When you open many forex charts on the MT5 platform, these forex charts are arranged in navigation tabs bar just below the MT5 chart workspace as shown below.

If on your MT5 software this display bar is not highlighted - as in the forex trading example shown above - you can follow the following procedure to show this MetaTrader 5 bar as well as these MetaTrader 5 tabs.

On the "View" menu drop down list option, the fourth button is named "Charts Bar" as shown above. To view this display bar on the MT5 Platform just click and check or tick this button and the it will appear as shown below displaying all the open forex charts as tabs that a trader can use to open any of these listed forex charts.

Once you tick This MT5 option the MT5 bar appears and this MT5 bar also has right and left arrows that a trader can use to scroll to the left or to the right and navigate other open forex charts from this MT5 bar.

These MT5 chart tabs are used to organize all the open forex charts on the MT5 platform in an orderly manner. This MT5 tab also gives the trader easy access to any forex chart which they might have opened.

As the trader continues to open more forex charts, this MT5 Bar of chart tabs adds navigation arrows to the right and to the left of this MT5 bar, this way a trader can scroll to the left or to the right of this MT5 bar of chart tabs until they find the forex chart for the currency pair that they want to trade.

For ease of navigation each tab on this MT5 bar also shows the forex chart time frame for which this particular forex chart is set for. For Example in the above screenshot example The EUR USD is marked H1 for 1 hour forex chart time frame, so is GBP USD USD JPY, USD CHF and AUD USD forex charts. The last MT5 Tab does not show the forex chart time frame and a trader has to use the right and left scroll arrow MT5 buttons next to this tab to navigate. Once the trader reaches one end that arrow is then grayed out - as shown above, the right arrow scroll button above is grayed because the first forex chart - EUR USD forex chart is the first forex chart on the right side of this MT5 bar.
