How to run 2 Metatrader terminals from one broker at the same time

Task: there are 2 accounts that are opened by one broker. One account you want to use for expert advisors trading, and the other one to trade manually. What to do? Because after the installation of the second terminal from the same broker, the installer offers just to check the first installation.

The method exists and is very simple.

1. The first terminal we install as usual.
2. And now we start the installation of the second MT4.

Run the .exe installer, press the “Settings” button, where we will be asked to choose the installation directory.

3. At the line for choosing the directory, we change the folder name, where the terminal will be installed to any other, but of course, to be able to recall what folder is that 🙂

For example, the default installation folder is named MetaTrader 4 - RoboForex, and we will change it to MetaTrader 4 - RoboForex-2, to clearly separate the second terminal.

It was like this:

We do like that:

We are also offered to select a group from the menu “Programs”. We write the same as we did while choosing the installation directory name (in our example MetaTrader 4 - RoboForex-2)

Click “Next” and complete the installation.

5. Now you can find both terminals via Start-> Programs and use them simultaneously.

That’s it. Thank you for attention.

Take care, Michael
