Multiple Meta Traders ??

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get Multiple MetaTrader platforms installed on my computer. I want to run a demo account to test some strategies and Ideas on the demo account with a different broker than I have my live account with..

Thanking you in advance for any help,

just download and install the mt4 platform from whatever broker you want to test with. Most have different directories that the software is installed into. Also, if you want to test multiple mt4 platforms with the same broker, when you install the software, just specify a different directory to install.

I think the shortcut gets overlaid.(?). Be sure to save the shortcut from the first install so that you can recreate it after the second install.

Make sure that each instance of Metatrader you want to run has its own directory/folder.

so how about if I want to trade live with MT4 platform same broker with 5 seperate account.is this method valid or there are other method?can anyone tell.

See IBFX web site:

Requires a minimum of 5 sub-accounts with power of attorney over each one.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to get the demo downloaded from a different broker than my live account and have both shortcuts on my desk top and both work just fine..

Again thanks for the help

I have very little experience with these retail platforms - willing to test out a few to see how they tick. Any ideas? As an aside, I worked for a US bank on their trading floor - so I'm not super duper familiar with retail trading platforms. I worked with one, spread based - simple to use, not great charting - not horrible either. Want to move to ECN and figure out the fuss over MT4. Thanking you in advance for your input.
