Metatrader 4: Trade Execution Modes

An order is an instruction to perform a trade. There are three trade execution modes on the MT4 platform:

• Execution by Market: Your order opens a position at the latest price, even if there's a deviation from what is visible on the platform. This results in much faster execution of orders, as it doesn't involve requotes.^{*
  *}Supported by OctaFX
• Instant Execution: The system tries to execute your order using the current price on the platform. If the exchange rate changes while the order is being processed, a requote option becomes available, which the trader can accept or reject.
• Execution on Request: Prices are requested before the order is placed. Once the exchange rates come in, order execution can be confirmed or rejected.

Metatrader 4: Сharting Tools for Technical Analysis

Metatrader 4 offers advanced charting capabilities to determine entry and exit points with technical analysis, which uses historical price and volume data to help make predictions. It's also possible to send trading orders straight from the chart.

How to perform technical analysis of Forex Market

By default, MT4 opens with four charts, each representing a unique currency pair. On the left of the charts is the Market Watch window, with two tabs. The Symbols tab shows a list of currency pairs with their bid and ask prices, while the Tick Charts tab shows the real-time price activity of chosen currency pairs. Below this is the Navigator window, where traders can view their account(s), indicators and Expert Advisors.

The appearance of the charts can be customised. Each currency pair on the chart can be seen in nine different timeframes (including one minute, five minutes, one hour, daily, weekly, monthly). Graphical objects can be included in the charts, such as shapes (rectangle, triangle, ellipse), arrows and text.

How to use Autochartist MetaTrader plugin

Chart types include:

Line chart:

The most basic, showing closing prices.

Bar chart:

Shows open, high, low and closing prices.

Candlestick chart:

The most popular, showing open, high, low and closing prices, including high and low prices for each period. Bullish and bearish candlestick charts are usually displayed in two different colours.

Charting tools help identify trends and support and resistance levels for price forecasting.

• Trend: This is the most basic technique in technical analysis. It helps identify the direction of market movement, with the two major market trends being uptrend and downtrend.
• Support and resistance: This allows determination of when and in which direction to open a position, and gives an indication of the potential profit (or loss).

The MT4 platform offers 30 inbuilt technical analysis indicators, to make calculations based on price movements. These indicators allow prediction or confirmation of trends, patterns and support and resistance levels. They are categorised within types, such as Trends, Oscillators, Volumes and Custom. Once selected, the indicator appears on the chart. A trader can choose from a range of available indicators, download a custom indicator, or create their own.

Metatrader 4 Automated Trading

Metatrader 4 Automated Trading

The MT4 platform allows automated trading. A trader can develop his own set of rules for trade entries and exits with the help of automated trading robots (Expert Advisors), which helps avoid instinctual blunders while trading. As the system trades mechanically, based on predetermined conditions, a trader's performance won't be affected by second-guessing and losses. Trades are also automatically executed with faster reaction times, leading to lower chances of slippage costs.

Automated trading helps traders to enter and exit positions much faster than with manual trading.

Expert Advisor (Trading Robots) in Metatrader 4

Expert Advisor (Trading Robots) in Metatrader 4

An Expert Advisor (EA) can help traders make more informed decisions. They can be programmed into the platform to automatically execute trades on a live platform. EAs are written in a proprietary programming language called MetaQuotes Language Version 4. These flexible software utilities can assimilate all the information available on the platform to conduct market analysis and Forex trading. This means it's possible to develop, test and apply EAs to eliminate obstacles in analytical trading activities.

OctaFX offers automated trading using an Expert Advisor to place buy or sell orders with specific market conditions, typically based on price movements and technical indicators. Automated trading helps traders to enter and exit positions much faster than with manual trading.

Forex Robots for Scalping

This strategy, called scalping, makes it possible to take profit opportunities even when there are only very small price changes. To make any meaningful difference, it requires traders to place multiple trades during the day, so even though the price changes are small, they add up over the course of the day. Often smaller profit opportunities are easier to catch than the larger ones. This is also a good risk management strategy, since it does not involve taking on big risks in the hope of huge profits.

Market volatility presents several attractive profit-making opportunities when you use Forex robots that provide greater accuracy in Forex and CFD trading. For this, the EA is programmed to monitor fluctuations in various currencies and automatically enter and exit market orders with trading logic used in the trading system. The EA is programmed to trade only when the predetermined trading indicators are reached.
