Setting up the Platform

Once you have the platform downloaded, installed and are logged in, you are now ready to start using the platform. In this lesson, we cover how to set up the right symbols and how to place an order.

The Market Watch section of the MT4 platform contains the Symbols you can open charts with. You can access all the symbols to hide or show by going to View, then Symbols (or press CTRL U).

You can then show or hide the symbols you want to use, they will then be visible in the market watch section of the platform.

Once the symbols are set, the video above takes you through how to use some of the tools and also placing an order using the Trade Manager.
