Mt4 Tutorials

MetaTrader 4 is powerful — and intimidating the first time you open it. The MT4 tutorials on this page take you from “I just installed the platform” to “I’m running an EA on a VPS with custom indicators and a tested strategy.” You’ll find guides for installing custom indicators and EAs, opening a demo account, placing your first trade, using the Strategy Tester to backtest ideas, building MT4 templates and profiles, mobile-app setup, multi-account management, keyboard shortcuts, VPS hosting, and the MT4-vs-MT5 decision. Each tutorial uses real screenshots, exact menu paths, and beginner-friendly explanations — no skipped steps, no “obvious” assumptions. We also cover trend identification, crossover alerts, and rule-based strategies that put your indicators to work. Browse below to find the MT4 tutorial that gets you unstuck.
