Once you have opened a trading account with Exness, you need to log that account in to MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) to follow charts, manage orders and place trades.

For beginners, logging in to Exness MT4/MT5 can get confusing between the account number, the trading password and the server. Get any one of those wrong — or open the wrong platform — and the account simply will not connect.

Below is a detailed guide to logging in to your Exness account on both desktop and mobile.

What do you need to log in to Exness MT4/MT5?

Before opening MetaTrader, have your Exness trading account details ready:

What you need to prepare to log in to Exness MT4/MT5: login, trading password, server and platform
What you need before logging in to Exness MT4/MT5

Exness confirms that the Login number, Trading Password and Server are the details required to log an account in to MetaTrader.

Check whether your Exness account uses MT4 or MT5

Not every Exness account runs on the same MetaTrader version. So the first step is to check whether yours was created on MT4 or MT5.

You can check this in your Exness Personal Area:

  1. Log in to your Exness account.
  2. Go to My Accounts.
  3. Select the account you want to use.
  4. Look for the MT4 or MT5 label shown on the account.

Keep in mind:

  • An account created on MT4 can only log in to MT4.
  • An account created on MT5 can only log in to MT5.
  • Entering the right account number on the wrong platform will still fail.

How to find your Exness login, trading password and server

To log in to Exness MT4/MT5, you need three details:

  • Login: your trading account number.
  • Trading Password: the password for trading.
  • Server: the server your account sits on.

How to check them:

  1. Log in to your Exness Personal Area.
  2. Go to My Accounts.
  3. Select the account you want to log in with.
  4. Read the Login and Server in the account details.

If you have forgotten your Trading Password, select Change trading password to set a new one.

Note: your Trading Password is not the same as the password for your Exness Personal Area.

How do you know the login worked?

After entering your account details, you can check the connection status straight away in MT4/MT5.

Checking connection status and account details

Signs that your Exness account has logged in successfully:

  • Prices and charts start updating.
  • Balance, Equity and your account details are displayed.
  • The account appears in the Accounts list.
  • The No Connection message or login error is gone.

If no data appears, re-check your Login, Trading Password, Server and your internet connection.

Common Exness MT4/MT5 login errors

When logging in to Exness MT4/MT5, most errors come from mistyped account details, the wrong server, or an unstable network connection.

“Authorization Failed” or “Invalid Account”

This error usually means the login details are wrong.

Check:

  • Login: the correct trading account number.
  • Trading Password: the correct trading password.
  • Server: the correct server for the account.
  • MT4/MT5: the matching platform.

If you have forgotten the Trading Password, reset it in your Exness Personal Area and log in again.

“No Connection” or “Common Error”

If MT4/MT5 shows No Connection or Common Error, the cause is usually connection-related.

Try this:

  1. Check your internet connection.
  2. Restart MT4/MT5.
  3. Re-select or re-scan the server.
  4. Update MetaTrader to the latest version.
  5. Check your firewall or security software if the connection is still blocked.

Exness server not found in MT4/MT5

If you cannot find the server you need:

  1. Go to your Exness Personal Area.
  2. Check the exact server name for your account.
  3. Go back to MT4/MT5 and search for Exness.
  4. Select the correct server and log in again.

Tip: when a login fails, work through it in this order: MT4/MT5 → Login → Trading Password → Server → internet.

To avoid errors and keep your account secure:

  • Use the right platform: MT4 accounts log in to MT4, MT5 accounts log in to MT5.
  • Pick the right server: every account has its own server, so check it before logging in.
  • Don’t mix up passwords: the Trading Password is not the Exness Personal Area password.
  • Never share your login details: especially the Login and Trading Password.
  • Avoid saving passwords on public devices: save them only on your own device.
  • Keep MetaTrader updated: it reduces connection errors and keeps things running smoothly.

If the login fails, work through Login, Trading Password, Server and the MT4/MT5 platform in turn before trying again.

Summary

To log in to Exness MT4/MT5 successfully, all you need is the correct Login, Trading Password and Server, plus the MT4 or MT5 platform that matches your account.

The process in short:

  1. Check whether the account uses MT4 or MT5.
  2. Get the Login and Server from your Exness Personal Area.
  3. Have your Trading Password ready.
  4. Open the right MetaTrader app.
  5. Enter the details and connect the account.

If something goes wrong, check the Login, trading password, server and internet connection first, before trying anything else.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Can an Exness MT4 account log in to MT5?

No. An account created on MT4 works only with MT4, and an MT5 account works only with MT5.

Where do I find my Exness server?

Go to your Exness Personal Area → My Accounts and select the account you want to check to see its Login and Server.

What if I forget my Exness MT4/MT5 password?

If you have forgotten the Trading Password, go to your Exness Personal Area and select Change trading password to set a new one.

If just one of these is wrong, the account will not connect.
