MT4 and MT5 are trading platforms
MT4 and MT5 are software platforms used by many FX and CFD traders. You can open charts, place orders, use indicators, check account history, and run EA. MT4 is older and very popular for EA. MT5 is newer, supports more markets and has improved structure. Which one is best depends on broker, EA compatibility and account type.
What a beginner must learn first
Before EA, user should know how to open chart, change timeframe, add indicator, check spread, place buy/sell, close order, check history, save report and stop auto trading. If user cannot close a trade manually, user should not run EA yet.
How to install EA safely
EA file usually goes into Experts folder. Then restart platform, attach EA to chart, enable Algo Trading / AutoTrading, set inputs, check smile icon or status, and watch journal log. Never run unknown EA on real account before demo. Keep version number and setting file saved.
MT4/MT5 operation checklist
Use this as how-to checklist:
- Install platform from broker official page.
- Login with correct server, account number and password.
- Open symbol chart such as XAUUSD or USDJPY.
- Set timeframe H1/H4 for analysis and M5/M15 for timing.
- Check spread before entry.
- Learn how to close all trades manually.
- Download account history monthly.
- Keep EA settings and version record.
MT4/MT5 and tax records
Platform history is not only for trading review. It is tax record material. Save monthly statement and annual statement. If account currency is USD, also keep JPY conversion memo. EA users may have many trades, so monthly export is easier than doing everything at tax season.
