Essential3 min readMyFundedCapital Research · rules as of 17 Oct 2026

Short answer

The chart shows live candles on 13 timeframes from one minute to one month, with SMA, EMA, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and volume. Trend lines, rays and Fibonacci levels you draw stay for your next session.

01

Thirteen timeframes, from one minute to one month, on every symbol in the watchlist.

02

Drawings are saved, so mark your levels once on the higher timeframe.

03

Custom indicators are not supported; the built-in set covers the basics. Expert advisors run only by agreement, so write to support before you use one.

The markets in your watchlist

On 1-Step Challenge, 2-Step Challenge and Instant Funded accounts the watchlist holds major forex pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, USDCAD, EURJPY, GBPJPY and EURGBP), gold and silver, and Bitcoin, Ether and Solana.

Open an instrument’s details in the terminal before you trade it. They show its contract size, leverage, commission, swap and trading hours. Your account is in US dollars: on pairs quoted in another currency, such as USDJPY or EURGBP, the terminal converts profit, loss and your limits at the live rate, using the side of the rate that is not in your favour.

A top-down routine

  1. 1D. Decide the direction you are willing to trade and draw the levels that matter. Because drawings are saved, you do this once and adjust it.
  2. 4h or 1h. Look at the structure between those levels: is price trending, ranging or stuck at one of them?
  3. 15m. Find the entry and the place where the idea is wrong. That distance is your stop.
  4. 1m. Use it only to time the order, not to change your mind about the trade.

Check the economic calendar before step three. A high-impact release in the next few minutes can make a clean setup a coin flip, and your program’s news rule applies around those releases.

Indicators without clutter

Pick a small set and keep it. One moving average, such as an EMA, shows direction. RSI or MACD shows momentum. VWAP is a useful intraday reference for where most volume traded. Bollinger Bands show when volatility is unusually tight or wide. Two or three of these on one chart are plenty; more lines rarely add information and often add doubt.

Use the same set on every timeframe you check, so a signal means the same thing wherever you see it. If you trail stops by ATR, look at the typical range of the symbol on your entry timeframe first; a trail tighter than one normal candle tends to close good trades on noise.

Review on the Report

The Report shows your account curve, a calendar, tags and MAE / MFE for every trade. Use MAE, how far a trade went against you, to check whether your stops are too tight or too loose. Use MFE, how far it went in your favour, to see whether your take profits leave too much behind. Tag each trade by setup and the Report shows which ones actually work for you. Review it once a week, on a day you are not trading, so the numbers guide the next week instead of the last trade.

Questions

Do my MT5 indicators work in the terminal?

No. Custom indicators are not supported. The chart has SMA, EMA, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and volume, plus drawing tools saved for your next session.

How is profit shown on pairs not quoted in US dollars?

Your account is in US dollars. On pairs such as USDJPY or EURGBP the terminal converts profit, loss, margin and limits at the live rate, using the side of the rate that is not in your favour.
