Mt4 account id

Also in this window you can add a new server to connect to. To do it, press the " add new server" button or the "insert" key.

A server can be specified in different ways: the process of opening an account consists of several steps:

Opening of accounts

Terminal allows to work with two types of accounts: demo accounts and real accounts. Demo accounts enable working under training conditions, without real money on them, but they allow to work out and test trading strategy very well. They possess all the same functionality as the real ones. The distinction consists in that demo accounts can be opened without any investments, though one cannot count on any profit from them.

Opening of a demo account #

A demo account can be opened by the "file – open an account" menu command or by the same command of the "navigator – accounts" window context menu. Besides, the terminal will offer to open a demo account at the first program start to begin working immediately.

The process of opening an account consists of several steps:

Selecting server

The first stage of account opening is selection of a server to connect to. Addresses of available servers, their names and ping are listed there. The most preferable is the server having the lowest ping. To perform additional checking the ping, you should press the "scan" button. After that the ping information becomes refreshed.

Also in this window you can add a new server to connect to. To do it, press the " add new server" button or the "insert" key. A server can be specified in different ways:

Write its address and port separated with a colon. For example, 192.168.0.100:443;

Write its domain name and port separated with a colon. For example, mt.Company.Com:443;

Write an accurate name of a brokerage company.

As soon as you specify a server, press "enter". To delete a server, select it and press the "delete" key.

Account type #

At this stage a user can specify details of an existing trade account or start creating a new one.

This window contains three options:

Existing trade account – if this option is chosen, it is necessary to fill out the "login" and "password" fields with the corresponding account details. A server selected at the previous step is displayed below these fields. You will be authorized at the specified server using the specified account as soon as you press the "done" button.

New demo account – if you choose this option and press the "next" button, you will go to the creation of a new demo account.

New real account – if you choose this option you will pass to specifying personal details for sending a request to open a real account.

Personal details

The next stage of opening an account is specifying personal details:

The following data will be requested to open an account:

Name – the user's full name.

E-mail – email address.

Phone – contact telephone number.

Account type – account type to be selected from the list defined by the brokerage company.

Deposit – the amount of the initial deposit in terms of the basic currency. The minimum amount is 10 units of the specified currency.

Currency – the basic currency of the deposit to be set automatically depending on the account type selected.

Leverage – the ratio between the borrowed and owned funds for trading.

To activate the "next" button and continue registration, it is necessary to flag "I agree to subscribe to your newsletters".

After the registration has successfully completed, a window will appear that contains information about the open account: "login" – the account number, "password" – the password for access, "investor" – the investor's password (connection mode in which it is possible to check the account status, analyze the price dynamics, etc., but no trading is allowed).

After registration has been completed, the new account will appear in the "navigator – accounts" window, and it is ready to work with. At that, the server sends a message to the terminal containing login and passwords of this newly opened account. This message can be found in the "terminal – mailbox" window. Besides, after the account has been successfully registered, it will be authorized automatically.

Attention: if any problems occur at the account opening, technical support service of the brokerage company should be asked for help.

Opening of a real account #

Real accounts, unlike demo accounts, cannot be opened from the terminal. They can only be opened by brokerage companies under certain terms and conditions. Real accounts are marked correspondingly in the "navigator – accounts" window. To start working with them, one must perform authorization.

MT4 demo account

What is a metatrader 4 demo account?

An MT4 demo account is like using a virtual flight simulator before you get behind the controls of an aeroplane. It helps you find everything, try new techniques and ensure you’re confident before you take off.

Test your trading strategy, test your expert advisor (EA), familiarise yourself with the platform, all in the comfort of having no money at risk.

Simply put, a metatrader 4 demo account simulates live trading conditions on the MT4 platform but with no money at stake.

The risk-free demo account comes complete with many of the features you get in the MT4 live account; there’s a library of indicators (mathematical tools to analyse the price), and despite the funds being virtual, you’re trading in a live environment.

MT4 demo accounts are free to open, and you can start practising no-risk trades immediately in a live environment.

The best part? You don’t have to place funds in the MT4 demo; you use up to $50,000 of virtual funds to experiment.

An MT4 demo account is a great place to:

Learn the basics of trading

It suits both new and experienced traders for these reasons and is why it’s the most popular trading platform on the planet.

Features of an MT4 demo account

Access $50,000 of virtual funds to experiment and get comfortable with the platform and the markets.

