// Script will take "snapshot" of chart and put it in a .gif file named 
// "Snapshot" by symbol, chart timeframe, and time (hhmmss)the picture was taken.

// By default MetaTrader puts files in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\experts\files

// Set _width and _height variables to match your screen resolution settings.

// To make it easier to find the most recent snapshots the times in the file name have 
// been set to local machine time. If you prefer broker time change "TimeLocal()" to
// "TimeCurrent()".
