1st off, I checked my position with GBPUSD and I'm up $224, past my TP by 28 pips (TP - 1.2259, it's at 1.2287). I got no alerts or anything. I'm thinking the autotrading tool was off. Closing 1st thing Monday morning (0000). Anyway, today I'm in the help topics, learning about Trading Operations on the MetaTrader 5 platform.
This trading game is like chess to me. I enjoy it most when I'm playing the game, not reading about it. And the more L's I take, the more determined I get to win. I can see myself using the buy limit and sell limits based on market conditions. Of course, I want to use the buy stop-limit and sell stop-limits, that'll come soon.
There's a Depth of Market window that shows more detailed analysis of the current market conditions. It may come in handy in other trading strategies. For now, my analysis is based on indicators.
I see how the "one click" trading would be helpful for day traders. For me, with my strategies, I use the Toolbox, Trade tab because I can set the SL and TP from there.
For today I stopped with the section on the Options Board. This section details strategies, templates, and analysis tools. I'm not sure if it's available to me, but the information is great. I'll continue reading tomorrow and prepare for trading monday morning.
