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 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:
Log in to your Exness account.
Go to My Accounts.
Select the account you want to use.
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.

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:
Check whether the account uses MT4 or MT5.
Get the Login and Server from your Exness Personal Area.
Have your Trading Password ready.
Open the right MetaTrader app.
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.
If you don’t have an Exness account yet, you can register an Exness account through Backcom.io and receive 100% rebates daily.
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.
Why won’t it log in even with the right account number?
Beyond the Login, you also need to check:
The Trading Password.
The Server.
The right MT4/MT5 platform.
Your internet connection.
If just one of these is wrong, the account will not connect.
Can I log in to several Exness accounts in the same MT4/MT5?
Yes. You can save and switch between multiple accounts in MetaTrader using Login to Trade Account.
