This gives you an accurate representation in the price action through the week and the day; which is crucial for your price action.The charts open at the start of the week with the Asian session in New Zealand which is the first market to open and then close in New York.This repeats each day for daily candles, closing at New York and opening for the Asian Session. Six Day ChartsYou have probably seen charts that have strange gaps everywhere, small inside bars and out of place looking small candles.Chances are these were six day charts with the sixth day not being created with a full trading day.Brokers choose the data and times they give their charts. You cannot change the makeup of the candles or when they close on metatrader. If the charts do not close at New York close, they are not New York close charts. Best Charting EquipmentMetatrader 4 (MT4) is widely recognised as the premium charting platform for Forex trading. The majority of brokers offer the MT4 platform to their traders because of the ease of use and outstanding capabilities.For price action traders MT4 offers a very simple and comprehensive charting package with a ton of benefits.Whilst many brokers offer MT4 to their traders, please remember just because they offer MT4 does not mean the charts are New York close daily candles. Only a few brokers offer true New York close MT4 charts.Whilst a lot of brokers are starting to add MT5, the MT4 is still far and away more popular for traders. Open a Free Demo Account With Recommended BrokerBelow is a link to read about two brokers that traders can use to open a free demo account of a broker with New York close daily 5 day candles.

Some of the other common time frame charts such as the 8HR, 2HR or 2day charts that can be really great trade setup time frames are not automatically installed.To fix this problem traders can use an indicator that is simply installed into their MT4 platform which allows them to change the time frame into anything they would like.Below are the instructions of how to download and use this indicator:  Before going ahead make sure your MT4 is closed first.Note: Since the update of MT4 build 600, the instructions on how to upload indicators has changed. You can now find an article on how to simply upload the new indicator here;How to Save\/Download \u00a0Change Time Frame Indicator\u00a01: Open your MT4 platform and the chart you want to change the time frame of.2: Go into your indicators and select the period converter indicator you have saved into your indicators. A box will now open on your chart.3: In the box under \u201cCommon\u201d make sure the box \u201cAllow DLL imports\u201d is ticked.4: In the box under \u201cinputs\u201d you will see \u201cperiod multiplier\u201d. This is where you will change the time frame to whatever you wish. If you opened up a 1hr chart and want to make a 2hr time frame, in the period multiplier you would add in \u201c2\u201d because 1hr x 2 = 2hr. Another example is; if you opened a 1hr chart and wanted to create an 8hr chart of that pair, in the period multiplier you would add \u201c8\u201d, because 1hr x 8 = 8hr chart.5: Once this is done click okay and the box will close.6: Open your MT4 platform.7: \u00a0Go into file and select \u201cOffline charts\u201d. (The charts are not really offline)8: Look through the list for the time frame you created and select to open it.9: You will now have the new time frame chart ready to go! If you experience any problems with this or have any questions just ask them in the comments box below.If you found this article helpful make sure you hit the Like buttons!All the success,Johnathon "}
