Cyberstock #: Thanks for your help. Re 1 please see attached, the full log since installation of this MT4. Re 2 no, not using proxy Re 3. Yes, I am seeing Market and Signals, see the screen shots attached.

Are both terminals on the same VPS, on the same user profile, where one works and the other does not, or is this on two separate VPS servers?

If on separate VPS servers, then on the failing server, there might be a problem with firewall settings or filters in place by the provider.

 
It is the same VPS, same user profile. What differs is the MT4 version, 1353 for the old working terminals and 1360 for the new terminal where the mql5 login problem persists.

Build 1360 is a beta build. Don't use it. Copy the executables from the 1353 build onto the other directory, namely "terminal.exe" and "metaeditor.exe".

And don't connect to the MetaTrader demo accounts if you don't want to receive beta builds.

Thanks, I have done that as well and the result is the same on version 1353 as 1360 i.e. can't login to mql5.

I have also deleted the Communities folder under the Terminal folder (in Data) as I've seen in another thread. It didn't help either, still same issue.

I would suggest a renaming the "config" folder to something else and then copying the config folder from the other setup and then making the necessary changes after that.

If that fails, then maybe do a clean install. Alternatively, do a clean manual setup using "portable" mode. That is how I do it. I have not done a normal installation for over a decade. I only use portable mode.

Many thanks Fernando for the suggestion. 

I did a clean install and the issue persisted.

But, the support advised me to reset my MQL5 password. Apparently my password got "corrupted" for some reason, it happens occasionally. I reset the password, used the auto-generated one to log in and it solved the problem. Very awkward. Well, important thing is it works ok.

So, for those having issues with login into your MQL5 account on MT4 terminal, please reset your password, even if you can log in into the MQL5 site.


Thank you to everyone that spent precious time replying and helping me to solve the problem; I appreciate this forum so much!

Are you unable to connect to your community account in MT5 or unable to connect to your trading account?

I can't log into my mql5 community account 

Community tab of Metatrader is located in Tools - Options - Community.

The Community tab login is slightly different from login to this mql5 forum, for example:

There were some complicated situations/cases, for example:

Forum on trading, automated trading systems and testing trading strategies

Login window on MT5 does not appear

I had similar issue before and it got resolved by installing Microsoft Edge Webview2.

Hopefully this works for you -- download link below
