Hey, I am completely new to trading, and I just have a question based on some things I have read here and elsewhere.
First, I gather it is useful in some way to have an mt4i account and track my trades. So I have gone to the website, opened an account, and downloaded MT4i Publisher for EA.
I'm learning to trade via Apiary, and just started -today-. I downloaded their MetaTrader software and have been assigned a demo (fake) trader account for learning and practice.
Now, my question(s): Is it possible for me to track my -fake- trades, and is it a good idea for me to do so? Will setting up the publisher in my software add things to the interface that could interfere with me -learning- the software?
What, exactly, does the MT4i do for me that my trading software doesn't? I -have- read the website at mt4i, but to be honest it uses jargon that assumes a level of knowledge I don't possess (yet). Just in layman's terms: does MT4i tell me how well I am doing? Doesn't MetaTrader track that itself? Etc.
Thanks!
