What is MT4?
MT4 is a trading platform developed and provided by MetaQuotes. It is the most used trading tool in the world and is the trading tool adopted by FX brokers all over the world.

It is very simple to use and easy to make profits. The tools are displayed as a list on the official website and can be downloaded for free. We will introduce the contents of the tool for your reference.
EA
MT4 can use automatic trading programs. The advantage of automated trading is that it eliminates all emotional and subjective biases. However, the failure rate is extremely high, and 99% of operators have suffered hardships, so please think carefully about whether or not to actually do it. You can set up how to start and the rules yourself, and standard settings can be made to suit each method.
technical indicators
MT4 allows you to use more than 20 indicators by default for high-performance charts. Therefore, MT4 is also recommended for those who like very maniac trading. Thorough technical analysis is essential when holding a position. Knowledge is essential at first, but by checking it, you can find out the reason why you are losing.
Development completed
MT4 already has a policy that the development company will not fix any bugs. Because of this, even if there is a problem in the future, it will not be fixed. MT4 is not recommended because so many users have migrated to MT5. As a risk and precaution, the number of users will decrease in the future. Be sure to migrate to MT5 eventually.
