How to take screenshots in MetaTrader?

You can take screenshots of charts using the main menu:

1. Open the chart：make sure you have the diagram you would like to screenshot open.

2. Click on ‘File’：click on ‘File’ in the top menu or use the shortcut Alt + F.

3. Select ‘Save As Picture’：select ’Save as Picture’ from the drop-down menu.

4. Decide which part of a chart to save：

   • Active workspace：a screenshot of the entire workspace, including charts and other elements.

   • Activity chart (as is)：a screenshot of the entire chart as you see it.

   • Active chart：a screenshot of a chart of a specific size. If you choose this option, you need to enter the desired width and height in pixels first.

Alternatively, you can take a screenshot using the right-click menu:

1. Right click anywhere on the chart：right-click on the chart you would like to screenshot.

2. Select ‘Save As Picture’：select ’Save as Picture’ from the drop-down menu.

3. Follow the steps above to select the type of screenshot.

Useful Tips

• Resize the window：if the screenshot size is too large, you can resize the chart window or use the ‘Active chart’ option to set a specific size.

• Move a chart：if the part of a chart you would like to be screenshotted is not included in a screenshot, you can adjust the position of the chart before taking the screenshot.

By following these steps you can easily take screenshots of charts in MetaTrader 4.
