Installing/using MT4 on android phone is not difficult Replied 2 months ago - Beginners should download mt4 from the brokers website and not from play store? I think any beginner should be able to install mt4 on their android phone but mistake they make is they download the mt4 straight from the google playstore instead of from their brokers website. What's the difference? The difference between downloading mt4 from brokers website vs from google play store is that mt4 from the broker has already been designed for easy installation/setup. The one you download from the play store is more technical to setup. What do you mean by more technical? More technical means when you download mt4 from the google play store, you have to start searching for your particular brokers name, and you have to select the brokers entity where your account is regulated. So, assuming you are based in the UK you have to select your brokers UK entity and not some other offshore entity. You then have to search for the actual server your account is hosted on and that is another technicality. However, when you download mt4 android from your brokers website, the process is shortened as you dint have to search for the brokers name as it is already inputted by default. Okay so how is the installation done? You start by opening an mt4 account with any regulated broker, then take note of your mt4 account number, password, and mt4 server name where your account is connected to. Click on "file" then select "login to trade account" . Use your mt4 account number as login, then insert your password and select the relevant server and you're good to go ! Remember that demo servers are for demo accounts and live servers are for live accounts. Dont go selecting demo server when the account number you inputted is that of your live account. How will I know if mt4 login is successful on my android phone? If your login attempt went successfully well, you will be able to see your account balance displayed on the mt4 android app. If you can't see your balance then check the steps again, you may have made a mistake somewhere. It's really simple and beginners should not get confused/discouraged.
