Simultaneous EA on different accounts

Kannan J 2023.01.02 14:55

On the Metatrader 4 app I installed from my Xbtfx broker, I have 2 accounts. I wanted to run 1 EA on one account and another EA on another account. I attached the EA to a chart on one account, but when I switched account, the Journal tab immediately showed a log that the EA was removed. Is it not possible then to run them simultaneously? Is having another computer the only solution?

You can't run 2 EAs on 2 different trading accounts on 1 MT4 terminal, when you login into one account you are logged out of the other.

Install a second MT4 terminal to run your other trading account and EA.

When I install Metatrader from my broker Xbtfx, it doesn't prompt for the install location to use, so how can you install twice? I have installed from a few other brokers before, and I don't ever remember seeing one asking to choose the install location if needed.

Unicode not fully supported? Metatrader running in an can not open Metatrader

You need to install the second instance of your MT4 broker terminal on a different folder, watch the gif carefully and ingore the different broker please.
