MetaTrader 5
Basic Chart Setup

Once you’re up and running, you’ll then need to customise your charts
and trading platform. Think of it as your trading work station.

Choose your Chart Type

The first step is to simply choose your chart type.
When your MetaTrader 5 platform opens, you’ll find there are three
price types you can choose.
✓ Bar chart
✓ Candle
✓ Line chart
Chart type
It should look like this… Bar, candle, line

The second way to choose the Chart Type is

by going to Charts and choosing the chart
type there…

8
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

As I usually analyse and trade using Candlestick charts, we’ll look at

candles throughout this guide.
Candlesticks, unlike line and bar charts, reveal the most information on
a chart.

How to setup your Chart Layout on MetaTrader 5

Once you have chosen your chart type, you can then choose your
color scheme.
I’m talking about the Chart Layout.
This is where you’ll customise your color scheme…
I personally prefer light colors as they are easy on the eyes.
But you can choose whether you want a light, dark, neon or even multi
color charting interface.
To change the layout of your charts you’ll follow these simple steps.
Step #1:
Right click on any chart and click ‘Properties’.
Step #2:
Click ‘Colors’.
Step #3:
Choose the colors for each chart item.
To see my layout, see below.

How to create your Watch List

Just to jog your memory.
A market watch-list is a quote board that shows you all the available
currencies, stocks, indices and commodities you can trade.
In this way, you can view whatever markets you’d like to monitor and
keep track of on a daily basis to trade with.
Here are three steps to view and analyse your watch list.
3 Steps to set up your watch list with MetaTrader
Step #1:
Open the market watch list board
When you log onto your MetaTrader 5 platform, you should see your
watch list board on the left side of your MetaTrader platform.
If there is no watch list, then simply click on view and in the drop-down
list press Market Watch.

11
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Step #2:
Show all markets available to trade
The easiest next step is to see all the markets that are available to
trade.
To do this you’ll right-click anywhere in the Market Watch board and
click ‘Show All’.
BEFORE: Show All

AFTER: Show All

12
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Step #3:
Choose what you wish to see in each column
I’m sure there are a number of different details you’d like to see with
each market.
Maybe you want to see the high and low price, the spread between the
Bid and Ask price or even the last closing price. You can choose the
items you wish on the Market Watch board.
Once again, you’ll right-click anywhere on the Market Watch board.
Scroll down until you see columns and choose your picks.

Now you have everything you need to know to open your watch
list board and to start trading all the markets without having to
search for each individual market ticker.

13
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Choose your Time Frames

Our charts are set up and we are nearly ready to trade.

First, we’ll choose the time frame we’re going to look at with
MetaTrader 5.
A time frame basically shows you the market activity during a selected
period.
You can choose to view periods from one second, five minutes, 4-hour,
daily, weekly etc…
There are two main ways to choose your time frame on MetaTrader 5.
#1: On the dashboard, there are different time frame options to
choose from including:
M1 – 1 Minute
M5 – 5 Minutes
M15 – 15 Minutes
M30 – 30 Minutes
H1 – 1 Hour
H4 – 4 Hours
D1 – Daily
W1 – Weekly
MN – Monthly

#2: In the menu, you can choose a time frame

by going to Charts – Timeframes
and choosing the time frame you wish.

14
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Place your Indicators

There is a large variety of indicators and oscillators you can choose

from.
You can customise them, color them and even shape them as you
wish.
To access the indicators, you’ll simply follow this one step.
#1: In the menu press ‘Insert’ – ‘Indicators’ and choose from the
variety.
See below…

NOTE: With each indicator, you can right-click directly on the indicator
in the chart and click ‘Properties’ or head over to the entire ‘Indicator
Table’ or ‘Delete’ the indicator. For example…

15
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Chart your analysis with ease

When it comes to price action or seeing trends, divergences, or just

general supports and resistances, we need to be able to personalise
our charts, draw and place objects on a chart.
With MetaTrader 5, you’ll see there are default options to add objects
on a chart including:
✓ Draw vertical line
✓ Draw Horizontal line
✓ Draw trendline
✓ Draw equidistant channels
✓ Draw Fibonacci retracement
✓ Extra icons
It should look something like this…

If you want more options, you’ll

head over to the menu and click
Insert – Objects.
There are a greater variety of
objects you can choose from to
draw on your chart…

How to place a trade with MetaTrader 5

The whole point of trading is not just for monitoring and analysing
charts.
You need to actually know how to buy (go long) and sell (go short) a
trade.
What is a New Order?
In MetaTrader 5, a ‘New Order’ is the button you’ll use to action (buy or
sell) a trade.
There are a few ways to access the “New Order” button.
I’ll show you three quick ones.
1. In the MetaTrader 5 Dashboard near the middle
2. Right-click on the market you wish to trade in your ‘Market
Watch’
3. Click on Tools and the first item in the drop-down list

1 2 3

17
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

As soon as the ‘New Order’ window has opened, there are four steps
you’ll need to execute your trade.
Step #1: Choose the market you want to trade

At the top of the window, you’ll see ‘Symbol’. Click on it and a drop-
down list will show you the available markets to trade.
Look for and click on the market you want to trade.

18
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Step #2: Choose the entry market order type

There are two options you can choose to buy or sell, in order to enter
into a trade.
1. Market Execution – where you can buy at the price the market
is trading at.

2. Pending Order – You can choose the price you’d like the
market to reach before getting into your trade through buy and
sell limit/stops.
I’ll just use Market Execution and click on ‘Buy by Market’ for simplicity
purposes.
Choose and click on either Market Execution or Pending Order.
NOTE: I’ll explain more about these Market Orders in the next part of
the guide.

19
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Step #4: Calculate your trade size (Volume)

Volume with MetaTrader is another term for “Value Per Point”.

