The MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the most popular trading platform in the world which offers everything you need to do online trading on a single interface. Inside the platform you can find a powerful combination of analytical technology and cutting-edge trading tools which allow the trader to implement even the most complex trading strategies.
Moreover, the MT4 is extremely “expandable” in fact it is possible to create automatic or semi-automatic functions with which the trader can improve their activity, including: indicators, Expert Advisors and scripts, among other things.
Indicators. The indicators are purely visual object for manual trading. They attach to the current graph or open in a separate window.
Expert Advisor (EA). The Experts Advisors (EA) are programmes which allow the Metatrader to enter the market autonomously. They attach to the current graph, but can also be opened on several graphs at the same time. Your strategy can be automatised, and after a thorough analysis you will be able to drastically limit your time in front of the screen.
Scripts. The Scripts are programmes which allow the MT4 to enter the market autonomously. Differently from the EA, they execute One Shot commands, so only once. They attach to the current graph. They are used to drastically speed up your market operations, as necessary during the macro data or add Stop and Target very quickly to the existing operations.
Operation panels or Dashboards. The dashboards allow the trader to have several parametres immediately visible on the MT4 graph. Obviously, you can interact with them to insert orders, modify existing order in the market or assess any eventual quick entry.
