MT4 User Guide for Beginners

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is a popular trading platform for Forex and gold markets. To get started, download the software from your broker’s website or install the MT4 app from the App Store or Google Play.
After installation, open the platform and log in using your account number, password, and the server provided by your broker. Once the bottom right corner shows “Connected,” you’re successfully logged in.
The MT4 interface includes: Market Watch (price list), Chart (candlestick chart), Terminal (order management), and Navigator (accounts and indicators). To open a chart, right-click on a symbol in Market Watch and select “Chart Window.” To add technical indicators, go to the Insert menu > Indicators.
To place an order, press F9 or right-click on the chart and choose “New Order,” then enter the volume and select Buy or Sell. You can also set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels if needed. For pending orders, choose the order type under “Pending Order,” set your desired price, and confirm.
To manage your trades, go to the “Trade” tab at the bottom where you can modify or close orders by right-clicking them. Trading history is available under the “Account History” tab.
MT4 supports chart customization, saving templates, and using advanced indicators. It’s a flexible platform suitable for both beginners and experienced traders. Practice regularly to master its features.
Good luck with your trading journey!
