What FxPro MetaTrader 4 Offers
FxPro MetaTrader 4 is the desktop, mobile, and web platform used by traders who prioritize automation and charting depth. It runs on the MT4 engine but includes FxPro-specific server infrastructure and exclusive add-ons like Trading Central indicators.
The platform supports forex, indices, commodities, and stock CFDs. Execution speed sits below 13ms for major pairs. Leverage reaches up to 1:500 on forex majors and minors, and 1:100 on indices and commodities.
FxPro MT4 connects to two primary live servers: FxPro-MT4Live01 and FxPro-MT4Live02. Both are accessible from Jamaica without any regional restrictions. Demo accounts are available instantly, before verification is complete.

Account Registration for Jamaica
Before downloading FxPro MetaTrader 4, set up a live or demo account. Go to the FxPro website and select Jamaica as your country. Enter your email, a secure password (include uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols), your full legal name as it appears on your ID, date of birth, and phone number using the +1876 country code.
Add your residential address – Kingston, Portmore, Spanish Town, or wherever you are located. Fill in employment status, estimated income, net worth, and expected deposit range. These fields are required under FxPro’s onboarding process.
Verification Documents
Upload three items to complete verification. First, a government-issued photo ID – a Jamaican passport or national ID card works. Second, proof of residence dated within the last six months – a utility bill or bank statement from a local institution. Third, a liveness selfie taken through the platform’s verification flow.
Approval typically takes 24 to 48 hours. FxPro sends your MT4 login credentials and server details by email once approved.
Deposit Conditions
FxPro does not require a mandatory minimum deposit for live accounts. There is no fixed threshold to activate trading. In practice, the minimum depends on the payment method selected and its own floor limits. Many traders begin with a deposit of around $10 to $20 on a Standard account. The actual amount you need will vary depending on which payment option you use.
Download and Installation
Desktop – Windows
Download the installer from the FxPro Download Centre. Log in to FxPro Direct, go to Quick Access, then Download Centre, and select FxPro MetaTrader 4. Alternatively, navigate to All Tools on the main site, then Download Centre, and choose the Windows version.
The installer file is approximately 50MB. Your system must run Windows 7 or later. Right-click the downloaded .exe file and select Run as Administrator. Accept the license terms and let the installation complete – it takes two to three minutes.
After launch, a server selection dialog appears. Type FxPro-MT4Live01 or FxPro-MT4Live02 in the search field. Select the correct server, enter your login number and password from the verification email, and click OK.
Desktop – Mac
There is no native MT4 installer for macOS. Mac users access FxPro MetaTrader 4 through the WebTrader in any browser, or through the iOS mobile app. Both options provide full account access and charting.
Mobile – Android
Install the FxPro app from Google Play. The app requires Android 5.0 or later. Once installed, log in with the same credentials used on desktop. The app supports MT4 and MT5 accounts, displays real-time quotes, includes 30 indicators, covers 9 timeframes, and delivers push notifications for price alerts and order events. LiveChat support is accessible directly within the app.
Mobile – iOS
Download the MetaTrader 4 app from the App Store. It requires iOS 12.0 or later (iPhone 6s equivalent or newer). Log in with your FxPro credentials. The iOS app syncs with the desktop platform, so open positions and pending orders appear across devices.
WebTrader
No installation is required. Open any browser and go to the FxPro MT4 page. The WebTrader loads the full platform interface, including chart history, one-click trading, and support for 37 languages. It is the most practical option for Mac users or traders on shared computers.
Connecting Your FxPro Account to MT4
After installation, open MT4 on desktop. Go to File in the top menu, then Login to Trade Account. Enter your account number (the login ID from the FxPro email), your password, and select the correct server from the dropdown.
If the server does not appear automatically, type FxPro in the search field. Both FxPro-MT4Live01 and FxPro-MT4Live02 will appear. Select the one specified in your credentials email. The platform auto-adjusts for Jamaica Standard Time.
A green connection indicator appears in the bottom-right corner of the MT4 interface when login succeeds. A grey or red indicator means the connection failed – check your server selection and credentials first.
Key Features: Charting, Indicators, and Expert Advisors
Charting Tools
MT4 on FxPro opens three chart windows simultaneously. Each chart supports nine to fifteen timeframes, from M1 (one minute) to MN (monthly). Six chart types are available, including candlesticks, bars, and line charts.
