These tutorials will be covered in more details later, but for now as a trader the following brief introduction about each will do.

Technical Indicators: Technical Indicators are technical analysis tools used in trading & placed on XAUUSD chart, these tools are used to generate buy & sell signals.

Expert Advisors: Automated robots that are used to place trades by generating buy & sell signal automatically using programs which are coded using the MQL4 programming language.

Custom Trading Indicators: A custom indicator includes an indicator that you've modified or downloaded from the inter net & then installed it on your MT4 software, this technical indicator will be listed here as a "custom technical indicator"

Scripts: This is a function used to perform a certain task, for examples if you open five 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 to allow scripts execution trading, that's a topic for later.)

Navigator will be one of your mainly used panel when trading, to access it using a short-cut, press 'Ctrl+N' button key on your keyboard to display or hide it.
