How do I show the bid and ask price on my MT4 chart?
Updated last month

By default, MT4 charts only display the bid price in the candlestick history. You can add a visible ask price line to your chart at any time by following the steps below for your device.

Desktop (MT4)

1.     Right-click anywhere on your chart

2.     Select Properties, then go to the Common tab

3.     Tick the Show Ask Line box

4.     Click OK to confirm

iOS (MT4)

1.     Tap Settings in the bottom-right corner

2.     Select Charts

3.     Toggle on Ask Price Line

Android (MT4)

  1. Tap Settings in the bottom-left corner

  2. Select Charts

  3. Tick the Ask Price Line box

MT4 WebTrader:

  1. Select Charts from the top menu

  2. Select Properties (or press F8)

  3. Go to the Common tab

  4. Tick Show Ask Line

Tip: The ask line appears in red by default. If you cannot see it after enabling it, the line colour may match your chart background. To fix this, go to Properties > Colors tab and change the Ask Price Line colour to something clearly visible.

To hide the ask line again, follow the same steps and reverse the setting.
