Trailing Stop is a complex stop-loss order in which the Stop Loss price is set at some fixed number of pips below or above the market price. If the market price moves in the direction that is profitable to the trader, the Stop Loss price changes proportionally, but if the currency price moves against you, the Stop Loss price does not change. This technique allows a trader to set a limit on the maximum possible loss without setting a limit on the maximum possible gain. You also do not have to watch the price on an-ongoing basis and modify the Stop Loss price manually.

Trailing Stop is a Client Terminal side feature. For the trailing stop to continue modify the Stop Loss, the trading platform MetaTrader 4 must be running and connected to the Internet.

To set up a Trailing Stop, right-click the order, point to Trailing Stop and set its value in points.

For Micro accounts, the account balance, profit, loss, equity etc. in the MetaTrader 4 are displayed in US Cents, but in the Client Portal you will see available funds in US dollars.

The digits in the right bottom corner of your MetaTrader display the traffic. The digit to the left of the “/” (slash) sign displays the Incoming traffic; the digit to the right of the “/” (slash) displays the Outgoing traffic.

Example. 370/2 Kb. Incoming traffic – 370 Kbs, outgoing traffic – 2 Kbs.

Balance shows the funds in your account based on the closed trades only. When you close a trade, its profit/loss is added/deducted to/from your account Balance.

Equity = Account Balance + Floating profit/loss of the open trades.

If you have no open trades, Balance and Equity show identical values. If you have open trades in the account, Balance will stay fixed until you close a trade and Equity will be changing all the time according to the current profit/loss that you are making.

Margin – the funds that you have used to open a trade.

Free Margin = Equity – Margin.

These are the funds that you can use to open more trades.

Margin Level (%) = Equity/Margin*100%.

The time displayed in your MetaTrader is FXOpen trading server time – GMT +2* (Standard Time). Sadly, MetaTrader 4 does not allow you to adjust the time in MT4 to match your local time.

In spring, the servers are switched to GMT+3 (daylight saving time).
