Follow markets and manage funds on your phone, analyze charts and run strategies on your computer, or place orders in a browser. Exness Trade, MetaTrader desktop and web trading give you different ways to access a compatible trading account.
Web trading provides direct browser access. Exness Trade combines mobile MT5 trading with account and payment management. MetaTrader desktop adds custom indicators, EAs and strategy testing.
View quotes, analyze charts and manage orders without installing a desktop application. MT4 and MT5 accounts connect through their corresponding web trading environments.
Bring MT5 charts, orders, account information and payment operations together on your phone. Follow positions, adjust orders and manage account funds when you are away from your computer.
Use multiple charts, technical indicators and order tools on your computer. MetaEditor, custom indicators, Expert Advisors (EAs) and the Strategy Tester support a broader analysis and automated trading workflow.
All three options provide quotes and order tools. The main differences are account compatibility, payment management and support for custom indicators and locally running EAs.

Your Personal Area contains the details of your trading accounts. Compatible web, mobile and desktop platforms connect to the same server records for positions and orders.
Check whether your account uses MT4 or MT5, then find its trading account number and server. Your Personal Area password and trading password serve different login purposes.
Open web trading or use Exness Trade, MT4 or MT5 on a supported device. Existing EAs and custom indicators need a desktop platform that supports their program format.
MetaTrader uses your trading account number, trading password and server. In Exness Trade, sign in with your Personal Area credentials and select a compatible account.
Web trading depends on browser compatibility and connectivity. Mobile apps follow the requirements shown in the app store, while desktop platforms follow current MetaTrader system requirements. Charts, indicators and automated tasks also affect performance.
Use a compatible browser to view markets and place manual orders. Web terminals do not run desktop EAs; automated strategies need a supported desktop or hosted environment.
Exness Trade is available for supported iOS and Android devices. In-app trading supports Exness MT5 accounts. App availability depends on your region, store and operating system version.
Use MT4 or MT5 with the corresponding account for chart analysis, EAs and strategy testing. Locally running EAs require the terminal to remain open and connected to the trading server.
Use the corresponding MetaTrader desktop version on a supported macOS environment. EA and custom indicator compatibility depends on the program and runtime; web trading is also available for manual orders.
Answers about browser access, mobile trading, account compatibility and login details.
No. A web terminal runs in your browser and connects to compatible accounts. Exness Terminal supports MT5, while MetaTrader web environments depend on the selected platform. Desktop EAs, MetaEditor and the Strategy Tester do not run in web terminals.
Match the platform to your account first: MT4 accounts use MT4, and MT5 accounts use MT5. Existing EAs, indicators and scripts must also match the platform; MQL4 and MQL5 programs cannot be used interchangeably.
Exness Trade does not provide in-app trading for MT4 accounts. Use the MetaTrader 4 mobile app to trade an MT4 account. Exness Trade provides in-app trading for compatible Exness MT5 accounts.
Check the platform, trading account number, trading password and server name, then review your connection and error message. Your Personal Area password is not the MetaTrader trading password. If the problem continues, give support the error details without sharing passwords or verification codes.
Choose web trading, Exness Trade or MetaTrader desktop to follow markets and manage orders through a platform compatible with your account.
