Common questions about MetaTrader 4 versions, installation, account login, Expert Advisors and device compatibility.
The MetaTrader 4 terminal is available without a software purchase fee from the linked download sources. Trading accounts, spreads, commissions and other account conditions are set by the broker.
Usually, yes. Use the same broker server and account credentials on supported desktop, mobile and WebTrader terminals. Available instruments and account permissions still depend on the broker.
Open the terminal, select the trading server associated with your broker account, then enter the account login and password. Account creation, password resets and server details are handled by the broker.
Choose desktop if you need MQL4, Expert Advisors and the full desktop analysis environment. Choose iOS or Android for mobile quotes, charts and orders, or WebTrader when you need browser access without installing desktop software.
Expert Advisor development, testing and local execution are desktop functions. The iOS and Android apps focus on quotes, charts, trading orders and account management rather than the desktop MQL4 runtime environment.
Confirm that your operating system is supported by the current installer or app listing. If the terminal opens but the account will not connect, verify the broker server, account login and password.
Choose the desktop, mobile or web version that fits your workflow, then connect the broker account you use for trading.
