Setting up your Demo Account.

Download the TradeView MetaTrader Platform (MT4) from here:
https://www.tradeviewforex.com/software/metatrader4
The Video uses a PAXForex platform, but the install is similar to TradeView platform we ask you use.
When we all use the same broker, then everyone sees the same candles, prices, and broker time.
MAX is not associated with TradeView in any way, and our use of their demo account does not constitute a recommendation of any kind.

Trading Simulator (previously MT4 Strategy Tester)
Note:
We now use the Soft4FX.com Simulator
The Simulator is much easier to use, demo is free to try & all our MAX Indicators & Templates work without modification.
You can download it here: Soft4FX.com Simulator
We explain how to use it in our MAX Courses.
Strategy Tester:
This video was made in 2014, MT4 has had several changes since then & so much of this is out of date.
How to set it up up for manual practice.
This includes using MTM in the Strategy Tester as well.
(10 min) If you don’t you don’t have a MAX EA or MTM, then simply use one of the EAs that MT4 is supplied with (eg MACD). You will get orders placed spuriously on the chart, but just ignore them.
