MetaTrader 4 trade execution modes
An order is an instruction to perform a trade. There are three trade execution modes on the MT4 platform:
-
Execution by market: Your order opens a position at the latest price, even if there’s a deviation from what is visible on the platform. This results in a much faster execution of orders, as it doesn’t involve any requotes.*
*Supported by Octa - Instant execution: The system tries to execute your order using the current price on the platform. If the exchange rate changes while the order is being processed, a requote option becomes available, which the trader can accept or reject.
- Execution on request: Prices are requested before the order is placed. Once the exchange rates come in, order execution can be confirmed or rejected.
MetaTrader 4 charting tools for technical analysis
MetaTrader 4 offers advanced charting capabilities to determine entry and exit points with technical analysis, which uses historical price and volume data to help traders make predictions. It's also possible to open trading orders straight from the chart.
How to perform technical analysis of Forex MarketMT4 opens with four charts by default, each representing a unique currency pair. The Market Watch window with two tabs is on the left of the charts. The Symbols tab shows a list of currency pairs with their bid and ask prices, while the Tick Charts tab shows the real-time price activity of chosen currency pairs. Below this is the Navigator window, where traders can view their account(s), indicators, and Expert Advisors.
You can customise each chart's appearance. For example, by choosing one of nine different timeframes (including one minute, five minutes, one hour, daily, weekly, monthly, and more). You can also add graphical objects to the charts, such as shapes (rectangle, triangle, ellipse), arrows, and text.
How to use Autochartist MetaTrader pluginAvailable chart types
Charting tools help identify trends and support and resistance levels for price forecasting.
- Trend: Important price levels at which an asset's price is most likely to move in the direction that is opposite to the current trend direction.
- Support and resistance: This allows determination of when and in which direction to open a position, and gives an indication of the potential profit (or loss).
The MT4 platform offers 30 built-in technical analysis indicators for making calculations based on price movements. These indicators allow traders to predict or confirm trends, patterns, and support and resistance levels. They are categorised into types, such as Trends, Oscillators, Volumes, and Custom. Once selected, the indicator appears on the chart. You can choose from a range of available indicators, download a custom indicator, or create your own.
MetaTrader 4 automated trading
MetaTrader 4 automated trading
The MT4 platform allows automated trading. You can develop your own set of rules for trade entries and exits with the help of automated trading robots (Expert Advisors), which help avoid instinctual blunders while trading. As the system trades mechanically, based on predetermined conditions, your performance won't be affected by emotions. Automated trades are also executed much quicker, leading to a decreased chance of slippage.
Expert Advisors (trading robots) in MetaTrader 4
Expert Advisors (trading robots) in MetaTrader 4
Expert Advisors (EA) help traders make more informed decisions. These flexible software utilities can automatically execute trades and assimilate all the information available on the platform to conduct market analysis and Forex trading. This means you can develop, test, and apply EAs to eliminate obstacles in analytical trading activities. Expert Advisors are written in a proprietary programming language called MetaQuotes Language Version 4.
We offer automated trading via Expert Advisors. With them, you can place buy and sell orders in market conditions specified by you, typically based on price movements and technical indicators. Automated trading helps traders enter and exit positions much faster than manual trading.
How to start trading in 4 easy stepsForex robots for scalping
Scalping allows traders to take profit opportunities even when the price changes are very small. To make any meaningful profit with this strategy, you need to place multiple intraday trades. Even though the price changes are small, they add up over the course of the day—smaller profit opportunities are easier to catch than the larger ones. This is also a good risk management strategy, as it doesn't involve taking on big risks in the hope of huge profits.
Market volatility presents several attractive profit-making opportunities when you use Forex robots, as they provide greater accuracy and speed in trading. EAs are programmed to monitor fluctuations in various currencies and automatically enter and exit market orders with trading logic used in the trading system.