The analytical toolkit includes 24 drawing objects – Fibonacci retracements, trend lines, horizontal levels, and geometric shapes. Layouts and color schemes are fully customizable and can be saved as templates. Trading Central tools are integrated, providing auto-detected trend directions, pivot and support levels, candlestick pattern recognition, and intraday signals with specific entry and exit targets.
Technical Indicators
FxPro MetaTrader 4 comes with 50+ pre-installed indicators. These include Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, Ichimoku Cloud, and Elliott Wave tools. Right-click any chart and select Indicators List to manage active indicators. Drag any indicator from the Navigator panel onto an open chart to apply it.
To add a custom indicator, go to File, then Open Data Folder. Navigate to MQL4, then Indicators. Paste the .ex4 or .mql4 file into that folder. Restart MT4. The indicator appears in the Navigator panel under Custom Indicators.
Expert Advisors and Automation
Expert Advisors (EAs) are automated trading scripts written in MQL4. They analyze market conditions and execute trades without manual input. FxPro places no restrictions on EA usage for accounts in Jamaica.
To install an EA, open File, then Open Data Folder. Go to MQL4, then Experts. Paste the EA file there and restart MT4. The EA appears in the Navigator panel. Drag it onto a chart to attach it.
Enable automated trading by going to Tools, then Options, then Expert Advisors. Tick Allow automated trading and Allow live trading. The AutoTrading button in the toolbar must show green. If the chart displays a sad face icon, the EA is not active – click the AutoTrading button to resolve this.
The Strategy Tester allows backtesting with up to 10 years of tick data. It includes genetic optimization to refine EA parameters. Accuracy reaches 99.9% with full tick data enabled.
Trading Instruments on MT4
FxPro MT4 covers 2,100+ instruments across multiple asset classes. The forex section includes 70+ pairs. This covers majors like EUR/USD and GBP/USD, minors, and exotic pairs. Spreads on EUR/USD average around 1.2 pips on a Standard account during normal market hours (London or New York sessions).
Indices cover 17 global benchmarks. Commodities include 8 instruments – gold, silver, oil, and others. Stock CFDs number over 170, drawn from US, European, and other exchanges. Crypto CFDs are also available.
To view all available instruments in MT4, right-click anywhere in the Market Watch panel and select Show All. MT4 hides many symbols by default. After clicking Show All, the full instrument list appears.
MT4 vs MT5: Which One to Use
Both platforms are available on FxPro. The choice depends on what you trade and whether you use automated strategies.
| Feature | MT4 | MT5 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Forex and CFDs | Multi-asset including equities |
| MQL Language | MQL4 | MQL5 |
| EA Ecosystem | Larger (millions of EAs) | Growing, newer EAs |
| Timeframes | 9 | 21 |
| Order Types | 4 pending types | 6 pending types |
| Built-in Indicators | 30 standard | 38 standard |
| Hedging | Supported | Supported (with netting option) |
| Strategy Tester | Single-threaded | Multi-threaded |
| Stock CFD Access | Limited | Broader |
| Best For | Forex traders, EA users | Multi-asset, advanced backtesting |
If your strategy uses MQL4 EAs already built and tested, stay on MT4. If you trade stock CFDs heavily or want faster multi-asset backtesting, MT5 is the more capable option. FxPro supports both, so switching between them does not require a new account.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Use this checklist when something goes wrong.
- Connection fails on login: Verify the server name is FxPro-MT4Live01 or FxPro-MT4Live02. Check that the account number is correct – it is a numeric ID, not your email address.
- Charts not loading: Right-click the chart and select Refresh. If history is missing, go to Tools, then History Center, select the pair and timeframe, and click Download.
- EA not executing trades: Check that AutoTrading is enabled (green button in toolbar). Open Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, and confirm Allow automated trading is ticked. Also check the EA’s own properties for Allow live trading.
- Sad face icon on chart: The EA is disabled. Click the AutoTrading button in the main toolbar to activate it.
- Spread appears wider than expected: Spreads widen during low-liquidity periods – before the London open (around 7:00 AM UTC) and after the New York close. Check the spread column in Market Watch for current values.
- Order rejected with “not enough money”: Your free margin is below the required margin for the lot size. Reduce lot size or deposit additional funds.
- Platform shows wrong time: MT4 displays server time, not local Jamaica time. Jamaica Standard Time (JST) is UTC-5. Adjust your chart session labels accordingly.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, use the 24/7 LiveChat available in the FxPro app or on the website. The FxPro Help section also includes a dedicated MT4/MT5 FAQ page with platform-specific solutions.
