Hello
Forgive the newbie question:
Does anyone know if MetaTrader displays such things as: pip value, margin/leverage, when at the point of making a trade? I’ve looked (F9) market order function but no joy. Would be helpful to see how much I am actually risking.
I have only ever found it AFTER the trade is placed ie terminal (Ctrl+t) this then shows (Account) Balance, Equity, (used) Margin, Free margin. To work out how much a pip is worth just divide win/loss by pips won/lost.
In an Oanda account all of the above is calculated on the screen BEFORE the trade is placed.
For more info on calcs. see school.
