Introduction to Metatrader 4
The Control Toolbar
The control toolbar on the upper left and the chart toolbar on the right provides shortcuts to various functions of MetaTrader 4. If you hold your mouse button over them they will tell you the specific function that they serve.
Control Toolbar
The control toolbar allows shortcuts to perform functions such as entering orders, loading new charts and loading the market watch window. It also has a strategy tester which allows you to test various expert advisors; we will discuss this in a later section of this tutorial.
The buttons below the control bar allow you to draw different analysis on your charts such as the Fibonacci, trend lines and channels. To activate a drawing tool simply click on it and move your cursor onto the chart and perform your drawing analysis.
The chart toolbar allows you to select the timeframe for the chart that you would like to analyze. Also available to you is the ability to select the time chart style, use line charts, candlestick charts and bar charts. You can also zoom in and out on your charts.
There will be a much more detailed chart section later in this tutorial.
