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.
And so, you have made your choice and launch MetaTrader 5 from your broker and find only a hundred shares in it.
But after all, tens of thousands of similar assets are traded on the stock market, why is the choice so limited?
In fact, everything is simple; to trade securities you need to choose the right not only platform, but also the broker. Since the number of assets in the same trading platform depends on the brokerage company.
For example, the RoboForex company provides the opportunity to work in metatrader-5 with more than 12,000 securities:
It is enough in the “Market Watch” to go to the “Symbols” submenu, and then open Stock Markets and select the shares of which country we are going 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 huge, representing a wide variety of securities from various areas of the economy.
To find the desired asset among thousands of others, you can use the search, for example, we are looking 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 this, all that remains is to add the instrument to the market overview by clicking on the “Show symbol” button and you can open transactions.
