MetaTrader 4 on mobile puts your trading account in your pocket. Whether you're watching a Forex position during a commute or placing a Gold trade away from your desk, the MT4 mobile app gives you full account access without needing a desktop install.
This guide walks you through the complete MetaTrader 4 mobile setup on both iOS and Android — from downloading the app to placing your first trade. It also covers how to connect your Wisuno account so you're ready to trade Forex, commodities, indices, and more from day one.
What You Need Before You Start
Before opening the app, have these three things ready:
- A trading account with your broker. If you don't have one yet, you can open a Demo or live account at Wisuno in a few minutes.
- Your login credentials — your account number (or login ID), password, and your broker's server name.
- A stable internet connection for the initial download and setup.
The server name is the detail most traders overlook. It's included in your account confirmation email — keep it handy before you start.
Step 1: Download the MT4 Mobile App
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Search for MetaTrader 4.
- Select the app published by MetaQuotes Ltd — this is the official version.
- Tap Install and wait for the download to finish.
On iOS (iPhone and iPad)
- Open the App Store.
- Search for MetaTrader 4.
- Select the app by MetaQuotes Ltd.
- Tap Get, then authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
The app is free. If any source asks you to pay for the base MT4 app, you're not looking at the official version.
Step 2: Open the App and Find Your Broker
Once installed, open MT4. You'll land on a quotes screen or a prompt to add an account.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines, usually top-left) or go to Settings.
- Select New Account.
- Choose Login to an Existing Account.
- In the search bar, type your broker's name — for example, Wisuno.
- A list of available servers will appear. Select the one from your account confirmation email — live and demo servers are listed separately.
Getting the server right matters. If you connect to the wrong one, your credentials won't work even if they're correct.
Step 3: Log In to Your Account
With the correct server selected:
- Enter your Login (your account number).
- Enter your Password.
- Tap Sign In.
A successful login will show your account balance and begin syncing your open positions and history. If it fails, double-check the server name and confirm you're using the right password for that account type — demo and live accounts have separate credentials.
Step 4: Explore the Main Navigation
MT4 mobile uses a bottom navigation bar with five sections:
| Tab | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Quotes | Live prices for all instruments in your watchlist |
| Charts | Price charts with timeframes and technical indicators |
| Trade | Open positions, pending orders, and account balance |
| History | Completed trades and account statement |
| News | Market news feed |
Take a few minutes to get familiar before placing any trade. Knowing where your positions and balance live saves you time when markets move fast.
Step 5: Customize Your Watchlist
The default quotes list may not include the instruments you want. To add or remove symbols:
- Go to the Quotes tab.
- Tap the pencil icon or the + button (varies by OS).
- Browse by category — Forex, Metals, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Crypto.
- Tap the star or + next to any instrument to add it to your watchlist.
If you trade EUR/USD, Gold (XAUUSD), or the S&P 500, add them here so they're visible at a glance.
Step 6: Read a Chart and Apply Indicators
Tap any instrument in your Quotes list to open its chart.
- Pinch to zoom in or out on the timeframe.
- Tap the timeframe selector (M1, M5, H1, D1, etc.) to switch between views.
- Tap the indicator icon (the f(x) symbol or similar) to add tools like Moving Averages, RSI, or Bollinger Bands.
MT4 mobile supports the same core indicators available on desktop, so your analysis approach carries over without adjustment when you switch devices.
Step 7: Place a Trade
When you're ready to open a position:
- From the Quotes tab, tap the instrument you want to trade.
- Tap Trade or the buy/sell price buttons.
- A new order screen opens. Set:
- Volume (lot size)
- Stop Loss (optional but strongly recommended)
- Take Profit (optional)
- Order type — Market Execution for an immediate fill, or Pending Order to set a specific entry price
- Tap Buy or Sell to confirm.
Set a Stop Loss before confirming. CFD trading carries significant risk, and positions can move against you quickly. Every trade setup should start with knowing your maximum acceptable loss.
