Import MT4 accounts into a different computer

Hello.

The last 4 months I have been studying Forex trading and using MT4 on demo accounts at home, in my desktop machine.

I have been testing some strategies I learned during this period of time.

Since I have planned to move from my home place and travel, I bought a notebook.

I would like to import all my MT4 accounts in my notebook, included the account history and (little likely, I suppose) all the graphics I have drawn until now.
Is that possible? Is there anyone who can explain me the procedure?

This is for me a big issue, regarding not only demo accounts but also real accounts: I think it is a real issue, considering that a machine cannot last forever.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Hey mate!

On your new notebook, download MT4 (not MT5) and when asked to log in,

Type in the same username and password and server as you use on your desktop.

It may look like

Username : 29584284
Password : AXszdFte
Server : Axitrader-US05-Demo

Its case sensitive and needs to be spot on to work, make sure you get the server right.

All of your history / open positions are saved on the server not on your computer so you can have access anywhere you go so long as you have access to Mt4.

Im not sure about the lines on graphs etc… But i know that you can see your positions / history because i do it everyday on my Ipad / desktop / laptop!

Amy questions, just ask!

Happy trading!

And if you are unsure of your password, it should have been emailed to you when you created your acc :slight_smile:

Thanks AussieXXXXnoob.

What puzzled me is that, once installed, the first thing MT4 does is to prompt the user with opening a new account.
In my case, I did not want a new account but wanted to get access to already opened accounts.

So I clicked on ‘cancel’ and, straight after that, MT4 promted me with a login window. This is what I needed.
Once I got to the login window, I just needed to fill it with my account details.

The login window is under the ‘File’ menu. Any user who needs to add more accounts has to open the login window and tick on ‘Save account information’.

Many thanks
