Top 10 MetaTrader Tips

Purchase and sale of MetaTrader is about as easy. However, there are a number of functions in the platform that most traders do not know. Here are the top 10 things to save me more time to work every day with MetaTrader.

1-В  Use the models. Models are arrays of indicators and chart settings that a personalized look and feel. They help you avoid that the same task over and over again. The video below explains how to configure them.

2-В  Measure the number of bars back. Select the tool bar reticle. Left click on any bar, then drag the mouse. You will be a box with numbers such as 8 / 109 / 117 809, which is an example that I have to do with the GBP / JPY. In this case, see the box tells me that my position is 8 bars long, micropips 109 (10.9 pips) high and the price is 117.809.

3-В  Change the icon of a chart that you have already opened. Place the mouse in the lower left corner of a very open map. You will see the icon change. If this happens, double-click it. You can now use the name of the symbol. Press Enter to edit the graphic.

4- Use scripts to the little things, like putting the stops and limits, opening new jobs and the elimination of all pending orders in your account to do. It is a task that often requires some programming MMS.

5- Take screenshots inside MetaTrader. Right-click on the graphic. You will see an option that says: “Save Screenshot”.

6-В  Press the F5 key to change the properties of an Expert Advisor on the graph. I think it’s easier than moving my mouse all the time.

7- Press F8 to change the properties of a graph. This allows you, the colors, the display of the grid and all the visual elements you crazy to change.

8- Use to keep the profiles of your own office space. A profile allows you to use MetaTrader models on different cards, but to classify large groups. Take, for example, I will either GBP, AUD pairs trading. I was able to create two different profiles with different graphics settings and indicators. Every time I want to switch between them, I go to \ Profiles \ Next File. Otherwise I can just push the same control and F5 on the keyboard. How can you tell I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts.

9- Reduce the number of bars on your cards if you run your own indicators to slow. To Tools \ Options \ charts. Change the number of bars to something reasonable like 3000th You do not really need to scroll bars 50 000, while you are day trading.

10- Change the icons in Market Watch, if your broker is not displayed in any currency. Right-click on the window of market surveillance (the one that shows all the updated prices) click. Select “symbols” in the menu. Use the show and hide buttons, select the currencies you want to enable, disable and.
