Account Management

You can manage multiple trading accounts with MT4, though not all can be active at once. Follow the steps below to add more trading accounts to your app.

To add a trading account:

1. Open MetaTrader 4 and select Settings.
2. Tap New Account and select Login to an existing account.
3. Enter “Exness” and then select the trading server appropriate for your trading account.
4. Enter your trading account’s number and trading account password, then tap Sign In.

To switch the active trading account:

1. Open MetaTrader 4 and go to Settings.
2. Tap the arrow next to the account displayed on the top of the page. You will see the account you are currently trading on under Current Account. Below that, under Trade Accounts you will find the other accounts added to the app.
3. Tap on any account to log in.
4. MetaTrader 4 will now be logged in with that trading account.

While you can switch between multiple trading accounts in the MT4 app, you cannot manage them all at once; for this need, we recommend MT4 MultiTerminal.
