MT4 Question: Different brokerage accounts under one instance?

Hello all,

I have accounts with Oanda and TradersWay. Each brokerage offers a download of the MT4 platform, customized with their respective logo, etc.

Question: If for example I am running the MT4 version of TradersWay and decide to switch to my Oanda account using the Tradersway MT4 install, would that cause any issues? i.e., inaccuracies in tick counts, price data, etc.

My assumption is that MT4 is simply a universal shell per se, adorned with the company logo from where you downloaded it. However, if one is connecting to the proper server, everything in respect to that broker should appear as expected. Am I correct to assume so?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

On the XM terminals i have noticed that searching for other brokers do not work as it is supposed to, maybe direct logins wont be restricted-
but i use a clean MT4 that doesn't belong to any broker.. so no such restrictions

That's right, it seems MQ has disabled the feature. And I think it did not work in MT5 either. So, one has to know the server name exactly, then it works.

That actually sounds like the better option when using multiple brokers.
I'll try that. Thank you!

I just redownloaded Oanda MT4 and it works for me. Can find several brokers by searching "forex" and can find my other specific broker by entering the trade server name.
