MetaTrader 5 works by providing traders with real-time access to market prices and tools for comprehensive analysis. Traders can execute trades directly through the platform using advanced order types and strategies. MT5 integrates both fundamental and technical analysis tools, allows automated trading through scripts and robots (Expert Advisors), and provides a highly customizable environment.

To place a trade on MT5 for Windows, follow these steps:
‍
1. Open your MetaTrader 5 application.
2. Navigate to the "Market Watch" window or use the "Search" feature to find your desired asset.
3. Right-click on the asset and select 'New Order'.
4. In the 'Order' window, specify the volume of your trade and set any stop losses or take profits as needed.
5. Choose either 'Instant Execution' or 'Pending Order' depending on your trading strategy.
6. Click 'Buy' or 'Sell' to place your trade.
