Before you choose your platform layout, use this checklist to confirm your setup for metatrader 4 windows. Check that the chart area, market watch, and terminal tabs are accessible without overlapping, and verify your workspace can be restored to the same configuration after closing.
Next, confirm the window behavior: drag-and-drop panels smoothly, test switching between charts and order screens, and ensure alerts and the mailbox remain visible. Finally, review display scaling and font readability so key price levels and trade fields stay clear.
