Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will be prompted to the quotes section, and as you have probably guessed this is where you see some of the symbols available for you to trade. You have an extra option here, Simple or Advanced, the simple version as you can see allows you to see the symbols and the prices while the advanced version gives you more insights such as time, spread, low and highs. Pick the one you find best for you and the app will memorize it so you don’t have to swap back and forth all the time.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, To add more symbols in this screen, tap the plus icon on the top right corder, on the new screen enter symbol for search on the top bar, now depends on your broker you will get quite a few options so if you want to add gold for example , type in XAU and tap the green plus button next to it, automatically it will be added to your quotes.<\/p>\n

You can also tap the pair and you will get a few more information such as spread, digits, contract size and so on. To get back to quotes tap the back button on the top left side. Now you are back to quotes and if you scroll down you will be able to see gold vs USD we just added.<\/p>\n

To remove a trading pair from your main quotes screen, tap the pencil image on the top left side. Now tap the pairs you wish to remove, you will see a checkmark in a red circle and tap the trash image on the top right side. The pair has been removed. To move the pairs around to your liking, tap and hold the three lines next to them and scroll them up or down, to your liking.<\/p>\n

Once you are finished tap the pencil icon once more to get back to the quotes. From here and by tapping on any of the pairs you can trade, check the charts, and look at details.<\/p>\n

Starting with trade, once you tap it you get the pair on the top, you can change it by tapping on it, and choose the one you like, keep in mind the choices you will have are based on the pairs you have or you added on your quotes screen. So if you don’t see a pair you would like to trade here, go back and add it by using the path we followed earlier.<\/p>\n

We will get on to how to place an order a bit later on the video after we make ourselves fully aware of the application, so please bear with us.<\/p>\n

The second option you will get from tapping a pair is the chart, tapping on it will open the pair\u2019s chart for you. The app will memorize your last open chart, which means if you tap anywhere on the app and tap the chart image after the same pair will be there.<\/p>\n

To switch pair on the chart you have to get back to quotes and tap on any pair and pick a chart.<\/p>\n

Tapping details will provide you the same info we mentioned earlier, such as spread, digits, spot level, contract size and so on.<\/p>\n

Chart<\/h2>\n

The next major section on the app is the chart, and it offers quite a few options to the user.<\/p>\n

Currently the chart is in 5 minutes time frame , to change that tap the M5 on the top left side of the toolbar, and more options will appear, pick the one that works best for you, for example I will pick 1 hour, as you can see the chart changed.<\/p>\n

The next icon on the toolbar is the \u201ctarget\u201d one, by tapping it you see a target cross appearing in your screen, this allows you to check a specific time and price accurately<\/p>\n

To remove it tap f, and on the next screen tap edit , by tapping the red button you will get the option to delete it.<\/p>\n

On your chart you can add objects, like lines, channels, Fibonacci, elliott waves, and shapes. To get access to all these tap the objects icon, then add objects and you get all the options mentioned above. To place the object on your chart pick the one you want, lets pick a horizontal line for example.<\/p>\n

It is a bit tricky to get it right but once you do it once you will get used to it, Basically you need to tap the line or the object you picked on the top right of the chart and then move your finger inside the chart in the palace you want it.
\nNow if you tap and hold on the line, or the object you picked and move it around as you like. If you prolong your tap you will get the option to delete it or check properties. On properties you can change name, point and the color of the line, once you finish your changes tap done and you will return back to the chart.<\/p>\n

You can switch your chart to bar or line chart instead of bar chart, add volumes, ask price line, period separators, trade level, OHLC, Data window or to disable trade levels, trade history and preload chart data, and very importantly to enable or disable one tap trading.<\/p>\n

Trade<\/h2>\n

The next main function on the application is trade, there you can see your balance, equity margin, free margin and margin level. For better demonstrating this function I have opened a few orders, we will get on how to shortly as well.<\/p>\n

Once you have open orders on the top bar you will see the profit or loss of those positions added together.<\/p>\n

So in the trade tab, you can check as well all your open orders, and how they perform in the market. To close or to modify an order you need to tap and hold for a second for the options to appear.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

The history tab allows you to check your daily, weekly, monthly or custom period timeframe of your orders, profit or loss, credit, deposit , withdrawal and balance.<\/p>\n

The last tab on your screen is the settings one. Here you can open a new account, log in to an existing one, get advanced trade reports, check your mailbox, and the news<\/p>\n

From here you can also sign and chat with the MQL5 community.<\/p>\n

The last 5 tabs are directed more on to personalize your application and increase safety so lets have a closer look at them.<\/p>\n

The One time password generator is working as a safety layer for your account. To set it up add a 4 digit code and then you will get a 6 digit code which works similar to google authenticator and is bound to this account. So you will need this code every time you try to login in to the bound trading accounts. To unbind the account, tap bind the account, turn off bind option on the bottom and tap unbind on the top right side. From here you can also change your 4 digit code.<\/p>\n

The interface tab allows you to change your language, while the journal provides detailed info on what you have done so far in the app.<\/p>\n

How to place orders<\/h3>\n

Now that we are familiar with what the application has to offer is time to place orders and finally see how that part works.<\/p>\n

There is actually one screen to place an order, but multiple way to get to it, so we will try to cover them all.<\/p>\n

First tap Quotes so you can get all the symbols you follow, then tap at the one you want to open an order, for example EURUSD, on the options appear tap trade, once on this screen, you can buy or sell fast, but you also have the option to add Stop loss, Take profit and deviation. Once these are set tap buy or sell.<\/p>\n

In case the price changes you will get a pop up saying you have been requoted and if you want to accept the new quotes.
\nCongrats your order has been placed, you will be prompted automatically to the trade tab, so you can check the performance of your new order.<\/p>\n

Another way to get to the trade screen is through the chart tab . Tap anywhere on the chart and and then tap the trade options. You will be prompted to the trading screen where you can trade once more following the steps we described a minute ago.<\/p>\n

The last way to place an order is from your trade tab by tapping the ( plus) icon on the top right of your phone. Then you can pick the pair you want to trade and once more set up your preferred setting in your order and place it.<\/p>\n

To close a position or to modify it, tap and hold for a second on an open order in the traders tab, and choose accordingly.<\/p>\n

If you tap the close position , you get to an additional screen in which you can close the order by tapping the orange line in your phone to close the order. Done, the order was closed.<\/p>\n

If you tap modify, you get the option to change your existing stop loss and take profit. To do that just tap on the stop loss or take profit tabs on your screen. Once you have added your preferred values, tap modify.<\/p>\n
