Trouble logging into your trading terminal most commonly results from incorrect credentials or connectivity issues. We will guide you through these errors as well as the best steps to correct them.

• Trading account credentials
• Internet connectivity

Trading account credentials

When logging into your trading terminal (whether logging into MT4 or logging into MT5), the credentials required include:

- Trading account number

- Trading account password

- Trading account server

If any of the above are entered inaccurately, these inputs will result in an Authorization Failed or Invalid account error message. If you are having trouble finding where your credentials are, follow this link on how to find your trading terminal login and server.

Note: When registering a new Personal Area, 1 Real and 1 Demo trading account will be automatically created. The Personal Area password will be used to log into your trading terminal for these trading accounts.

For following trading accounts, a separate password is set when the account is created. If you have forgotten your password, recover the password to create a new one.

Ensure that you log in to MT4 with an MT4-based trading account and MT5 with an MT5-based trading account, or the log in will fail.

If you are sure you have correctly entered your credentials and are still unable to log in, it may be that the problem is with internet connectivity.

Internet connectivity

Exness provides services that can mitigate connectivity issues, such as our free VPS service, but in most cases the errors are shown to be ‘no connection’ and ‘common error’.

Unstable Internet:

If your internet connection is unstable, these steps can help you verify the problem:

• Run a speed test to see if this is the problem.
• Double-check your internet cables to ensure they are securely connected.
• Reset your modem/router by turning it off for at least 5 seconds, and then turn it back on.
• Rescan for the trading servers by clicking on the connection bar in the bottom right-hand corner of your trading terminal, and selecting the rescan servers option.
• Ensure your Firewall and Antivirus Software is not blocking your trading terminal from the internet connection.

• Try to restart the trading terminal.
• Try to reinstall the trading terminal.
