Default Customizing MT4

A question for the seriously gifted, or I'm just ignorant. Does anyone know how to change the color on the Fib Fans in MT4? I have a copy with the fans in bright yellow (I suppose for the black background) but would like to be using a white background - which I can change easily. However I can't find how to change the color of the Fib retracements in MT4...any clue?

Thanks in advance,
FiboLoki

Hi FiboLoki,

Try this:

1. Double-click on the 'main' Fib Fan line (the one you dragged to plot the fans). White dots should appear on the line, indicating that it is highlighted.

2. Right-click on the line, and choose Fibo Properties.

3. The Common tab contains the color setting for the Fibo line. The Fibo Levels tab contains color setting for the levels themselves.

Hope that helps!

Wich tool is used for zigzag lines and adjusting them with the dots to draw them at new highs or lows, but not straight lines, but like the fib expension type lines
