It is an indicator you can attach to any chart and then buy and sell the given symbol virtually.
No actual trading takes place. You can attach it to multiple charts. Then you can buy multiple symbols.

Five stars. In the past I tried a web tool, a heavy software, and another mtq4 tool, but this one is better without any doubt. I recommend to explore and play with the features it has. It is better than working with a demo market account, you can speed up or decrease the speed, you can trade more than one pair at the same time....something valuable for some strategies, it calculates the swap. You don't need to buy historic data....or pay a monthly subscription....and you can experiment changing trade variables in your own real daily platform. Thanks you very much for sharing your work.
