MT4 desktop: How do I print a chart?

Set up printing, preview the selected chart and check colour output.

Print the intended MT4 desktop chart using a configured printer. These instructions do not describe Web Trader or mobile printing.


Before you start

  • Activate the required chart and check its full symbol, timeframe and displayed period.

  • Confirm the printer is available. Remove private account details from material you share.


Print the chart

  1. Choose File → Print Setup and select the intended printer and settings.

  2. For colour output, open Tools → Options → Charts, enable Color print and confirm with OK.

  3. Choose File → Print Preview. Check the visible chart content and printing area.

  4. If needed, adjust the chart or printer settings and preview again.

  5. When satisfied, choose File → Print or press Ctrl+P and confirm the printer dialog.


Check the result

  • Black-and-white output: check Color print and whether the printer supports colour.

  • Missing content: recheck Print Preview before printing again.

A chart printout is a visual copy, not an account statement or proof of an order’s execution price.
