The purpose of the Chart Control indicator is to give users easy control of MT4 Chart Properties. It has an additional feature that allows chart properties to be applied or reset after exiting.

While working with the indicators that we have been developing and/or use, we realized that we were modifying the same settings for many of our indicators.

Instead of making these user settings available within all of our indicators, it makes more sense to just put this one out free.

It currently contains 23 user settings that are within 4 groups. The settings are described below by each respective group.

GENERAL SETTINGS

• Reset Properties On Exit - When true, it saves the current Chart Properties before applying user settings, and then applies the saved settings during indicator exit. When false, the user settings are applied and not removed during exit.

• Volume Mode - Select between showing the Tick Volume, or hiding the Tick Volume.
