You can apply for an MT4 account here.

If you currently already have a Next Generation Trading account, you will need to apply for a separate MT4 account. 

MT4 demo accounts remain active as long as you log in to your MT4 trading platform at least once every 30 days. If you don’t log in within that timeframe, your account will automatically be closed. You can set up a new demo account again at any time in the future.

For your demo account, you will need to use: “CMCMarkets1-Demo”

For your live account, you will need to use: “CMCMarkets1-Live”

Yes - MT4 can be used on Android and Apple devices. Simply search for ‘MT4’ in the app store.

You can learn more about MT4 indicators and add-ons, and download them for free here.

We currently offer selected Forex, Indices and Commodities products. You can also trade on Shares through our Next Generation Trading platform via a separate Next Generation CFD Account.

You can access our most recent product offering by right-clicking in the ‘marketwatch’ window and  selecting ‘show all.’

The maximum trade size varies depending on the product. 

For more specific product information, right-click on the product inside the ‘marketwatch’ window and select “specification.” This will provide more detailed information about minimum and maximum trade size for that product.

The MT4 platform is free. Standard holding costs and spreads apply to most products as with our Next Generation trading platform.

For a complete picture of related costs, please log in to the Next Generation portal and locate the “product overview” information window for that product to see the complete list.

We use our native built, award-winning Next Generation trading platform to facilitate funding limitations within the MT4 platform and provide a secure funding process for our clients.

On top of funding, withdrawals and account information, your access to this Next Generation account also offers a market calendar, Reuters and client sentiment tools. 

You can see your balance and also generate an MT4 trading statement in the MT4 portal itself. Your MT4 account statements and balance can also be accessed within the Next Generation admin portal.

You can access this by clicking on “Statement Centre” located in the Account tab, which is found on the main menu.

To add an EA, open MT4 and go to ‘file.’ Then ‘open data folder’. Choose ‘MQL4’, and then ‘expert advisors’ or ‘indicators’.

You can then copy the file you want to add and drag/drop it into your preferred location. Close and reopen MT4, and you should see the item in the navigator window.

MT4 is designed to be used on a PC using what is called a .NET framework. This framework is not currently supported by Mac.

To view your trade history through MT4, log in to MT4 and go to the 'terminal' window.

Choose the 'account history' tab at the bottom of the terminal window. From here you can right click anywhere within the window; this will prompt you to select which history you'd like to download.
