MT4 Download

[Chin Min Wan]

Hi, I downloaded a MT4 at https://www.metatrader4.com/en/trading-platform and after installed it, it is a MT5 terminal. Could you please give me a proper webpage / link that can download the MT4 software, thanks.

FYI, due to some reasons, I do not use broker's MT4 at all and I always use the developer MetaQuotes' MT4 for my trading purposes.

Secondly, my friend told me that your server IP https://api1.mql5.com is under maintenance (attached), am I right ? Kindly look into this IP so that we can download the MT4 accordingly.

Thanks & regards

You can download MT4 from the brokers' website (there are a lot of Metatrader brokers; use google to find).

It has been years since you could download MT4 from Metaquotes. You can only get it from a broker's website.

Hi Sergey Golubev, I would like to ask you one security question : if I download MT4 installer from a B-book broker and I trade through the broker's MT4 terminal, for security reason, will the broker able to create some spy codes into the MT4 installer so that they can access into my MT4 terminal and able to transfer all my EA's mq4 source codes to their server ? If "yes" in this case, their server's system can react oppositely to make my account losing money. Kindly advise me as this is important ... Thanks & regards

Do brokers see the installed EAs

The question constantly pops up, the answers were repeatedly given.

Never any broker sees and does not have access to the trader's computer, does not know and does not have access to his robots or any other programs.

But each order has a type of reason, which indicates how it was created - manually or by experts.

To be afraid of knowledge by the broker ("trader trades experts") does not make sense. At a huge number of brokers, the percentage of autotrading more than 50% of transactions - everyone understands that this is a new reality.

By the way, if you want to have "clean installation" (without brokers) so use the following - post #11 (I am using those two files as well to install MT4; but I am not sure that it works now sorry).
Some other builds are in google drive here.

Thanks Sergey, let me test first. In fact, for your post 11 above of the "terminal.exe", I can use my existing terminal.exe to be copied to a new folder and start a new terminal, but hopefully there is no any technical hiccups leading to the MT4 terminal not working / offline / sign-up or any other unexpected happenings. Thanks
