By using Chart Templates the chart background, bars colors, indicators and objects can be saved and used on other charts.

To do this, setup any chart as you wish: set colors, superpose objects, attach indicators, etc. Then select the “Charts -> Template -> Save Template…” menu and save the obtained template as default.tpl

To back test an expert advisor (EA) follow the steps below.

1. Open the Strategy Tester window by pressing Ctrl+R
2. Select the expert advisor you wish to back test
3. Select the symbol you wish to back test
4. Select a testing model (every tick model recommended)
5. Set a testing period
6. Press Start

You can create several sets of symbols and switch between them.

This can be very useful if you work with different groups of symbols (currency pairs, futures, etc.). This allows you to hide all “excessive” symbols and save your favourite symbols.
