On MT4, XM also lets you look up the list of trading servers directly inside the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have forgotten your password, go through the password reset process rather than trying one password after another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to log in to XM MT4\/MT5 on desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XM supports both MT4 and MT5 on desktop.
