MT4 PLATFORM FEATURES
What’s inside MetaTrader 4
From charts and orders to Expert Advisors — the tools traders use every day
MT4 puts charts, indicators, order tickets, and EA automation in one terminal. Watch the market, manage trades, or test a strategy — without leaving the platform you already know.
Module 01｜Charts & technical analysis
Charts built for reading price action
Flip between timeframes, layer indicators, and draw levels when you need them. MT4 gives you a practical chart workspace for studying how markets move.
Set up the layout you like, mark key zones, and keep your analysis organized — whether you’re watching minutes or the monthly view.
built-in indicators
Moving averages, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and more. Mix them to check trend, momentum, and volatility.
drawing tools
Trendlines, channels, Fibonacci tools, and other objects for marking levels, patterns, and possible support or resistance.
Module 02｜Orders & trade management
Place trades and keep your account easy to follow
Market and pending orders, stop tools, and account details live in the same terminal — so you can send a trade now or set conditions and stay on top of what’s open.
Order types that fit the plan
Market orders plus four pending types — handy when you want to enter now or wait for a price.
Stops you can set ahead of time
Stop loss, take profit, and trailing stop help you define exits before the market moves against you.
Positions, history & account info
See open trades, order status, balances, and history in one place for day-to-day checks.
Module 03｜EA automation
Build it, test it, then let it run
Expert Advisors are written in MQL4. Use MetaEditor to code, the Strategy Tester to check history, then run the EA when your setup and server allow it.
01 Write your own rules
Code EAs that match how you trade — entries, exits, and risk settings included.
02 Backtest before you go live
Run the Strategy Tester on historical data and compare parameter sets so you’re not flying blind.
03 Hand off the repetitive work
When conditions allow, an EA can watch the market and place trades by your rules — less clicking, same logic.
Automation doesn’t guarantee profits. Results depend on markets, settings, your terminal build, and how your broker executes.
Module 04｜Mobile trading
Markets in your pocket
At the office, at home, or on the move — the MT4 apps let you check quotes, open charts, and manage your account from a phone or tablet.
01 Live quotes
Follow prices across symbols, then tap into a chart when you want a quick read.
02 Charts on the go
Switch timeframes, add indicators, and review price action without sitting at a desktop.
03 Account & orders
See balances, open positions, and history — and manage orders when you need to act away from your desk.
Module 05｜Signals & extensions
Add-ons that stretch what MT4 can do
Signals, custom indicators, Market apps, and MQL4 code — extras when the built-ins aren’t enough
Beyond the charts and order tools that ship with MT4, you can plug in signal services, custom indicators, MetaTrader Market products, and code from the community.
Follow someone else’s strategy, build your own indicator, or hunt for an EA that fits how you trade — extensions help you shape the terminal around your habits.
01
Signals & copy trading
See how others trade before you commit
Browse signal providers, check their track record and risk stats, and subscribe if something fits.
When the setup allows it, MT4 can copy a provider’s trades based on your subscription — useful for research or hands-off following.
02
Custom indicators
When the built-ins aren’t quite right
Load MQL4 indicators for trend, price, or other views that match how you read charts.
Use MetaEditor or community resources to extend your toolkit and keep your chart workspace personal.
03
Market & Code Base
Browse EAs, indicators, and scripts
MetaTrader Market and the Code Base are where you’ll find Expert Advisors, indicators, and helper scripts.
Some are free, some are paid — pick what you need to expand analysis or automation.
Shape MT4 around how you actually trade
Signals, indicators, and Market tools can fill gaps the defaults don’t cover.
Go to Download CenterSignals, EAs, and third-party tools can involve fees and trading risk. Past results don’t guarantee future performance — and no strategy can promise profits.
