What are the benefits of using metatrader?
There are two main benefits from my experience. The first is in the ability to code your strategy to automatically trade your account. Though discussion about the “benefit” of automated strategies or expert advisors tend to bring out some strong emotions on the forum from the supporters and opponents.
The second benefit is the charting. It has a powerful free charting package with an extensive selection of tools, indicators, etc.
Thanks a lot Jason, all info on the subject is helpful.
I just wish I could use MT for my micro account. I hate the clunky interface of the thing, but at least one can add all the possible indicators to it. My FXCM Trading Station doesn’t have any way to add custom indicators.
