FAQs – Migration of MT4 Accounts to MT5
General Questions
-
Why is the migration happening?
MT4 is being discontinued, and all services are being consolidated on MT5. MT5 provides enhanced stability, advanced features, and long-term support.
-
When will the migration take place?
- MT4 Standard accounts: Saturday 20 – Sunday 21 September 2025
- MT4 NDD accounts: Saturday 27 – Sunday 28 September 2025
-
Will my account number change?
No. Your MT5 account will keep the same login ID as your MT4 account.
-
What happens to my balance, positions, and history?
All balances, open positions, pending orders, and full account history will be transferred automatically.
-
Will trading be available during migration?
No. Trading will be unavailable during the migration weekends. Please manage your positions before Friday’s market close.
-
Will my trading conditions change?
No. Spreads, swaps, leverage, and commissions remain the same. Commissions will now be charged on a half-turn basis (both opening and closing).
-
What about Expert Advisors (EAs)?
MT4 EAs are not compatible with MT5. You will need to update or replace them with MT5-compatible versions.
-
How do I log in to MT5?
- Download MT5 from your Personal Page: https://my.earn.eu/terminal/download
- Log in with your existing account ID.
- On first login, MT5 will attempt to use your old MT4 password (this will fail) → you will then be prompted to set a new password.
-
Do I need to update my personal profile or details?
No. Your client profile remains the same.
-
Who can I contact for help?
Our Customer Support team is available via email, ticketing service, and live chat.
