Getting Started??

 

Downloaded the MT5 platform on my PC, I'm trying to access US stock market data. I've searched the web for the how-to's and all of them say to go to the symbols list under marketwatch. But I'm not seeing a list of markets as opposed to what is being shown in these how-to guides for getting stock chart data. 


UPLOADED: 2 images

   - The first is an image from one of these how-to guides

   - The second is what I am seeing in my MT5 trading platform. I seem to be lacking any and all markets under the symbols section.


Getting very frustrating, any help is much appreciated!  :)

Sergey Golubev:

The symbols depend on the broker.


Thank you for this information, I was able to create a demo through one of the brokers and I can now see some stocks. (Hooray!!)


Where do I start if I am trying to get into automated trading? Is there a scripting language I should learn?

There is thread with same question: mq4 or mq5?
As to how/where to start so look at the post  #1072 (I collected the important information incl for autotrading).

You confused MQL5 forum/portal account with trading account proposed by the brokers.
If you mistakenly deposity some money to your forum profile - write to the service desk asking their advice.
