FAQs

Can you use MetaTrader 4 on a PC?

Yes, you can download MetaTrader 4 on your PC. The MT4 platform was designed for PC devices and is not supported by the iOS operating system found on Macs and Apple products.

It is also possible to download MT4 on mobile devices that use the Android operating system.

Can I still download MetaTrader 4?

Yes, you can still download MetaTrader 4. Head to the MT4 page on the VT Markets website and download the platform like any other software.

There has been some confusion among traders simply because of MetaTrader 5 — the update and successor to MT4. However, many traders find that they prefer the older version of the platform and have stuck with this. In 2022, traders can download and use both platforms on their PC.

How do I log into MetaTrader 4 on PC?

To log into MetaTrader 4 for PC, you’ll first need to download it. You can do this right here on the VT Markets page after you have set up and logged into your account. Once the MetaTrader 4 platform is up and running, you can select the File menu option and log into your account from here.

Remember to keep your login credentials safe, and don’t copy or reuse the username and password you use with other applications. If you feel your account information has been compromised, change this information within the MetaTrader 4 platform without delay.

Can you trade forex on PC?

Yes, you’ll need a forex trading account and a platform like MetaTrader 4. This will give you access to the market, enabling you to assess the latest movements and make trades. It is highly recommended that you practise trading on an MT4 demo account before you begin trading for real.

Please be aware that there is always a risk involved when you trade. Even more experienced and expert traders can lose money if the market does not move as expected.

What are MT4 indicators?

Indicators are important features on the MT4 platform, and you can use them as you try to predict future movements in the market. These MT4 indicators may be divided into common types, such as trend indicators, momentum indicators, volatility indicators and volume indicators. While indicators are slightly more advanced trading features, the learning curve of the MT4 platform is designed to help you grow your experience as you utilise these elements.

Remember that indicators do not provide guarantees. The market can still move in the other direction, even if an indicator has suggested otherwise. There is no way to eliminate risk, so always trade carefully and conservatively.

Can you trade on the margin in MT4?

It is possible to trade on the margin with MetaTrader 4. A forex margin refers to the amount of money you will need to put forward from your own capital reserves to open and control a trading position. The broker will put forward the remainder of the money, which makes the trading strategy similar to using leverage. Both tactics involve controlling a position worth more than you would otherwise have been able to afford.

While this increases the potential for profits, it also increases the potential risk. When you trade on the margin, you will effectively be borrowing capital from the broker. This capital will need to be paid back regardless of whether or not the position is successful, and the more you borrow, the more you will need to pay the broker. You may also experience a margin call if your available funds fall below a certain level, which means your positions may be closed automatically.
