MetaTrader 4's installation is simple than you think. This trading platform is user-friendly and offers lots of customization options. MetaTrader 4 can be customized in many ways, including creating custom indicators and expert advisors. You can also add commodities. Here are some helpful tips:
Customizing MetaTrader 4
Before you begin to customize your MetaTrader chart, you should learn a little bit about the different types of technical analysis available. Technical analysis is a way to interpret historical prices in order to predict future price movements. Trading theories often involve looking at historical prices to help make trading decisions. Understanding the basics of technical analysis is easy with the Elliott Waves theory. This method counts price waves using a combination numbers and letters to identify corrective and impulsive moves.
Installing custom indicators
First, configure your custom indicators before installing them in Metatrader 4. You can access the Tools menu, or press Ctrl+O to open the client terminal settings. All indicators share the same working parameters. Click the Edit button and select the Expert Advisors tab. Notice: DLL usage is required for custom indicators. This allows them to have more functionality and not be limited. This option is disabled so the indicators don't have to use DLLs externally.
Expert advisors
The following steps are necessary to create an expert advisor in MetaTrader 4. First, you will need to download the relevant expert advisor. This information can be found in MetaEditor (located in the upper navigation bar). Next, copy the file to MT4's data folder. Once you've done this, your Expert Advisor code can be written. You will need to have some knowledge about coding in order to create your Expert Advisor.
Adding commodities to MetaTrader 4
Adding commodities to MetaTrader 4 is similar to adding CFDs on shares or indices. After you have installed the software open the Symbols window and choose the Spot Metals folder. Within this folder, you will find 'GOLD' and 'SILVER' symbols. Additionally, there are 'Tabajara’ and 'Spot Forex’ folders.
Change the time
Metatrader 4 will change the time. You'll see that the platform of your trading account is not set to the local time at your home. In fact, it may even be set to an alternate time zone. This will cause your trading to occur an hour after normal. Fortunately, it is simple to change the time on your MetaTrader platform. Navigate to your settings menu and click "General." Next, choose "Preferences," then click "Timezone."
