been saved within a specific offline saved chart is recorded as the number of bars as well as the date from which the chart is saved up to the last time it was updated.

This option is not required so much in trading but it is good to explain it for tutorial purposes.
