Opening an Offline Chart on MT4

In MT4 you may want to open an offline chart and analyze this chart without having it updating in real time. Although it is not often that a trader wants to open an offline chart, this option is provided for in the MetaTrader 4 software.

Shown below, the File Navigation drop-down menu the second option is that of opening an offline chart.

Once a trader clicks the open offline chart a pop up window panel will popup, a trader can then select which offline chart to open from this pop up menu.

From the above popup menu a trader can then open any offline chart that's listed above, the number of stock indices trading price bars that have been saved for a specific offline saved trading chart is recorded as the number of chart bars as well as the date from which this chart is saved up to the last time it got to be updated.

This option is not required so much in trading but it is good to explain it for guide purposes.
