A trading platform allows communication between traders and the broker while displaying real-time trading conditions (price, instrument, etc.). Several trading platforms are available for desktop and mobile devices for MT4 and MT5-based trading accounts.
Starting 01 July 2025, only the following platform versions will be supported:
• MetaTrader 4 — Build 1440 (released 21 February 2025)
• MetaTrader 5 — Build 4755 (released 13 December 2024)
Older versions will no longer be able to connect to our servers. Please update your platform to avoid login issues.
For certain regions, MT5-platform-based trading accounts can only be used with the MetaTrader 5 terminal (desktop and mobile) and are not supported on Exness Terminals.