MT4 demo is available on desktop, tablet or mobile as well as windows, ios and android devices.

Trading in a live environment that delivers live market prices.

Experiment with automatic trading strategies (expert advisors).

Use free MT4 indicators, tools and add-ons, just like a live account.

Get familiar with technical analysis before you open a live account.

Why open an MT4 demo account with ATFX?

Opening an MT4 demo account with ATFX gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll be trading with an online forex broker who’s won more than 35 awards over the past three years, and you’ll gain access to the most popular and successful trading platform the trading community has ever used.

You can use your metatrader 4 demo account until you’re confident that you’re familiar with us and MT4. We only provide the one platform for our clients to trade on for a reason, because it’s the best.

MT4 is suitable for novice traders who are beginning their trading journey. It’s also widely used by experts because of its flexibility, precision, speed and cutting edge features.

So as you evolve as a trader and eventually move off the demo account , you can be confident that the skills you develop will carry forward to every trade you ever make.

What is the difference between an MT4 demo account and an MT4 live account?

Trades on MT4 demo are not real. No money is at risk, you’re trading with virtual funds.

Demo trades aren’t adjusted by dividend adjustments, but rollover charges (swaps) will be the same as a live account.

Slippage caused by out-of-hours or volatile price movements aren’t applied on demo accounts.

Leverage restrictions will be the same as a live account.

Trades won’t get refused due to size (leverage) or price. But if you have insufficient funds trades will be rejected just like trading a live account.

Chart packages on the MT4 demo account are free.

Trades will be closed on demo, if your virtual funds don’t cover the required margin level.

MT4 demo accou nts are the best way to test the platform before you use real money. It’s a gamified version of real-world trading and you have nothing to lose. Literally.

There are millions of traders in th e MT4 community who use this platform every day.

Experience the ATFX difference. We’re a forex and CFD broker that puts service at the heart of our service-driven proposition.

How to open a real account in metatrader 4

For many traders, the financial markets offer a great way to invest in a variety of financial instruments from anywhere in the world. However, to increase the chances of succeeding in the markets, you need to select the right trading platform as well as a good strategy, money management, knowledge, and educational resources.

Of all the trading platforms available to traders, metatrader 4 (MT4) is by far the most popular, especially among those trading forex or cfds (contracts for difference. In fact, over 95% of forex brokers offer this platform on their sites. Created by metaquotes, MT4 has a reputation for being a stable platform with various tools and features capable of handling the fast-paced financial markets. This article explains how to open a real trading account in MT4.

Getting started with MT4

Metaquotes no longer allows traders to download the MT4 platform directly from the metaquotes website. You have to download MT4 software directly from your broker’s official site and to do this, you have to sign up for an account with the broker.

To set up an account, you need to visit your broker’s site and select the sign up option. This option will depend on the broker’s site set-up. For instance, some brokers will have a ‘sign up’ option while others will have a ‘start trading’ or ‘open live account’ option. After choosing to sign up you can follow the steps required by the broker.

1. In most cases, you will have to provide the information required by your broker. The typical details will include personal information such as your name, address, contact information, country of citizenship, ID or passport number, tax identification details, and your date of birth to ensure that you are over 18 years. Regulated brokers may also require additional information including your employment status, annual income, trading experience and objectives, and net worth.

2. Read and accept the broker’s terms and conditions.

3. Provide the requested documents to verify your identity. Brokerage companies are required to onboard clients through a KYC (know your customer) process and each broker will have their own requirements regarding the documents they need to verify your identity. Most brokers require your government-issued ID and proof of residence documentation such as your utility bill or bank statement.

Note: it’s unlikely that you will find a reliable broker who doesn’t require documentation and doesn’t ask questions. You should be wary of any brokers who don’t adhere to the KYC process.

Once you have uploaded your verification documents, your broker will review your application and contact you to let you know if your application was approved. Sometimes you may need to provide additional supporting documentation if the broker deems the initial documents insufficient to prove your identity. When the broker approves your application, they will provide you with account details including your account ID, account server, and passwords.

Accessing the MT4 platform

With an account, you can now download metatrader 4 (MT4) software (MT4.Exe). Your broker will provide a relevant link to the software download page where you can select your preferred operating system or device. MT4 is available on windows, mac, linux, android, and ios.

