Hi, I been trying MT4 for quite some days now, and I have a few
questions regarding the software. Any help regarding these Questions
would be deeply appreciated...

1.) How do I enable Global Crosshairs...meaning how do I enable
crosshairs on all charts at the same time without clicking each chart
& enabling it one by one, and it is possible for the crosshairs to
stay on the chart even if the mouse button is pressed?

2.) Is there anyway to automatically load scripts in MT4? I have read
that it's not possible, but has anyone done a work around? Mainly I
use the Period Converter, can this script be achieved in some other
form which can be loaded automatically each time I open MT4?

3.) Is there anyway to hide the Indicator info(what the indicator is
and its settings), from showing to the top left of the indicators?

4.) Is there a script/expert etc, that i can use to enter(Buy/Short) a
"market order" with one click and exit(Sell/Cover) the position with
one click? The currect way in which you open several windows is slow
because I'm a scalper.

I hope I didn't go all out in asking questions, please bear with me, I
have not searched all the FAQs and all the Forums regarding to
Metatrader, that would take me years, but I have searched certain
keywords on metatrader forums and have not found anything that would
be of any help. Please answer in any way you can. Thanks

1. This is impossible, sorry. But you can use hotkey CTRL+F to enable Crosshair.

2. You can include the code of Period Converter into your own indicator that will be attached to the chart permanently.

3. No, you cannot do it.

4. Yes, you can write your own script for this and assign hotkeys for your script. Please try to refer to www.mql4.com

You can include the code of Period Converter into your indicator or expert advisor as a function with parameters. For example:

void period_converter (int ExtPeriodMultiplier)
{
     ...
}


But you should keep in mind that the Period Converter is looped. Perhaps, you will have to change the Peroid Converter code.
