MetaTrader Default Templates

There are a couple nuisances that really annoy me with MetaTrader.

1. Default Template when creating a new Chart
2. Default Template when using strategy tester

It's somewhat of a hassle to always need to change the default template when creating a new chart and especially when performing many backtests with MetaTrader's Strategy Tester.

But there is good news...  You can set the default template to use for these!

To set a default template for new MetaTrader charts

1.  Open a new chart
2.  Apply your template
3.  Save the template as "default"

Any time you create a new chart, the "default" template is automatically applied.

To set a default template for Strategy Tester charts

1.  Open a new chart
2.  Apply your template
3.  Save the template as "tester"

Any time you backtest an EA with Strategy Tester, the "tester" template is automatically applied.
