The Navigator window in MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a side panel that gives quick access to your accounts, indicators, Expert Advisors, custom indicators, and scripts. Organised in an expandable tree, it is where you launch tools onto charts and switch between accounts. You can open or hide it from the View menu or with Ctrl+N. It is a central hub for the platform’s built-in features.

In MetaTrader 5 (MT5), expand the Accounts branch of the Navigator window to see accounts you have logged into. Double-click an account to connect to it, entering the password if prompted. To add another, right-click Accounts and choose to open or log in to a new one. This makes it easy to move between demo and live accounts without restarting the platform.

To apply an indicator in MetaTrader 5 (MT5), expand the Indicators branch in the Navigator window, then double-click the one you want or drag it onto your chart. A settings dialog appears where you confirm the parameters before it is added. The Navigator lists both the standard built-in indicators and any custom indicators you have installed, all accessible from the same tree.

Expert Advisors (EAs) in the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) Navigator window are automated programs that can analyse the market and place trades according to preset rules. You attach one by dragging it onto a chart, then enabling automated trading. EAs listed here may be built-in samples or ones you have installed. Because they trade automatically and CFDs are leveraged, test any EA carefully on a demo account first.

In MetaTrader 5 (MT5), both appear in the Navigator window but behave differently. A script runs once to perform a single task, such as closing all trades, and then stops. An Expert Advisor runs continuously, monitoring the market and acting whenever its conditions are met. Custom indicators, by contrast, only display information on the chart rather than executing actions. Each type sits in its own Navigator branch.

To add a custom indicator, script, or Expert Advisor to MetaTrader 5 (MT5), place its file in the correct MQL4 subfolder within the platform’s Data Folder, which you can open from the File menu. After copying the file, right-click inside the Navigator window and choose Refresh, and the new tool appears in its branch ready to drag onto a chart.
