I am miffed �??
OK I just downloaded MT4 and opened a demo acc, with $3000 on a 1:100 ratio
I thought the best way to familiarize myself, was just to play around.
So I select EUR/GBP (it could have been any), but I just selected that. NOW, everywhere I read, it advises on putting in a stop loss BEFORE you actually do the trade.
So I decide I want to BUY EUR/GPB�…here is what the boxes have so far
Volume = 1.0
Stop loss box is = 0.0000 Take Profit box = 0.0000
Type = Instant execution
The following is just an example from memory
I press the BUY button �t 0,8610 (entry price)
I want to put a S/L of 35 pips from entry price (0.8575) & a Take profit at 50 pips from entry price (0.8660)
Every time I try to put these values in to the Stop loss box & Take Profit box, it won�t accept the values.
I notice that the value fields in Stop loss box & Take Profit box, have 5 zeros after decimal point.
What am I doing wrong ??
Does anyone know of online video tutorials of how to use MT4, that actually shows you how to do this?
I googled and found many sites, but none show how to enter these values.
