You could not pay me to manually make drawings on this obsolete turd software.
MOUSE WHEEL ZOOMING INSTEAD OF SCROLLING FREE
Oh and did I mention that it is also FREE just like this? The only reason I am using MT4 is because of strategy automation. There is a reason why Tradingview is the NUMBER ONE FREE chart viewing software. You might not agree with my reasoning (if you have a low IQ and can't comprehend the illogic behind this design decision), but atleast you should agree to the fact that everyone has their own preference. Scroll Wheel and Pinch to Zoom Both scroll wheels and pinch to zoom are methods of using one or two fingers to zoom both in and out on a map without any. What is this a first person shooter from the 90s? Such a god damn stupid idea. control 'z' gets close, but it's aggravting. when i'm working on a drawing that's 1,000 ft across in model space, this becomes a royal pain trying to get back to where i was or where i was heading. I want to scroll through the page without stopping at the map. At least, scrolling page is default feature of scroll button, so please dont change its behaviour. two of the three machines i work on have this problem when i'm zipping around, paning and zooming with my scroll wheel, it will zoom to extents. It is in the middle of the page, and when I'm scrolling down with my mouse wheel and arrive at the map, it automatically zooms into the map. The least they could have done was to UNinvert the scroll input. scroll vertical bar by simple scroll, scroll horizontal bar by Shift + scroll, And about zooming, please use these instead: zoom in: Ctrl + Scroll Up. It makes more sense to use the mouse wheel since it is a more precise input, to zoom in/out then to move left and right. By specifying default zooming and panning settings, you can zoom in quickly to detailed parts of a drawing and. You can already use left click and drag the mouse to move the chart horizontally so why waste a valuable input such as the scroll wheel on a redundant input is beyond me. You can also use the mouse wheel to scroll.
The mouse wheel is a wheel that you flick your finger across vertically, which is ideal for movements on the Z and Y axis. Zooming in and out of a view can sometimes be considered the Z axis. Think of this as either pulling the objects closer by scrolling down or pushing. Its a precise instrument designed to scroll pages VERTICALLY, hence when the wheel is positioned as such. and scroll up on your mouse scroll wheel or trackpad for zooming out.
Since you want to get technical I will explain why using the scrollwheel to move the chart horizontally is rubbish.
