What features does MatchTrader have, and can I use TradingView charts on it?

MatchTrader gives you a simulated trading environment with real-time market data, a customizable interface, fast execution and optional TradingView charts built into the platform. You trade with virtual capital, so you get valuable practice without financial risk.

Key features

• Real-time market data: monitor price movements as they happen and make decisions based on current market conditions.
• Customizable interface: a clean, user-friendly interface you can personalize, including chart layouts, indicators and risk management tools.
• Fast execution: make quick decisions and place trades without worrying about slippage or delays.

TradingView charts in MatchTrader

For more advanced technical analysis, you can enable TradingView charts directly within MatchTrader. This optional feature gives you TradingView's charting tools, indicators and drawing instruments. Please note that MatchTrader does not integrate directly with TradingView accounts. With TradingView charts you can:

• Add custom indicators such as moving averages, RSI and MACD.
• Use live price feeds: see real-time prices on the charts and execute trades directly from the chart interface.
• Customize charts to your trading style, with candles, lines or bars.

Key terms you'll encounter

• Market Order: buy or sell instantly at the best available price.
• Limit Order: buy or sell at a specific price or better.
• Stop Loss: automatically closes your position at a specific price to prevent further losses.
• Leverage: lets you control a larger position with less capital. For example, 10:1 leverage means you can control $10,000 worth of assets with only $1,000 in your account. Leverage can magnify profits but also increases risk, so use it with caution.
• Candlestick charts: show open, high, low and close prices for a set period.
• Moving averages: smooth out price data to help identify trends.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): measures whether an asset is overbought or oversold.
