MetaTrader4 (MT4) is an electronic trading platform on which you can trade forex, precious metals and CFDs on stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, ETFs and ETNs, and indices. MT4+ is a proprietary software that you can install on your computer.

MT4+ permits you to use a wide range of order types and features, for example:

• Realtime push prices
• Comprehensive chart module with numerous technical analysis options
• Setting of price alerts

In addition, you can allow automated trading systems, otherwise known as Expert Advisors (EAs – see below for explanation) to trade via the platform.

JFD’s MT4+ is an enhanced version of MT4, branded with JFD’s proprietary design, offering an exclusive Add-Ons package, and pre-installed unique trading tools. JFD has taken MT4 to the next level, to offer its sophisticated traders an advanced level of trading, with access to 500+ instruments in 8 asset classes, through a pure Agency Only model, with a variety of unique benefits, supported by a high-end IT infrastructure, with performance optimised servers cross-connected to ECN/Banks.

To download the MetaTrader 4+, you need to open a Live account with JFD. If you already have a Live Account, you can find the download link for the platform in your personal My JFD area.

The latest client terminal can operate under Microsoft Windows 7/8/10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2012/2016. A processor that supports SSE2 instruction sets is also required for operation. Other hardware requirements depend on what instruments and EAs you are going to use. We recommend to have at least a Dual Core processor with 2 GB RAM and a monitor with a minimum resolution of 1024x768.

Expert Advisors are automated trading systems based on the MQL programming language. EAs are used to automate analytical and/or trading processes. For example, EAs are able to execute entire trading strategies completely independently. Most EAs require that they are placed on the chart that correlates with the currency pair/s being traded, however it is possible for some EAs to work on a chart that does not correlate with the currency pair/s being traded. It is very important to note that an EA will only operate when the platform is open. If the platform is closed this will turn off the EA. If you want to ensure that your EAs are continuously running, independent of your computer and internet connection, we offer a VPS solution.

Note: EAs are automated trading systems that were developed by third parties. JFD does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by employing these EAs.

To create your own EAs (automatic trading systems) and indicators, you need to use the programming software included in the platform called MetaEditor. This can be started from Tools/MetaQuotes Language Editor or by pressing the F4 key. This software provides an appropriate integrated programming environment, from which you can develop your own EAs.

If, after careful consideration, you have decided to let an EA trade on your JFD live account, you have to proceed as follows:

• The EA must be saved in the correct folder. This folder is located by going to the top Left of the platform and clicking on File, Open Data Folder, MQL4, Experts.
• After any new EA or Indicator is added to the platform it will be required to close and restart the platform to make the new tool visible.
• Open the Navigation window and pull (drag and drop) the EA onto the chart.
• Should the EA contain DLLs, you need to activate (by ticking) the box Enable import of DLLs within the Options menu. Normally any included DLLs will need to be placed in the Libraries Folder that is also located in the MQL4 folder.
• To turn on the EA please click the Expert Advisor button which appears in the upper section of the platform. You should now be able to see a 'smiley' face in the top right-hand part of the chart which means that the EA is now running.

Note: EAs are automated trading systems developed by third parties. JFD does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by using these EAs.

Our exclusive MT4+ Add-Ons and Indicators package is currently only available in our MT4+ Desktop version, however you can use the built-in indicators that are already pre-installed. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use custom indicators or Expert Advisors on MT4+ WebTrader or Mobile Apps.

A custom indicator can be any indicator that was developed and programmed for use with the MT4 platform using MetaEditor, and the MQL programming language. Indicators are used as informational tools for trading, and each indicator can be used for a different purpose.

In addition to the standard ‘Buy by market’ and ‘Sell by market’, MT4+ also offers a total of four pending orders:

• Buy limit
• Sell limit
• Buy stop
• Sell stop

MT4+ also offers three closing options:

• Stop loss
• Take profit

Note: The platform does not need to be open in order for pending orders or closing options to work. These order details are stored on the trade server and are not dependent on the MT4+ platform.

The pending order is stored on our servers and remains active and will be executed as soon as the market reaches the relevant price. This happens regardless of whether your MT4+ Client Terminal is open or closed.

You can choose anytime between the Bid, the Ask or the Last Price from the settings of your 'Account Connections'
