FXPro MetaTrader 5 Platform Overview for Malaysian Traders

Our company provides MetaTrader 5 as one of four core trading platforms for Malaysian customers. We deliver this advanced solution alongside MT4, cTrader, and FxPro Edge to suit different trading demands. MetaTrader 5 offers superior functionality compared to MT4, including more order types, enhanced charting options, and broader asset coverage.

Malaysian traders can access MetaTrader 5 via desktop applications, a web interface, and mobile apps. We support Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android operating systems. The platform connects directly to FXPro’s trading servers, with execution speeds averaging 11 milliseconds.

This implementation features 21 timeframes, over 80 technical indicators, and supports Expert Advisors for algorithmic trading. We provide access to forex pairs plus CFDs on indices, commodities, and energy markets. Account modes include both hedging and netting.

Our platform supports both forex and CFD trading, providing Malaysian clients with extensive market opportunities. We ensure seamless integration of features for both asset classes in a single interface. Traders can switch easily between instruments using the Market Watch window.

Account Registration Process for MetaTrader 5 Access

Initial Registration Steps

Malaysian residents start by completing online registration on the FXPro website or mobile app. The process requires roughly 10 minutes and collects basic personal details. Full name must match your Malaysian Identity Card or passport exactly.

We also collect residential address, employment status, and trading experience information. Annual income, net worth, and source of funds are requested to comply with local regulations. Upon submission, your FXPro Direct profile is created instantly.

Document Verification Requirements

KYC verification is mandatory before live trading activation. Malaysian clients must upload clear scans of their IC or passport. The submitted documents must match registration data precisely.

Proof of address involves recent utility bills or bank statements issued within the last six months. Documents must display your name and Malaysian address. We use liveness checks through selfies or video captures.

Verification usually completes within one business day for valid submissions. Additional documents may be requested if details are unclear. Until verification passes, accounts remain in read-only mode.

MetaTrader 5 Download and Installation

Desktop Platform Installation

Download MetaTrader 5 from the FXPro website’s platform section. Malaysian users have unrestricted access to Windows and macOS versions. The Windows installer size is approximately 15MB.

Run the installer with administrator rights. Follow the step-by-step wizard to complete installation. The platform creates desktop shortcuts and Start menu entries automatically. Allow firewall exceptions to maintain uninterrupted connectivity.

Mobile Application Setup

MetaTrader 5 mobile apps are available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Search “MetaTrader 5” and install the official MetaQuotes Software application. iOS requires version 9.0 or higher; Android requires 4.1 or later.

After installation, open the app and enter your FXPro trading account credentials. The mobile app synchronizes settings and data with desktop versions automatically.

Platform Configuration and Login Process

FXPro provides unique login credentials for MetaTrader 5 accounts via your FXPro Direct dashboard. These differ from your website login details. Each trading account has a specific login ID, password, and server name.

Locate your MetaTrader 5 credentials in the FXPro Direct area under the account section. Malaysian clients typically connect to FXPro-MT5 servers optimized for regional speed and stability.

Open MetaTrader 5, choose “Login to Trade Account” from the File menu. Enter your login ID, password, and select the correct server from the dropdown list. A green status icon confirms successful connection and live data feed.

We advise testing platform connectivity using a demo account before live trading. Demo accounts use the same login format and server settings to replicate the live environment.

Trading Interface Navigation and Setup

Market Watch Configuration

The Market Watch window lists all available trading instruments on the platform’s left panel. We provide major, minor, and exotic forex pairs, plus CFDs on indices, commodities, and energies. Malaysian traders can easily customize symbol visibility.

Right-click inside Market Watch and select “Show All” to reveal every instrument. Symbols are categorized by asset classes: Forex, Indices, Commodities, Energies. The naming convention follows standard market symbols, e.g., EURUSD for Euro/US Dollar.

Chart Window Customization

MetaTrader 5 supports multiple chart windows, each with independent timeframes and analysis tools. Open a chart by right-clicking a symbol in Market Watch and selecting “Chart Window”.

The platform offers 21 timeframe options from 1 minute to monthly. Chart types include candlestick, bar, and line formats. Customize colors, grids, and backgrounds through chart properties. Candlestick charts are recommended for detailed price action study.

Order Placement and Execution Methods

• Execute market orders instantly using the “New Order” button or F9 key.
• Select symbol, order type (market execution), and set position size in lots.
• Minimum position size starts at 0.01 lots, equivalent to 1,000 units of base currency.
• Set stop loss and take profit levels simultaneously for risk control.
• Orders execute within milliseconds during active market hours, ensuring rapid fills.

Pending Orders and Risk Management Tools

Pending Order Types

MetaTrader 5 supports six pending order types: buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, sell stop, buy stop limit, and sell stop limit. These orders trigger automatically when market prices reach preset levels.

Buy limit orders open long positions below current price; sell limit orders open short positions above. Buy stop and sell stop orders activate above or below current prices respectively. Stop limit orders combine activation and execution price control.

Risk Management Tools

Our platform integrates risk controls directly into order placement. Traders set stop loss and take profit values with each position to limit losses and secure gains.

Margin levels update in real-time, reflecting leverage and position size. Available margin, used margin, and free margin are displayed in the account panel to prevent overexposure.

Position sizing calculators assist with determining appropriate lot sizes based on account balance and risk tolerance. We recommend risking no more than 2% of the account per trade.

Technical Analysis Capabilities

Indicator Library and Application

The MetaTrader 5 platform includes over 80 pre-installed technical indicators. Malaysian traders can use moving averages, oscillators, trend indicators, and volume tools. Each indicator supports parameter adjustments and visual customization.

Indicators are applied by dragging from the Navigator panel onto charts. Multiple indicators can be layered on a single chart with independent scales. Popular indicators include RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and various moving averages.

FXPro provides proprietary custom indicators to enhance strategy development. These are updated regularly and complement standard tools.

Drawing Tools and Chart Objects

MetaTrader 5’s drawing tools enable manual technical analysis with trend lines, channels, Fibonacci retracements, and shapes. These assist in spotting support, resistance, and chart patterns.

Drawing tools are accessible via toolbar or Insert menu. Users customize colors, line styles, and labels. Drawn objects save automatically with chart templates for future use.

Malaysian traders can create multiple chart templates, applying preferred indicators and drawings instantly to new charts. This ensures consistent analysis setups across sessions.

Advanced Trading Features and Account Management

Expert Advisor Implementation

We support automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) using the MQL5 language. Malaysian clients can develop custom EAs or purchase from the MetaTrader Market.

EAs execute trades automatically with the same execution speed as manual orders. Enable automated trading in platform settings before activating any EA.

Multiple EAs can run concurrently on different charts, each managing separate positions and risk parameters.

• Automated trade execution based on programmed rules
• Simultaneous operation of multiple EAs
• Historical backtesting via the strategy tester
• Support for both custom and marketplace EAs
• Real-time monitoring of EA activity and performance

Copy Trading and Signal Services

MetaTrader 5 integrates MQL5 Signals for copy trading. Malaysian traders subscribe to signal providers and replicate trades automatically. Signal trades execute with the same standards as manual orders.

Browse signals in the platform’s Signals tab, viewing performance metrics and subscription costs. Position sizes adjust proportionally to your account balance.

Risk controls allow setting daily loss limits, position size caps, and symbol filters. These safeguards help manage exposure when following signals.

FXPro’s MetaTrader 5 infrastructure provides Malaysian traders with professional-grade tools, high-performance servers, and regulatory compliance. We maintain responsive support and educational resources to enhance trading effectiveness. Our platform enables access to both forex and CFD markets with fast execution and advanced analytics.
