Bottom menu space and uploading mt4 indicator.

Feature Request

Just an annoyance for me. The bottom menu takes up about 1/5 of my screen and cannot be minimized beyond this. This really bugs me as I like as much screen space as possible. I like having the menu etc but i would like it to go away down to a small strip and not be taking up about 1/5 of my screen.

Second thing is I want session vwap you have rolling or day vwap but I want session vwaps. Tried the beta upload of a session vwap indicator but not getting anything so far. These are my feedbacks so far. Like using and is very helpful BUT the screen space is a big deal as it restricts view in normal usage. Regards Douglas.

    Hi @Douglas Robertson,

    Thank you for your detailed feedback — this is very helpful.

    Regarding the bottom menu:
    Just to clarify, do you mean the terminal window at the bottom of the screen? If so, you can try using the shortcut Shift + T to collapse or expand it — this should help you free up more screen space.

    About your second point (Session VWAP):
    We also have an Anchored VWAP available, which is calculated separately for each timeframe.

    Could you please clarify if the Session VWAP you’re referring to is different from this?
    If possible, a short description or example would help us better understand your use case.

    Looking forward to your reply.

      Thanks for reply, the shift T does what i want and makes the screen less annoying. The bottom terminal window can be pulled out but you cannot just put it away again. I tried FTO a while back and abandonned it for this particular reason. Unless you knpw to shift T you cannot get the bottom trrminal out the way. At the time i thought there must be a way but it was not obvious or easy and i just thought if they cannot make such a basic thing easy what else is likely non intuitive and abandoned FTO for nakedcharts i think. Yes the anchored vwap will do fine. I like to try using volume tools using futures for forex. Appreciate that is not something that can be done via FTO. Still i like to look and compare Sierra chart, Ninja trader replay and any other backtesting tools available for different use cases. Douglas.

        Hello @Douglas Robertson,

        Thank you for the detailed feedback - I really appreciate you taking the time to share it. It is very helpful to hear where the experience felt unintuitive, especially around the terminal and the Shift+T shortcut.

        I also appreciate the broader context on how you're comparing FTO with other tools for different use cases. Thanks again for giving FTO another look and for being so candid about what got in the way before.
