When you start trading forex with Exness, you’ll use MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5), which are the most popular forex trading platforms in the market.
We often get asked about the difference between MT4 and MT5. Basically all the main functions are the same, but if you’d like an in-depth look at the differences, visit the Terminals section of our Help center.
Please note: If you open a MetaTrader 4 account, you won’t be able to use MetaTrader 5 with your MT4 login and vice versa. If you want accounts for both MT4 and MT5, you’d have to open separate trading accounts for them.
About the Terminals
You can access the MT4 and MT5 platforms with these terminals:
- Exness Terminal and WebTerminal
- MetaTrader Mobile Terminals
- Exness Trader Mobile Terminal
- Desktop Terminal
Exness Terminal and WebTerminal
If you want to trade from your browser, the Exness Terminal is for you. It’s our own custom-built, browser-based MT5 terminal. It requires no download or installation to use and is easily accessed from your Exness Personal Area. Unfortunately it only works for MT5 accounts, so if you are looking for MT4 then the MetaTrader WebTerminal is also an option for trading from your browser. Both the Exness Terminal and MetaTrader WebTerminal offer the basic functions required to trade effectively.
MetaTrader Mobile Terminals
MetaTrader mobile platforms are designed to make it convenient for you to trade on-the-go; all you need is an internet connection and the MT4 or MT5 mobile app. Visit the App Store or Google Play to download them onto your mobile devices.
You can find user guides for the mobile versions of both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 in the Terminals section of the Help Center.
Exness Trader Mobile Terminal
We’re proud to present our mobile app, jam-packed with enough features to make this more than just a mobile trading terminal. You can manage your Exness accounts, security, as well as trade on-the-go and check technical analysis and economic stories. We encourage you to try the Exness Trader App, for a compact and comprehensive forex trading terminal.
Desktop Terminals
The MetaTrader Desktop terminals can be downloaded onto your PC or laptop. One of the benefits of using a desktop platform is that you’ll have access to a much wider range of trading tools including custom Expert Advisors and analytical tools.
We provide desktop versions of both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Visit the Terminals section to learn more about the desktop terminals.
If you want to start trading straight away, we recommend starting with our custom-built, MT5-based Exness Terminal, which is as secure as our other terminals, but doesn’t require installation.
