Setting Up MetaTrader 4 on Your iPhone

Now that you've got MT4 on your iPhone, let’s get it set up so you can start trading. Here’s how to connect to your broker and get the platform ready for action:

1. Launching the App: Tap the MetaTrader 4 icon on your home screen to open the app.
2. Choosing a Broker: When you first open the app, you’ll be prompted to either “Start without registration” (demo account) or “Login to an existing account”.
   • Start without registration: This option allows you to start with a demo account to test out the platform without risking real money. It’s great for beginners or for testing new strategies.
   • Login to an existing account: If you already have a trading account with a broker, choose this option.
3. Finding Your Broker: If you chose to log in, you'll need to find your broker in the list. Start typing your broker's name in the search bar, and the app will filter the results.
4. Entering Your Credentials: Once you find your broker, tap on it. You’ll then be prompted to enter your account login and password. Make sure you have these details handy. If you can't remember your credentials, you might need to reset your password through your broker's website.
5. Selecting the Server: Some brokers have multiple servers (e.g., live, demo, or specific server numbers). Ensure you select the correct server to match your account type. Using the wrong server means you won't be able to access your account.
6. Logging In: After entering your login details and selecting the server, tap “Sign In.” If everything is correct, you’ll be logged into your trading account, and you’ll see your account details.
7. Navigating the Interface: Once logged in, you’ll see the main MT4 interface, which includes:
   • Quotes: This shows the list of currency pairs and other assets available for trading.
   • Charts: Here, you can view the price charts of different instruments.
   • Trade: This displays your current open trades, account balance, and other relevant information.
   • History: You can review your past trading activity here.
   • Settings: This section allows you to customize the app settings, such as chart preferences and notifications.

With these steps, your MetaTrader 4 app should be fully set up and ready for you to start trading!
