Alright, done, although it seems I downloaded metatrader from somewhere else but I now have a demo account with 5000 and 1:100.
Great! 5000 works as well. Now you have to link it to myfxbook.com
are you sure you are not affiliated with that website?
Metatrader seems like a pretty complete system to me, I thought this is about learning to write my own tools not use some others have already done.
There are some concrete code examples in the integrated programming language, I have the MetaEditor open, do we get to write some code there or not?
