How do I use indicators and technical analysis tools in MetaTrader 4?

MT4 offers a wide range of built-in indicators and drawing tools. To add an indicator, go to the "Insert" menu at the top of the platform and select "Indicators" or "Objects." Choose the desired indicator or tool, set its parameters, and it will appear on your chart.
