Meta Trader Not Connecting

My meta trader connection bar is very low or none at all. Any reason why this might happen and are there any alternatives to meta trader so that when one fails I have a back up system.


Thank you

Do you have a live or demo account? If you are using a demo, just download a different demo provider such as FXDD, NorthFinance, IBFX etc.

If you just want to keep up to date on where the market is when your MT4 is down use a web based chart here:

did you use dial up connection?
if yes then use short timeframe for account history to 1 day or 3 days,, it helps a lot.

reduce pending and open order
reduce the total opened chart window

It might be as simple as there is no trading on Sunday and the borker is doing some maintenance.
Try deleting a chart, then opening it again from Market Watch. I had something similar a while back and that seemed to remake the connection.
You might have to do this with all your pairs.
Anyway, good luck
