Does my chart show the bid price or the ask price?
In MT4 and MT5, the charts display the bid price by default. The bid price is the price at which you can sell a financial instrument.
If you want to view the ask price (the price at which you can buy a financial instrument):
- MT4: Right-click your chart, select Properties, go to the Common tab, and check the Show Ask Line box.
- MT5: Right-click your chart, select Properties, go to Show tab, and check the Show Ask Price Line box.
