What is the fastest / best way to learn MT4?

Hi there

Im switching my trading platform from esignal to MT4. Can anyone suggest a fast way to learn how to use MT4…???

Thanks heaps

you tubes a good place to look.

It wont take long if you get yourself a demo account and simply just use it for a while!

N

Yeah, I second that - YouTube is the best place to look …

maybe youtube is a good place to learn but there are a lot of videos from there and also different way of teachings. the best way to learn is to explore it and also if there are things that you don’t understand, google is your friend, youtube at your side,

Isnt using MT4 a risk when using Stop Loss or take profit trades?
Or for that matter any thick client based software for executing trades.

What happens if you enter the stop loss, the trade executes and you leave the machine and go to work and your trusted internet goes down?

if I’m not mistaken, your SL &TP are saved on your broker side too

the best way is to grab mt4 from any good broker, (e.g. fxcm, ibfx, fxopen, alpari), install it, and mess about with it urself.

Thats correct!

Yes, Its only the trailing stops that can get affected if you lose connection.

this might not be the fastest way but once you’ve read the manuals there nothing you won’t know how to do.Manual is well written and explains everything in good detail

Alpari and Interbank videos tutorials. You Tube as well but You Tube is too messy.

The manual of the MT4 itself have all the correct answers you need.

It can be quite messy. Especially the terrible resolution often associated with them.

Best and fast way is to learn quickly from video tutorial, audio tutorial, interactive PPT.
