Indicators: Indicators are cryptocurrency trading technical analysis tools used in trading & placed on Bitcoin Trading chart, these tools are used to generate buy & sell signals.
Automated Bitcoin Expert Advisors: Automated bots that are used to place trades by generating buy & sell cryptocurrency signal automatically using programs that are programmed using the MQL4 coding language.
Custom Indicators: A custom indicator includes an indicator that you have modified or downloaded from the internet and then installed it on your MetaTrader 5 BTCUSD Crypto Platform, this indicator will be listed here as a "custom technical indicator"
Scripts: This is a function used to perform a certain task, for example if you open five cryptocurrency trades and want to close all of them at once you can attach a 'script close' on your chart thereby closing all open trades at once (However, you need to set up some setting on the MetaTrader platform to allow for scripts execution trading, that's a topic for later.)
The Navigator will be one of your mainly used panel when trading, to access it using a shortcut, press 'Ctrl+N' button on your key board to display or hide it.
