Is there a way to change the default chart scheme of MT5?

New comment
 
I would like if new charts would default to the Color On White color scheme, but they always default to the Green On Black scheme.

Setup your chart the way you want it, them save it as a template to the "default.tpl" file. From there on, any new chart opened will use that default template.

Templates and Profiles - Additional Features - Price Charts, Technical and Fundamental Analysis - MetaTrader 5 Help

Templates are saved as TPL-files in folder \MQL5\Profiles\Templates. The platform provides several predefined names of templates:

  • default.tpl — the basic template that is automatically applied when you create a new chart;
  • tester.tpl — the template of the chart on which testing results are displayed;
  • debug.tpl — the template of the chart created when you start MQL5 application debugging from MetaEditor
 
Okay thanks
