Templates on the Charts Menu in the MetaTrader 4 Platform Software
The templates option is available within the charts menu of the MT4 software. Many traders utilize the MT4 template to save their gold trading systems, allowing them to load their trading strategies onto a new chart directly from this template option, thus avoiding the need to manually input chart indicators each time they open a new trading chart. The Change Template feature in MetaTrader 4 enables traders to save multiple gold trading templates, allowing them to switch between different templates while trading on MT4 charts.
The Templates Option on the MetaTrader 4 Platform Software is Shown Below:

Save a Trading Strategy as a Template in MT4 Platform Software
For example as a trader you might come up with a trading system illustrated and shown below.

It takes 5 minutes to set up this system, and you would need five minutes to set it up on each chart you open. But the MT4 template will save you time by saving this trading strategy as a MT4 template. To use this MT4 template on another chart, you just need to load it on the MetaTrader 4 software.
To keep the gold system, click the templates button in the MetaTrader 4 charts menu, and then choose to save the template.

After choosing the save template button the following pop up will appear and you can save MetaTrader 4 template & give it a name such as shown below.

First, give your MT4 template a name - let's call it “tradeforextrading” - then hit ‘Save.'
