In MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), there are 4 ways to display multiple charts simultaneously. If you wish to show all the charts in the same size, use "Tile Windows". If you wish to overlay them, use "Cascade". If you wish to line them up vertically, use "Tile Horizontally". If you wish to line them up horizontally, use "Tile Vertically".

Here we'll look at how to arrange the chart windows on MT4/MT5.

The order of the symbol tabs determines how the charts are arranged. The chart for the left-most symbol in the symbol tabs will be placed in the top left corner, the chart for the right-most symbol will be in the bottom right corner, and the other symbols will be arranged vertically from left to right. This is the same regardless of the chart alignment type.

For example, if the charts for four symbols are being displayed when the "Tile Windows" is selected, the order of the symbol tabs and the chart order will be as in the image below.
