The Metatrader4 Is By Far The Most Desired Trading Platform For Traders

By Rudolf Boquiren


For any trader having information, and tools that deliver this information, at ones fingertips is of utmost importance. And brokers know that traders are looking for this service too. This is why they offer the Metatrader4 to their clientele. This trading platform is the most versatile in the world of trading. It comes complete with news feeds, charting software, historical data, and a gamut of indicators. Not only this but a lot more is bundled with the Metatrader4 to make the trading experience a profitable one.

There are perhaps very few brokers that do not offer the Metatrader4 trading platform to their clients to trade from. Reams have been written about the advantages of this platform and yet not enough has been explained. Even though the Metatrader5 was developed and introduced over 18 months ago people never took kindly to it. Perhaps per force of habit using a more familiar platform the MT4.

Metatrader or MT4, as it is popularity known is the entire gamut that is required to make educated and well informed decisions in order to place trades that are to be profitable. Traders choose from among the most popular currency pairs and call up the charts that can be customizable. The charts can be set to display pricing in a time frame beginning from 5 minutes to a month.

These charts can be changed by the user to line, bar or candlestick charts. The charts can display opening or closing quotes as required. In addition to this feature, users can use drawing tools to draw trend lines, and many other forms to identify market trends and all superimposed on the chart itself.

The platform offers 50 indicators of which 20 are customizable. If one is not satisfied with the available indicators customized ones are available online for sale. These can be downloaded and installed on the trading platform to help make trading decisions.

MT4 is created with the MetaQuotes language. The tools are entirely customizable and there are thousands of indicators and alarms that can be bought or developed according to individual strategies and used with the platform. Installing and using the indicators is easy and requires not training.

Perhaps the most attractive feature for some traders will be the support for external Expert Advisors the MT4 platform offers. Expert Advisors, for the uninitiated, are automatic trading systems that work with the charting software to place orders and close them to book profits. All this is done in the absence of any human interference or supervision. All that is required for the EAs to work is a good internet connection and for the platform to be running. While all the benefits of the trading platform cannot be included in this article, one must reiterate, using the platform will expose all the benefits over time.
