The Investor Password in Meta Trader is a secondary password used for viewing the trading account's activity without being able to execute trades or make changes. It provides read-only access to the account, ensuring that the account holder can share their trading activities with others, such as fund managers or analysts, without risking unauthorized actions.
Note: If you are logged in to your account with an Investor password, the New Order button will be in grey and impossible to click on.
