Setting up MT4 for Android

Download MT4

The first thing you’ll need to do is download the MT4 app:

Set up MT4

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 Manage Accounts from the main menu.
2. Tap the + icon 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.
5. The trading account is added to the Accounts tab.

To switch the active trading account:

1. Open MetaTrader 4 and select Manage Accounts from the main menu.
2. Tap the trading account you wish to make active in the Accounts tab, enter the trading account’s credentials if prompted, then Sign In.
3. 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.