Step 8: Monitor and Manage Open Positions
The Trade tab shows all your open positions. From here you can:
- Modify a position to adjust Stop Loss or Take Profit levels.
- Close a position partially or in full.
- Track your floating profit/loss in real time.
To modify, tap and hold a position on Android, or swipe left on iOS, to reveal your options.
Step 9: Switch Between Multiple Accounts
If you have more than one account — say, a Demo account alongside a live Standard or ECN account — you can switch between them without logging out.
- Go to Settings or tap the account number at the top of the Trade tab.
- Select Manage Accounts.
- Add additional accounts using the same login process from Steps 2 and 3.
This is useful when you want to test a strategy on Demo while keeping your live account active. Wisuno supports both account types on the same platform, so switching is seamless.
Step 10: Set Up Price Alerts and Notifications
MT4 mobile can notify you when price reaches a level you're watching.
- In the Quotes tab, tap and hold an instrument.
- Select Create Alert.
- Set the price level and condition (above or below).
- Make sure push notifications are enabled for MT4 in your phone's settings.
Price alerts keep you informed without having to watch the screen all day.
Tips for a Better MT4 Mobile Experience
- Use a strong password for your trading account and avoid saving it on shared devices.
- Enable two-step verification on your broker account where available.
- Keep the app updated — MetaQuotes releases periodic updates that improve stability and fix bugs.
- Check your connection before placing trades. A dropped connection mid-order can cause slippage or partial fills.
- Start with the Demo account if you're new to mobile trading. It mirrors live market conditions without real capital at risk.
Trading on Mobile with Wisuno
Wisuno supports MT4 on mobile across all account types — including the USD Cent account for smaller positions while you build confidence, the Standard account, and the ECN account for tighter spreads and faster execution. If you don't have an account yet, the Demo account lets you run through every setup step above with zero financial risk.
Wisuno has operated continuously since 2013 and holds regulation across three jurisdictions: FSC Mauritius, CySEC Cyprus, and FSA Seychelles. That regulatory breadth matters when you're trusting a platform with real capital, whether you're trading from a desktop or a phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MetaTrader 4 mobile app free to download?
Yes. The official MT4 app published by MetaQuotes Ltd is free on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. There are no charges to download or install it.
What server name do I need to log in on MT4 mobile?
Your broker provides the server name when you open an account — it's included in your account confirmation email. For Wisuno accounts, it will be listed there. Demo and live accounts typically use different servers.
Can I use the same MT4 login on multiple devices?
Yes. You can log in to the same MT4 account on multiple devices at the same time. Positions, balance, and history sync across all of them in real time.
What's the difference between a Demo account and a live account on MT4 mobile?
A Demo account uses virtual funds and mirrors real market conditions — ideal for practicing the setup and testing strategies without risking real capital. A live account uses real funds and real positions. Both run on the same MT4 interface.
Can I access the same instruments on MT4 mobile as on desktop?
MT4 mobile gives you access to the same instruments your broker offers, including Forex, Gold, indices like the S&P 500, commodities, and more. The instrument list depends on your broker's offering, not the app itself.
What should I do if MT4 mobile won't connect?
Start by confirming you've selected the correct server for your account type (live vs. demo). Then verify your login number and password. If the problem continues, check your internet connection and make sure the app is updated to the latest version.
Is MT4 mobile secure for live trading?
The MT4 app uses encrypted connections between your device and the broker's server. For additional security, use a strong unique password, avoid trading on public Wi-Fi without a VPN, and keep your device's operating system up to date.
Get Trading From Anywhere
Setting up MetaTrader 4 on mobile takes less than ten minutes. Download the app, connect to your broker's server, log in, and you're ready. You get the same charts, indicators, and order types as desktop — without being tied to one location.
If you're new to trading, start with a Demo account to get comfortable with the interface before committing real capital. When you're ready to go live, Wisuno offers account types built for every stage — from the USD Cent account for cautious beginners to ECN accounts for traders who want raw spreads and precise execution.
CFD trading involves risk. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
