What this lesson covers
MetaTrader 5 is the platform most brokers and prop firms hand you, so knowing your way around it removes a whole category of avoidable mistakes. This lesson is a practical walkthrough. It starts with downloading and installing MT5 and logging in with credentials from your broker or funded account, then tours the interface: the Market Watch list, the chart window, the Navigator, the terminal and the trade panel. From there it covers the work itself. How to open a position, how to set stop loss and take profit levels, how to modify a trade that is already running, and how to close part of a position rather than all of it. It finishes with customisation, indicator setup and the small habits that make the platform faster to use.
