This guide explains the Quotes, Chart, and Trade tabs in the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) mobile app. Menu locations and screen layouts can vary by device and app version, so use the official guide for your phone or tablet.
Quotes: review symbols and prices
The Quotes screen lists trading symbols and price information such as Bid, Ask, spread, and quote time. You can organize the symbol list and open a symbol’s menu to view its chart or specifications.
Some contract details—including contract size, calculation method, and order types—are set by the broker. They may differ across instruments and accounts; check the terms for the account you use.
Chart: check the symbol and timeframe
A chart displays price movements over selected time intervals. Before reading it, confirm that the symbol and timeframe match what you intend to review. The Android and iPhone guides explain how to change symbols, timeframes, and chart settings.
A displayed quote is not necessarily real time in every account. The broker or market-data access may affect whether prices are delayed.
Trade: review account status and orders
The Trade tab shows account information, open positions, and related pending orders. MetaTrader distinguishes Balance from the result of positions that are still open. Equity combines account components according to the broker’s account rules.
For order fields, contract terms, and account-specific procedures, follow the documentation provided by your broker. This guide explains app screens and does not recommend an asset or trading strategy.
