2 platform, same broker

Can anyone teach me how to run 2 platforms with the same broker at the same time please?

Hi,
You should install your platform two times.

If you mean on the same computer: I just install a copy of metatrader to a different folder. For example with InterbankFX. The original install goes to a folder named 'Interbank Fx Trader 4' which is under the 'program files' folder. The second version I would install to a folder named 'IBFX Trader' or 'IBFX MT4' or whatever you want. You may need to rename the shortcut links on the desktop. I also edit the properties for the short cuts in the start menu so I don't get mixed up between accounts. I sometimes alter the icon for demo accounts vs real. After you install however many platforms you want use a different account number on each one.

If you mean on different computers using the same account number: I've found you can enter or edit trades off either platform. Use more care with EAs and trailing stops.

Thanks guys, I'll try it now.

Hi all

I have actually installed the MT4 platform 26 times (2 brokers) on my laptop, because I want to see how my EAs behave with each single currency pair and I want a clean account statement. But after opening the 20th platform
it quits.I think its my computer saying its enough.Dont know.

hello ..

You can also just copy the original folder which is in C:/Program Files , and paste it in another drive .. in drive D for example , and no need to rename anything ..

Salam .

lol 19 copies ... you are right could be your computer running out of resources to run them all simultaneous.
