Opening an Offline Chart in MT4 Software

In MT4 you may want to open an offline commodity chart and analyze this chart without having it updating in real time. Although it is not often that a trader wants to open an offline commodity chart, this option is provided for in the MT4 commodities software.

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

Once a trader clicks the open offline commodity chart a pop up window panel will popup, a trader can then choose which offline commodities chart to open from this popup window popup menu.

From the above popup menu a trader can then open any offline commodity chart that is listed above, the number of commodities 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 lesson purposes.
