This is one of the most important things you can do when it comes to using MT4, showing the ask line helps when it comes to placing a trade manually, often the spread can be much wider than you expect and you may not realise the spread has jumped out 5 – 10 pip more than your target entry point when you come to place a trade, showing the ask line is a great way to quickly visualise your entry point if taking a long trade or to see how much price needs to move on a short sell to hit your profit target. to show the ask line select the chart and click “F8” and click on “show ask line”.
