MT4 or MT5 - is the question!

Personally, I prefer trading with MT4, cause it has more user-friendly interface. Plus my current broker and majority of other companies work with MT4.

I, personally, trade using Metatrader 4 and I have no intention of moving. That said, I have only heard good things about Metatrader 5 lately, so I think it's worth to test both.

Automated trading platform is now being used. For this reason, a forex trader must be cautious to choose his broker as not all brokers can ensure well-timed, fastest and orderly trade executions all the time. Otherwise no trader can take the full advantage of the trading platforms presented before him. And yes, I favor to use MT4 platform as it is a benchmark platform for the stakeholders of decentralized market.

Initially, remain educated by checking the Economic Calendar each day, with the goal that you are prepared for market-moving economic occasions. Certain news releases and occasions can trigger high instability in the business sectors, which implies that you'll see enormous swings in the price of a benefit. Instability is brought about by a quick increase in buying and selling, and this abrupt spike in dynamic exchanges can altogether increase benefits and losses.

The MT4 trading platform is the easiest to use. I personally like it, I do not switch to MT5.

In this article, we will develop a script from scratch to visualize deals during retrospective analysis of trading decisions. Simply put, if we trade manually and analyze our past market entries in order to improve our trading performance, we want to spend as little time as possible on manual history analysis and the purely technical work associated with it: opening charts, searching for deals in history, manually saving print screens in the terminal, independently drawing Stop Loss and Take Profit for completed deals, as well as collecting information on paid commissions and swaps. The script we are going to develop here will help to significantly reduce all mechanical work. Using the script (having collected it from the attachments below), you will be able to significantly reduce the time spent on technical work in order to pay more attention to analyzing trading decisions. Those who do not want to spend time assembling the projects can download a ready-made version of the script on the MQL5 Market. The script development will be divided in two parts with the source code attached to each part in full.
