Data Box in MT4

New comment
 

Does anyone know a way that I can get a display of all the values of my indicators in one place using MT4? I know that when you place the cross-hair over one of the indicators a small box will be displayed giving only that indicator's values. I would like a way to get all of the info from all of my indicators in one box. I have one of my accounts w/ GFT who uses proprietary software (DealbookFX) which has a feature that will give you a data box displaying the bar-specific values of every indicator you have running when you put your cross-hairs/mouse on the bar for which you want the data. How might I replicate this data box in MT4?

There is a symbol in the top left of the MT4 platform that looks a bit like a gun sight crosshairs - that should give you what you want - it lists all of the Data for everything on the chart

 

I am not a programmer, but maybe you need to identify your data variables, and then have them comment using this format: (This will display at the top left of your screen) You can use this in a ea or an indicator.

Thanks to both of you for helping me out... I now have a very practical way to get all of my data! Let me know if there is anything I might help you with in the future.
