What is Metatrader

MetaTrader Global — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:44:33 +0000

By definition, a trading manager is one who is in charge of the people who are buying and selling investments at financial institutions. Traders are struggling with managing the trade. They are always in the lookout for more features and as well as better ways for them to manage their trades.

A Metatrader is trading software that is developed by Meta Quotes Software. This software is used for trading financial instruments online like forex, futures and options. This software was developed in the year 2002. It has evolved as among the most successful tools for trading at all times. This software includes MQL4. This is a scripting language that involves a powerful capability of real-time processing. It is also able to provide even the smallest details in indicators. The 4.0 version is the most widely used. This includes more than fifty indicators built to it that will monitor the markets in precise ways.

A complete package of this software includes a server, mobile, client terminal, administrators, data center and manager. The client terminal is the one providing the options for trading and as well a real time information regarding the market and the indicators. However, for you to be able to start trading using this client terminal, you need to have a live account first. The most important part is the server. This is what holds the requests of the trading. It is managed by the administrator. The inquiries information and customer accounts are all managed by the manager console. The data center console is the one used to reduce the load of trading in the main server. This will help achieve an efficient level of application.

Forex Charts: Tic, Line, Bar, Point and Figure

MetaTrader Global — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:18:11 +0000

One of the best forex trader techniques for establishing positions in an online trading account involves analyzing exchange rate charts for a currency pair. Technical forex traders might use a variety of chart types for this purpose, which can include tic or tick charts, line charts, bar charts and point and figure charts.

The following sections will discuss each of the aforementioned chart types in greater detail. Although Japanese candlestick charts are also very popular among forex traders, a discussion of that especially detailed charting method lies outside the scope of this article.

The Tic Chart

The tic or tick chart is one of the best forex trader tools for very short term trading strategies such as scalping, or for timing an entry into the market being analyzed. This popular chart type lacks a time frame and simply involves graphing a new tick each time that the exchange rate changes. Most forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will also be able to plot both the bid and offer exchange rates on their tic charts, as Figure 1 below illustrates.

The Line Chart

The line chart is another useful tool that helps traders smooth out the price action and identify trends. This chart type includes a time component and typically involves graphing the closing exchange rates for each time period depicted and connecting the resulting dots with straight lines.

Most forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will be able to plot line charts similar to Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: A daily line chart for GBP/USD showing the closing exchange rate in black.

The Bar Chart

The bar chart is one of the best forex trader tools and provides much more information than the line chart. Like the line chart, the bar chart includes a time component, but it typically involves graphing a vertical line or bar between the high and the low exchange rates for each time period time depicted, as well as a left tick at the opening level and a right tick at the closing level.

Forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will usually be able to plot bar charts similar to Figure 3 below.

The Point and Figure Chart

The Point and Figure chart is considered the best forex trader tool by many professional traders and it focuses only on price action. A Point and Figure chart lacks a time component, and it usually involves graphing a series of X’s or green boxes to show an upward move and a series of O’s or red boxes to show a downward move.

These unusual charts are typically parameterized by a box size expressed in pips and the number of boxes required to show a reversal from X’s to O’s or vice versa.

Although primarily used by professionals who often create them by hand on graph paper, retail forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker might need to obtain a special indicator for their trading platform in order to be able to plot Point and Figure charts similar to Figure 4 below.

Figure 4: A Point and Figure chart for the GBP/USD currency pair with X’s plotted in green and O’s plotted in red, and using a box size of 5 pips and a three box reversal. Resistance trend lines are plotted as green lines, while support trend lines are shown in red

MetaTrader 4 Tips

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 05:59:37 +0000

Make sure that the MT4 (MetaTrader 4) is running on a computer which is connected to internet all the time. This is important because MetaTrader 4 and the expert advisor is not running on your broker’s servers. Many of the functions of EA or forex software can be performed successful only if it is constantly connected to the internet. For instance, if you have set a trailing stop, MetaTrader 4 will send out a command to your forex broker account to move the stop each time and hence the MT4 along with your autopilot forex software need to be connected to the world wide web all the time.
