MetaTrader 4 Installation Process

Desktop Installation Requirements

To install MT4 on desktop, Pakistani traders need Windows 10 or higher with at least 4GB RAM and 50MB free storage. A stable internet connection of minimum 1 Mbps is required. The MT4 setup file can be downloaded from the Exness Personal Area under “Trading Platforms.” After downloading, run the installer with admin rights and follow the prompts to complete the installation. The software auto-configures server settings on first launch.

Mobile Application Setup

MetaTrader 4 mobile app is compatible with iOS 12.0+ and Android 6.0+ devices. Pakistani users download the official app from App Store or Google Play. Login requires the Exness account number, password, and server selection. The mobile app syncs with desktop versions and supports full charting, push notifications, and order execution. Touch interface enables easy drawing tools and indicator application.

Supported Platforms and Formats

MT4 supports 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems, macOS Catalina and above (via Wine or third-party wrappers). Android and iOS apps are optimized for smartphones and tablets. We support .ex4 files for EAs and custom indicators. Connection protocols include TCP/IP with SSL encryption for secure data transmission.

Account Configuration and Server Connection

Pakistani traders select the correct Exness server from the login screen among Exness-Real, Exness-Real2, or regional servers. The choice affects latency, which typically ranges from 20 to 50 milliseconds in Pakistan. Login requires three details: account number, trading password, and server name. We recommend saving login credentials for convenience but advise maintaining strong password security.

Connection status is visible in the bottom-right corner of MT4, showing green when stable and red when disconnected. If connection issues arise, traders should verify their internet, firewall settings, and server availability. Our 24/7 support assists in troubleshooting and backup servers ensure uninterrupted trading during maintenance.

2. Select “Servers” and choose “Exness-Real” or related server.
3. Enter your Exness account number and trading password.
4. Click “Login” and verify connection status in the bottom-right.

Trading Interface Navigation

Market Watch Window Customization

The Market Watch window lists all available instruments with live bid and ask prices. Pakistani traders can right-click and select “Show All” to display the full instrument suite including forex pairs, commodities, and indices. Custom groups can be created for easier access to preferred instruments. Right-click also provides access to symbol specifications and historical data.

Chart Window Features

MT4 charts support nine timeframes from 1 minute to monthly charts. Traders open charts via Market Watch drag or Ctrl+N shortcut. Chart templates can be saved and applied across multiple instruments. Customization options include colors, grids, and price scales. Chart types include candlesticks, bars, and lines with volume and tick volume indicators available.

Technical Drawing Tools

Our platform includes tools such as trend lines, channels, Fibonacci retracements, and geometric shapes. These are accessible via toolbar or Insert menu. Drawings persist across timeframes and chart refreshes, helping Pakistani traders maintain consistent analysis.

Order Management System

Market Order Execution

Market orders execute instantly at current prices with typical latency below 100 milliseconds. Pakistani traders place orders via F9 shortcut or New Order button. Volume can be set from 0.01 to 100 lots. Stop loss and take profit levels are configurable before order placement. Margin requirements are calculated automatically and displayed before confirmation.

Pending Order Types

We provide four pending orders: Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, and Sell Stop. These orders activate automatically once market prices reach predefined levels. Pakistani users can modify price, volume, and expiration of pending orders. Options include Good Till Cancelled (GTC) and Good Till Date (GTD). Notifications alert traders on order activations or expirations.

Trailing Stop Functionality

Trailing stops allow dynamic adjustment of stop loss levels based on market movement. Pakistani traders enable trailing stops by right-clicking open positions and setting a trailing distance in points. This feature helps lock in profits while allowing favorable trends to continue.

Technical Analysis Tools Integration

MetaTrader 4 includes 30 built-in indicators covering trend, momentum, volume, and volatility analysis. Pakistani traders add indicators via the Insert menu or Navigator window. Custom indicators can be installed by copying .ex4 files to the Indicators folder. Indicators retain parameter settings across sessions for consistency.

Traders combine oscillators and trend indicators for comprehensive systems. Alerts can be set to notify when indicator thresholds are crossed. Custom indicators and expert advisors expand analytical possibilities beyond built-in tools.

Expert Advisors and Automated Trading

EA Installation and Configuration

Expert Advisors automate trading strategies by executing orders based on coded rules. Pakistani traders install EAs by placing .ex4 files into the Experts folder and restarting MT4. Parameters such as lot size, stop loss, and trading hours can be adjusted. Our Strategy Tester enables backtesting on historical data to evaluate EA performance before live use.

Trading Signals Integration

MT4 supports subscribing to trading signals from verified providers. Pakistani users can copy trades automatically with adjustable lot sizes and risk limits. Signal settings include daily loss caps and trade limits. Performance metrics such as win rates and drawdowns are available for monitoring. Communication with signal providers is facilitated through the platform.

VPS Hosting for Automation

Continuous EA and signal operation requires uninterrupted platform uptime. We recommend Virtual Private Server hosting for Pakistani traders to maintain stable connections and avoid downtime. Our VPS services provide low latency and high reliability optimized for MT4 operations.

Risk Management Features and Payment Integration

Risk Management Tools

Exness provides tools to help Pakistani traders manage risk effectively. Position sizing calculators display margin requirements, pip values, and profit/loss scenarios for chosen lot sizes. Stop loss and take profit orders execute automatically to limit losses and secure gains. Margin levels are monitored in real-time with alerts at 60% and forced closeouts at 20% to prevent account depletion.

Position Sizing and Margin Monitoring

Position sizes can be set as fixed lots or percentage of equity. Margin requirements update instantly based on leverage and instrument volatility. Our platform also tracks correlated positions to prevent excessive exposure. Traders receive notifications for margin calls and execution of stop out levels.
