Prepare charts

Introduction​

Titan will simultaneously manage multiple different currency pairs and positions for each pair:

  • AUD/CAD
  • NZD/CAD
  • GBP/CAD
  • GBP/AUD
  • EUR/GBP
  • EUR/SGD
PRO PAIR ACCOUNTS

If you are using a .pro account, you will have to use AUDCAD.pro instead of AUDCAD (repeat for other pairs too).
Depending on your broker, other suffixes may be required. Please contact your broker if you are unsure.

Close existing charts​

By default, MetaTrader will have 4 charts already opened. We can close these charts, as we will be preparing our own set of charts. (click the X on each window)

Optionally you can save your inputs in a Setfile to reuse them when adding the remaining charts.

6. Confirm settings​

Remember to repeat this process for the remaining currency pairs!
