MT4 Navigator
First menu option on the Navigator list is Accounts tab. To view the accounts tab, you can click the expand button (marked & labeled as +), and a list of your saved trading accounts will appear. Every time you sign in with a new account the details and particulars will be saved under this "Accounts Tab".
Double-click any account to log in and access it. Switch between accounts using the BTCUSD accounts tab.
The example illustrated below illustrates two trading accounts recorded under this tab, a demo bitcoin trading account marked as a green cartoon and a Real account labeled & marked as a bitcoin cartoon. From this bitcoin accounts tab, a btc usd trader can switch between any of these two accounts by double clicking on any one of them.

To conceal these details, simply click the minus sign (" - button"). The "Expert Advisors" entry has been expanded for demonstration purposes.

These tutorials get more detail later. This quick overview covers each one for now.
Indicators: Technical Indicators are tools for technical analysis used in trading and placed on a Crypto Currency chart: these tools are used to create signals to buy and sell bitcoin.
EAs act as auto bots. They create buy and sell signals for crypto trades. These bots run on programs built with MQ4 code.
Custom Indicators: A custom indicator includes an indicator which you have modified or downloaded from the internet & then installed it in your MT4 software, this trading indicator will be shown and listed here as a "custom technical indicator"
Scripts: This is a function used to perform and carry out a certain task, e.g. if you open five trades & want to close-out all of them at once you can attach a "script close" in your trading chart therefore closing all open positions at once (However, you as a bitcoin trader need to set-up some parameters on MetaTrader platform to allow scripts execution trading, that is a lesson for later.)
The Navigator panel gets heavy use in trading. Press Ctrl+N on your keyboard to show or hide it.
