What counts as an Exness trading platform

A trading platform is the software you use to see prices, open and close positions, and manage orders. Exness lists these platforms: Exness Terminal (web), MT WebTerminal (web, MT4/MT5), Exness Trade app (Android, iOS), MetaTrader 4 (desktop, Android, iOS), MetaTrader 5 (desktop, Android, iOS), MT4 MultiTerminal (Windows only).

Two of them, Exness Terminal and the Exness Trade app, are built by Exness. The rest come from MetaQuotes, the company behind MetaTrader. Your account is opened on either MT4 or MT5, and that choice decides which platforms you can log in to.

After registration, Exness creates a real Standard MT5 account and a demo Standard MT5 account. So a new user starts on MT5. You can open other accounts later in the Personal Area.

Leveraged CFD and forex trading can lose money fast, whichever platform you use. A better platform does not reduce that risk.

Which account types run where

The key split is MT4 versus MT5, not the account type. Standard, Pro, Zero and Raw Spread accounts can be opened on either platform family. For the Standard Cent account, Exness lists MT4 and MT5 (BTCUSDc, ETHUSDc not on MT4).

There is a regional caveat: in certain regions MT5 accounts are usable only in MetaTrader 5, not in Exness Terminals. Exness does not name these regions, so check what your Personal Area allows.

Some account details differ by platform, for example the extra cent currencies: USC, EUC, GBC, CHC, AUC, CAC, JPC (MT5/Exness only), IDC (MT5/Exness only), THC (MT5/Exness only), VNC (MT5/Exness only). For full account conditions see Account types.

Feature comparison

The table covers the features traders ask about most. "MetaTrader standard" means the general behaviour of MetaQuotes software, not an Exness-specific claim. Where Exness gives no information, check inside the platform.

On the Exness side, the source says: Exness Terminal and Exness Trade: TradingView charts, 100+ indicators, 50 drawing tools.

Short definitions:

• One-click trading opens a market order with a single click, without a confirmation window. It is fast, and mistakes are fast too. See One-click trading.
• Indicators are calculations drawn on a chart, such as moving averages. Custom indicators are extra files you install yourself. See Add indicators and Custom indicators.
• Expert Advisors are automated programs written in MQL4 or MQL5 that can place orders for you. They need a running desktop terminal or a server. See Expert Advisors and MQL4 and MQL5.
• TradingView charts are a charting engine used inside the Exness platforms. See TradingView charts.

Exness MT4 or MT5: how to decide

Choose MT4 if you already use MT4 Expert Advisors or indicators that have no MT5 version, or if you need MultiTerminal to manage several MT4 accounts on Windows.

Choose MT5 if you want access to the Exness Terminal and the Exness Trade app, since both work with MT5 accounts only. MT5 also uses newer MQL5 code. Note that some instruments are MT5-only, for example on the cent account BTCUSDc and ETHUSDc are not offered on MT4.

A detailed comparison is on MT4 vs MT5.

Getting a platform running

These steps match how Exness describes access; menu names inside your Personal Area may change, so follow what you see there.

1. Register and log in to the Personal Area. See Registration and Login.
2. Check whether your trading account is MT4 or MT5. This decides your platform options.
3. For the Exness Terminal, open it from the Personal Area in a supported browser. No download is needed.
4. For MetaTrader desktop, use the installer linked on the official Exness site, then log in with your account number, password and server.
5. Keep MetaTrader updated. Exness supports only MT4 build 1440, MT5 build 4755 (from 01 July 2025). Older builds may not connect; see MetaTrader errors.
