Updating the MT4 Terminal
Updates are periodically released with bug fixes, performance optimizations, and new features for MT4. By default, the terminal checks for updates each time it is launched.
If a new update is available, a notification will appear. We highly recommend installing the latest versions to ensure stable, secure, and comfortable platform operation.
Automatic updating can also be enabled, allowing releases to download in the background without user intervention. This option is available in the MT4 settings window.
MT4 updates are designed for backward compatibility, preserving settings, indicators, and scripts from previous versions.
Common Issues
- Issue: MT4 installation failure due to system requirements.
Solution: If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements, we recommend using the MT4 WebTrader, which operates in a browser without local installation. You only need a modern browser and a stable internet connection.
- Issue: Errors when opening an account in the MT4 terminal.
Solution: Ensure that you enter the correct registration details from your Personal Area, using the “show password” button. If the problem persists, contact technical support to resolve the issue. Also, check the terminal’s time zone settings.
- Issue: Trading terminal freezes or works unstably.
Solution: First, try reinstalling MT4, clearing the remnants of the previous version. If the problem persists, use the WebTrader version in the browser. Also, check the internet connection speed, disable unnecessary background programs, and close extra browser tabs.
