You can download historical data from the MT4 trading platform by clicking on:
Tools > History Centre – then choose a trading instrument and finally press the 'Download' button.
History will then be available on your trading platform so that you can click on:
File > Open offline > Open Offline Chart.
Please note that the longer the time frame, the longer the available history will be. For example, M5 history is available for 1.5 weeks, M15 records for one month, etc.
You can set Stop Loss and Take Profit orders with no limits on all account types. SL and TP orders will still be active, even if your computer is switched off. The minimum Trailing Stop level is 1.5 pips or 15 points. It is possible to set only one trailing stop per order. It would be best if you had the MT4 platform open to keep the trailing stop active.
Negative price movement can potentially lead to a margin call and the subsequent triggering of an automated margin close-out of positions. If market conditions are unfavorable to you, we will set a stop-out level to reduce your maximum loss. This means that we will set a threshold of margin value, below which positions are automatically closed. This stop out is set at 30% of the margin.
With MetaTrader 4, you can use automated trading strategies called expert advisors (EA) to perform prompt technical analysis of price data and manage trading activities based on current market conditions. If you are using an EA and do not have a Virtual Private Server subscription, your EAs will stop running when you are logged out of Meta Trader.
All charts in MT4 are displayed using the bid price only. To show the ask or offer price, please select the map, press F8 on your keyboard, and enable "Show Ask line" under the "Common" tab.
Within the Market Watch window, all of the currency pairs eligible to trade can be viewed by right-clicking within this section and select 'Show All.' This will display the requested currency pairs.
