MetaTrader 4 guides that end in a working setup
Updated 2026-06-09
Each guide answers one real MT4 job in plain steps, then points at the free, open-source tool that does the heavy lifting. No signals, no upsells, just the platform skill plus the matching download.
Honest, free MT4 guide to ATR stop sizing: Wilder's formula, the 4 vs 5-digit pip trap, multiplier arithmetic and the native trailing stop's real limits.
Free, no-signup guide to currency correlation risk on MT4: the EURUSD+GBPUSD doubled-exposure arithmetic, the 0.7 rule of thumb, and how to read a table.
No widget, no signup wall: the exact MT4 lot size formula, worked for JPY pairs, gold and indices, plus where the Specification window hides contract size.
Every native MT4 hot key in one free, no-signup table: chart, window and trading shortcuts, the Enter fast-navigation commands and Ctrl+F9 keyboard trading.
Honest answer: the MT4 Android and iPhone apps cannot load custom indicators at all. Here is the free desktop-to-phone push-alert workflow that really works.
