Running MT4 on 2 PCs

I`m running MT4 on my PC and also on my laptop. Same account. What are the limitations?
1. Do I have to close one when I`m using the other or they both could be running?
2. If I close one, what ordered are not saved and will not show on the other? Like MT4 trailing stops (no EA), pending orders etc.
3. What if MT4 closed in both of them? Besides EAs, all my orders and stops (Trailing etc) will be up and valid?

If hard pending orders are placed (TP/SL/Limit/BuyStops, etc...), it is directly on the broker's sever. So, no matter if you close or open your MT4 nothing will change there. Unless you have an EA that says differently when you re-open MT4,or on the other platform that is running.

Trailling and others are MT4 based.

Try two demo instances with your setup, and all your questions will be answered .

Hope this helps.

Hi,

1. No, you do not have to close one of MT4 instances when you are working on the other one, actually two traders can operate on the same account from different computers at the same time
2. If you close one of the terminals everything which you have sent to the broker's server will leave untouched (for example pending orders). You will also notice that when you open the pending order on one compter you will immediately see this pending order on the clone terminal on other computer
3. Your orders will stay alive after you close all terminals connected to your accounts and Hard Stops/Take profits will work as well, but I'm not sure about trailing stops...
