Desktop MT4 User Interface

Updated today

The terminal User Interface can be divided into 5 main sections:

1. Charts window:
A chart is the basis of data analysis. Besides price changes, you can locate various analytical objects in the chart: line studies, technical and custom indicators, texts, and geometrical figures.

2. Toolbars menu:
Four toolbars are built into the terminal: "Standard," "Charts," "Line Studies," and "Timeframes." The toolbars contain duplicated commands and functions of the main menu. However, these toolbars are customizable so that one can collect only the most used widgets in them.

3. Market watch

4. The navigator:

Open accounts, expert advisors, indicators, and scripts are grouped in the navigation window. The "Navigator" can help to control them promptly.

5. Terminal window:

The terminal is a multifunctional window intended for working with trade positions, news, account history, alerts, internal mail, and logs of the program and expert advisors. Moreover, the "Terminal" window allows opening and modifying orders of different kinds and managing trade positions
