XM allows us to use MetaTrader as a trading platform.
Both MT4 and MT5 can be used in XM.
MetaTrader is a trading platform used by traders around the world.
It is a tool developed by Metaquotes corp. and provided free of charge, and it can be downloaded from the official website of Metaquotes, but it may not be used well.
In this article, I will explain how to use MT4 / MT5 in XM step by step from download, installation to login.
What is MetaTrader, the difference between MT4 and MT5, and the basic usage are summarized in another article “What is MetaTrader? About MT4 / MT5 used by traders all over the world“, so please have a look there.
In addition, the installation method and basic usage of the mobile app version of MetaTrader are also summarized in another article “How to Install MT4/MT5 Mobile App“.
How to Install XM MT4/MT5
From here, I will explain the installation procedure of MT4 of XM.
XM supports both MT4 and MT5, and the basic flow and operation method are the same.
You have to choose MT4 or MT5 as your platform when you open your account.
If you select MT4, you will be provided with a dedicated MT4 account ID, password, and connection server for MT4.
Even within the same forex broker, MT4 and MT5 account IDs and passwords cannot be shared.
Please be careful not to make a mistake.
Download XM MT4
Select “PLATFORM” from XM official site top page.
Download links for MT4 and MT5 will be displayed, as well as for Windows (for PC) and Mac.
Here, the example of “MT4 for PC” (MT4 for Windows) is explained.
Notes for XM MT4/MT5 Download
Be sure to download the PC version of MT4 / MT5 from the official website of XM.
This is because each broker has customized MetaTrader, and in particular, the server to connect to is already registered in advance.
You can also download it from the official website of Metaquotes Software, but even if you search, sometimes the server to connect to XM may not appear.