MT4 on windows requires a version of windows XP and higher.

While MT4 was specifically created for windows, it wasn’t created specifically for macos. The MT4 client terminal can be installed and run on macos using a macos version of wine, a free software that allows users of unix-based systems to run applications developed for windows systems.

As with the macos, installing and running MT4 on linux requires that you use a linux version of wine.

To install MT4 on android, the system requirements are android 4.0 version or higher. The system supports both smartphones and tablets running the android system - simply download it from google play.

The MT4 app on ios is compatible with both iphone and ipad but it requires devices with ios 7.0 version or higher - simply download it from the app store.

After downloading the relevant software to your computer, run the file and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process. By default, the installation will create an MT4 shortcut on your computer and automatically decide the location of the program files. You can choose to save the file in a different location by specifying the location during installation. When the installation process is complete, you can run MT4 by double-clicking on the shortcut created during installation. If you are downloading the software on mobile, you simply download and run the app without any additional set up. The MT4 terminal is not a data-intensive program so it will not take up a lot of space on your device.

What comes after downloading the MT4 software?

After completing the software download and installation successfully, you are ready to open your real account. However, you can’t instantly open the real account directly in the MT4 platform itself. To open a real account, you need to connect to your broker’s server.

1. Visit your broker’s site and in the account section, find and select the live trading option.

2. Select ‘metatrader 4’ from the platform selection.

3. Choose a trading account type with the conditions best suited to your trading needs. Brokers provide a variety of account options and many offer standard, micro, and mini accounts based on traders’ risk appetites and goals.

With the account type, you will also have to choose the various optimum trading conditions for your goals ranging from the leverage level to the base currency of the account. The base currency of an account can’t be changed and you will have to open an additional account if you wish to have an account denominated in another currency.

4. Read and accept the broker’s terms, conditions, and risk disclosures.

Note: it’s unlikely that you will find a reliable broker who doesn’t require documentation and doesn’t ask questions. You should be wary of any brokers who don’t adhere to the KYC process.

Once you have completed this process, your broker will likely send all the account parameters you chose for your new account to your email for your reference. When this step is complete, you are ready to fund your account. Note: due to the risky nature of the financial markets, brokers are legally required to provide risk disclosures which you will need to know before you begin trading. The brokers’ compliance with this requirement provides some degree of protection to traders as they navigate the financial markets.

Funding your real account in MT4

Unlike a demo account that requires no real capital outlay, a real account requires funding before you can start trading. You can deposit funds into your account by logging into your trading account, selecting the option to add funds, and following the instructions provided by the broker.

On the deposit page, you will be able to view all the available deposit methods and choose the one that is most convenient for you. Most brokers offer a wide range of deposit methods to cater to the numerous payment methods used by traders to trade forex or cfds from different parts of the world.

Once you have funded the account, you can now open and run the installed MT4 platform, i.E. You can now start trading. When you open the platform, you should get a prompt to enter the account authorisation login and password details provided by the broker when you open your account. You need to ensure that the ‘server’ field details match the details provided by your broker.

The MT4 investor password in your real account: what you need to know

When you receive your account details from your broker you will get an investor password in addition to your account ID and the main password which is also known as the master or primary password. The investor password is just another password you can use to log into your MT4 account but it’s important to know how it works, especially in a real account where your funds are at risk.

Unlike your main password which gives access to your entire account, the investor password only provides read-only access. This means you can use it, for example, when you want to show other traders your trading results or when you want them to evaluate your strategy without giving them complete access to your account. Use of the investor password is especially common for traders who allow other traders to copy their trades.

Put simply, each password gives you different permissions in the trading account. The investor password only allows for the viewing of open trades and account history while the main password gives you all trading permissions (you can access all areas of the account, open new trades, and change or close existing trades).

Unlike the main password, which you should safeguard and keep to yourself, you can share your investor password with anyone you choose. If at any point you wish to deny account access to the people you’ve shared the password with, you can simply change the password.

Where do you find the investor password?

In most cases, the investor password is created automatically by your broker when you open an MT4 account with them. You can usually find the password in the email sent by your broker once they verify your account and you can also access it in the mailbox available on the MT4 platform. In some cases, you can even create the password yourself if you have the main MT4 platform password.

What to know before opening a real account in MT4

Opening a real account in MT4 is a big step that should be well considered. With a live account, you carry the risk associated with the financial markets and so it’s important to know what you are doing before committing real capital.

