آموزش صفر تا صد متاتریدر-جلسه ششم
Introduction to the Session
Overview of the Course
- This session is part of a comprehensive course on trading, focusing on using a reputable broker for transactions.
- The instructor will guide participants through the process of opening an account and navigating the trading platform, specifically MetaTrader.
Broker Selection
Choosing a Reliable Broker
- The selected broker for this course is "Exi," which operates globally but does not provide services to Iran. It is regulated by five G20 countries, ensuring its credibility.
- Participants are encouraged to research and choose any broker they prefer while following the guidelines provided in previous sessions.
Account Registration Process
Steps for Opening an Account
- Accurate personal information must be provided during registration, as identity verification will rely on documents like passports or national ID cards.
- A Gmail account is required for registration; creating one is straightforward if participants do not already have it.
Types of Accounts Offered
Understanding Account Options
- Brokers typically offer two types of accounts: demo (virtual money) and real (actual funds). Participants can start with a demo account to practice without financial risk.
- Real accounts require an initial deposit, which varies based on individual trading strategies and capital management principles.
Selecting Account Type
Standard vs Other Accounts
- Most brokers provide standard accounts that connect directly to global markets; however, spreads may vary between different account types offered by brokers.
- Pro accounts may offer lower commissions but could have higher spreads; traders should test various options to find what works best for them.
Capital Management Strategies
Importance of Investment Amount
- Traders are advised against starting with less than $500 due to challenges in managing investments effectively at lower amounts; below this threshold, traditional investment rules may not apply well.
- For those with less capital (e.g., $10), opening a cent account allows them to trade more flexibly while adhering to proper capital management practices.
Leverage in Trading
Understanding Leverage
- Leverage allows traders to control larger positions than their actual investment; however, it can also amplify losses if not managed properly—hence it's referred to as a double-edged sword in trading discussions.
- The minimum leverage available at this broker is 100:1, while some others might offer up to 3000:1 depending on their policies regarding Iranian clients or other factors affecting service availability.
Finalizing Account Setup
Completing Registration
- After submitting the application for a new account, confirmation details will be sent via email including login credentials and server information necessary for accessing the trading platform.
This structured approach provides clarity on key topics discussed throughout the session while allowing easy navigation through timestamps linked directly back to specific moments in the video transcript.
Introduction to Trading Platforms
Overview of MetaTrader Platforms
- The discussion begins with the identification of account specifications and the need to enter them into a broker's platform.
- The speaker emphasizes using MetaTrader 5 for trading, although the current broker only supports MetaTrader 4, which will be used for training purposes.

Installation Process

- The speaker plans to reset the interface by removing all components to avoid accidental changes during training.
Navigating Market Watch

Understanding Trading Verification and Statements
Importance of Providing Proof in Trading
- The speaker emphasizes the need for traders to provide proof of their trading capabilities, suggesting that a trader should show their trading accounts to validate their claims.
- A request is made for the trader to send links to their MyFxBook or similar platforms, which will be used for evaluating their trading performance.
Caution Against Sharing Sensitive Links
- The speaker advises against sharing personal MyFxBook links publicly, as it can create psychological pressure and affect trading behavior.
- It is recommended that such links only be shared with potential investors who are genuinely interested in investing.
Statement vs. Link Comparison
- The discussion highlights that sending a MyFxBook link is not standard practice; instead, providing account statements is more appropriate when proving one's trading skills.
- Account statements can be reviewed over time, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of a trader's performance.
Risks of Manipulating Statements

Key Components of Trading Accounts
Understanding Balance and Equity
- Balance refers to the total amount deposited into the broker's account without considering open trades.
- Equity represents the current value of an account including profits or losses from open trades; it fluctuates based on market conditions.
Free Margin and Margin Level Explained
- Free margin indicates available funds in an account after accounting for any locked-in margin due to open positions.
- Margin level is calculated by dividing equity by margin multiplied by 100%, indicating how much capital is available relative to leveraged positions.
Market Provider Dynamics During Trades
- The speaker discusses market providers' roles during trades, especially during high volatility periods when liquidity may decrease significantly.
Consequences of High Leverage Usage
- A scenario illustrates what happens if a trader exceeds their margin limit due to high leverage; they risk becoming indebted if losses exceed available balance.
This structured approach provides clarity on critical aspects discussed in the transcript while ensuring easy navigation through timestamps linked directly to relevant sections.
Understanding Margin Levels in Trading
What is Margin Level?
- Margin level is calculated by dividing the equity by the margin used, expressed as a percentage.
- A margin level below 500% indicates potential risk; if it drops below 100%, the account may face a margin call, risking loss of funds.
Importance of Maintaining Margin Levels
- If your margin level falls into the red zone, you risk losing your balance due to a margin call.
- It’s crucial to keep your margin level above 500% to avoid significant risks in trading.
Managing Trade Positions
- When opening positions, traders should be aware of their current margin levels and adjust accordingly.
- Capital management strategies will be discussed later to help determine appropriate trade sizes based on available balance.
Understanding Lot Sizes in Forex Trading
What is a Lot?
- One standard lot equals 100,000 units of currency. For example, one lot in USD trading represents $100,000.
Leverage and Its Impact
- With leverage (e.g., 500:1), traders can control larger amounts with smaller balances. For instance, $1,000 can control $500,000 worth of trades.
Calculating Position Size
- Traders must understand how many lots they can trade based on their account balance and leverage.
- The smallest unit for trading is a micro lot (0.01), which equals 1,000 units or $1,000.
Capital Management Strategies
Recommended Lot Sizes Based on Balance
- For an account balance of $1,000, it’s advisable to use a position size around 0.05 lots for safer trading practices.
Adjusting Position Sizes with Account Growth
- As account balances increase (e.g., from $5,000), traders can proportionally increase their lot sizes while maintaining risk management principles.
