Metatrader 5 for trading stocks and other securities

One of the stages of starting to trade securities is choosing a trading platform through which transactions are opened.

At the moment, there are professional trading platforms for trading on the stock market, but most of them are paid and it is not a fact that you will like working in the purchased program.

Therefore, many traders choose metatrader. Namely, on its fifth version, since it is intended for trading securities.

This choice is also good because if you have already traded in this program before, then you will not need to learn its functionality again.

So, you've made your choice and launch MetaTrader 5 from your broker, only to find that it only has a hundred stocks.

But there are tens of thousands of similar assets traded on the stock market, so why is the choice so limited?

In fact, it's simple: to trade securities, you need to choose not only the platform but also the broker. The number of assets available on a given trading platform depends on the brokerage company.

For example, RoboForex offers the opportunity to work with more than 12,000 securities in MetaTrader 5:

Simply go to the "Symbols" submenu in the "Market Overview," then open Stock Markets and select the country's stocks you want to trade:

• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Japan
• Hong Kong
• Mexico
• Poland
• Russia
• Singapore
• Spain
• Thailand
• England
• USA

Moreover, when choosing the USA, you can also choose the exchange platform on which trading takes place.

The choice is truly enormous, with a wide variety of securities from various sectors of the economy represented.

To find the right asset among thousands of others, you can use the search engine; for example, let's look for the well-known Pfizer:

And we find the security we need with a full description of all the necessary parameters – trading time, contract size, types of available orders .

After that, all that's left to do is add the instrument to the Market Watch by clicking the "Show Symbol" button, and you can open trades.
RoboForex's MetaTrader 5 platform also offers a host of other equally interesting assets that aren't always available on similar trading platforms from other brokerages .