Take time to practice on a demo account first

The best way to learn how to trade with MT4 is with a demo account. This account allows you to see what works and what doesn’t in a risk-free trading environment. Starting with virtual funds without incurring real losses is a great way to practice before you transition to a real account in MT4.

A demo account is useful even to experienced traders. For instance, a trader who is experienced in forex trading in the forex market may not want to risk real capital when they branch into stock cfds trading and a demo account will be a great way to get a feel of the CFD market before switching to live trading.

When used diligently, a demo account provides a great platform to test out your strategy and the psychological aspects of trading. Nonetheless, you are likely to have a different mental state, decision process, and reactions to profits and losses when trading on a real account compared to a demo one. This is why it is important to stick to your trading plan if you want to succeed in the long run.

Consider the important factors

Your broker will play an important role in determining how well you do with your real account. It’s important to choose a broker with ample support for the MT4 platform to ensure that your trading is not disrupted if you ever experience any technical issues. You can also check if the broker offers any value-added services that add on to the stability and reliability of MT4.

Start off on the right foot

Setting yourself up for success with a real account in MT4

Never start trading on a real account in MT4 with more money than you can’t afford to lose. It may seem obvious, but it’s easy to feel like you know more than you do when starting out in the financial markets and this can lead to you taking unnecessary risks. Be prudent and start with small trades – a demo account can never fully prepare you for the emotions that come when your real money is at risk.

This section of the email includes a direct link to the portal, your personal client portal password and username (the email you used to register with us). In the client portal you can fund your account, withdrawal your profits, request leverage changes and update your personal details.

Step 2 – how to download and install metatrader

Once your metatrader 4 download is finished you can directly run the file or open it in its folder on your PC.

An installation window will appear. Click “next”.

When the installation process is completed, click “finish”.

When the installation is done your browser will automatically open a new window with the MQL5 web page, which is an official metatrader website including documentation, forum, market and guides on using the trading platform.

If the metatrader 4 doesn’t open automatically when the installation is completed, go to your desktop and open it from the shortcut with eightcap’s logo.

When the platform opens you will notice a connection indicator in the bottom right corner that shows you that you are not connected. That is because you are not yet logged into your account and trading is not yet enabled.

To log in to your metatrader 4 account, go to the main “file” menu and select “login to trade account”.

A login window will pop up.

Go back to your email from eightcap and copy your password and login number (make sure you don’t copy any blank spaces).

Paste them in the login window. Make sure to tick “save account information” to enable automatic login when you switch accounts or re-open your trading platform.

Also, make sure to select the correct server, “eightcap-real” for live trading accounts.

To learn how to change your MT4 password, please read our “how do I change my metatrader 4 password?” tutorial.

Establish a connection

If the login is successful you will be notified by a sound from the metatrader platform. In a few moments you will notice that placing trades is already available, and in the bottom right corner, the connection is now in green and continuously updating.

Switching between accounts

From the accounts group in the navigator window you can easily switch between your trading accounts, as well as to open new and delete accounts. Here you can also access your demo accounts. If you want to improve your trading skills before using your live account, you can also open a demo account.

To open the context menu right-click on “accounts”.

Select the “login to trade account” to open any of your already created accounts. To switch accounts, you can also simply double-click on the desired account after expanding the accounts menu by clicking on the “+” boxes. A pop-up window will prompt you to confirm your password before logging into the account.

To learn more about the navigator window in MT4, please read our “using the navigator and market watch panels in metatrader 4” tutorial.

Get ready to place your first trades – read eightcap’s “how to open and close trades in metatrader 4” tutorial.

Getting started with MT4

Accessing the MT4 platform

MT4 on windows requires a version of windows XP and higher.

As with the macos, installing and running MT4 on linux requires that you use a linux version of wine.

The MT4 app on ios is compatible with both iphone and ipad but it requires devices with ios 7.0 version or higher - simply download it from the app store.

What comes after downloading the MT4 software?

1. Visit your broker’s site and in the account section, find and select the live trading option.

2. Select ‘metatrader 4’ from the platform selection.

4. Read and accept the broker’s terms, conditions, and risk disclosures.

Note: it’s unlikely that you will find a reliable broker who doesn’t require documentation and doesn’t ask questions. You should be wary of any brokers who don’t adhere to the KYC process.