For a stock, index, or commodity if you choose 0.10 means, every 1
cent the market moves for or against your favour, you’ll lose or gain 10
cents.
Where it says volume, is where you’ll type in the value.
For example, with Forex you’ll trade lots.
To buy / sell 1 Micro lot (1,000 units) you’ll type in 0.01.
To buy / sell 1 Mini lot (10,000 units) you’ll type in 0.1.
To buy / sell 1 Standard lot (100,000 units), you’ll type in 1.00.
NOTE: I always buy in Micro lots no matter what portfolio I have. This
way I can measure and monitor my risk with accuracy.
Once you’ve chosen your trade volume size, you’ll need to fill in the
rest of your trading levels…
Choosing your ‘Volume” is subjective to the size of your portfolio… So,
make sure you know how to calculate the % risk per trade.

20
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Step #5: Place your stop loss and take profit

Then according to your strategy or according to my MATI Trader

System (62.5% win rate, 5 breakout patterns, 3 rule) strategy choose
the price level where you’ll place your stop loss (for your risk) and
the price level for your take profit (for your reward).
While you’re at it, feel free to comment with a reason for your trade
entry (long or short).

21
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

#6: EXECUTE: Buy or Sell

For Market Execution (Best market price entry):
Once all your trading levels are in and you’ve calculated your trading
size, you may either click
Sell by Market (to go short) or Buy by Market (to go long)

For Pending Orders (Chosen price to buy or sell)

Once all your trading levels are in and you’ve calculated your trading
size, you may either click
Place.

You’re done!

22
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

On the chart, you’ll see that the trading levels will be automatically
populated on the chart for you to keep track and adjust the levels as
needed.

Come back to this part of the guide for every time you take a trade.
Eventually, it will become second nature to your everyday routine.
Let’s look at those different Market Types I promised to show you…

23
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

5 Market Orders you can take

With MetaTrader 5, there are five different options to choose from

when you execute a trade (entry).
I’m going to simplify these five trading entry orders in a way that you’ll
never forget.
NOTE: To clarify the information below, I have created an illustrated
table which you can use for reference in the future.
Entry order #1: Market Execution

The first entry order is the easiest to understand.

This is where you’ll buy or sell at the best current market price.
When you choose a market order, it is the quickest, most effective, and
easiest way to enter into your trade at the current bid (buy) or offer
(sell).

24
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Entry Order #2: BUY Limit

When you place a ‘Buy Limit Order’, you’ll place your long (buy) trade
entry price BELOW where the current price is trading at.
Once the market price drops on or below the Buy Limit Order price, you
will automatically be entered into your trade.

EXAMPLE: BUY Limit

If the Australian Dollar VS the US Dollar (AUD/USD) is currently trading
at 0.7190 and you would like to buy (go long) at 0.7150, you’ll choose
the Buy Limit Order.
You’ll then wait for the market price to drop to your chosen order price
or below it where you’ll then automatically be entered into your ‘long’
trade.

25
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Entry Order #3: SELL Limit

When you place a ‘Sell Limit Order’, you’ll place your short (sell) trade
entry price ABOVE where the current price is trading at.
Once the market price hits this entry point or above it, you will
automatically be entered into your trade.
EXAMPLE: SELL Limit
If AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7150 and you would like to sell (go
short) at 0.7190, you’ll choose the Sell Limit Order.
You’ll then wait for the market price to rise to or above your chosen
order price, where you’ll then automatically be entered into your ‘short’
trade.

26
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Entry Order #4: BUY Stop

When you place a ‘Buy Stop Order’, you’ll place your long (buy) trade
entry price ABOVE where the current price is trading at.
Once the market price hits this entry point or above it, you will
automatically be entered into your trade.
EXAMPLE: BUY Stop
If AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7150 and you would like to buy (go
long) at 0.7190, you’ll choose the Buy Stop Order.
You’ll then wait for the market price to rise to or above your chosen
order price, where you’ll then automatically be entered into your ‘long’
trade.

27
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

Entry Order #5: SELL Stop

When you place a ‘Sell Stop Order’, you’ll place your short trade entry
price BELOW where the current price is trading at.
Once the market price drops on or below the Sell Stop Order price, you
will automatically be entered into your trade.
EXAMPLE: SELL Stop
If AUD/USD is currently trading at 0.7190 and you would like to sell (go
short) at 0.7150, you’ll choose the Sell Stop Order.
You’ll then wait for the market price to drop to your chosen order price
or below it where you’ll then automatically be entered into your ‘short’
trade.’

28
 Quick Guide to MetaTrader 5 – HOW TO GUIDE: Trading Chart Platform

To sum up the four main buy and sell limit orders, I’ve created a table
for you. Print it, laminate it and stick it on your wall.
This way you’ll never forget how these market entry orders work.

Why you need to OPEN an account with

QuickTrade for the Premium MATI Trader Service

I have always professed that it’s important to have two accounts when
it comes to trading.
One for stocks, commodities and crypto currencies.
And
The second account is for Forex and indices.
You might ask why and it’s a valid question.
Through my 20+ years of being in the markets, I’ve realised that
trading these two sets of markets, they work differently and it is a
different ball game.
With Forex I look at 4-hour charts while the other markets I look at
daily.
And you’ll find the portfolio results and trading performances are
different.
I for one, not only have two trading accounts for these two sets of
markets but also two different trading journals that have different stats,
calculators and metrics.
You can expect many more Forex and index trades from the Premium
MATI Trader Service as well as different journals and calculators.
Many of my members have been asking for a service with Forex
trades, and finally I have found a broker which I’ll be recommending to
my members.
You’ll see the chart setups through MetaTrader 5 as well as the
expected trade sizes and calculations relative to the portfolio.
