Question 1

Can I download MT4 from Libertex?

Accepted Answer

Yes — once your Libertex account is verified and the MT4 sub-account is set up, the broker provides MT4 download links for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. There's also a browser-based MT4 web terminal that runs without installation. The download itself is free; account setup happens in the broker's dashboard.

Question 2

How do I open an MT4 sub-account on Libertex?

Accepted Answer

Open the main Libertex account first (registration; KYC is needed only when you initiate a withdrawal). From your account dashboard, choose to create an MT4 sub-account — the broker generates a separate MT4 account number and password for use in the MT4 platform. Funding the MT4 sub-account is done via internal transfer from your main Libertex balance.

Question 3

What's the difference between Libertex's native platform and MT4?

Accepted Answer

Libertex's native platform is built around the multiplier-based CFD trading model, with a clean modern interface optimised for mobile. MT4 is a separate professional-grade desktop platform with full charting, Expert Advisors, custom indicators, and a denser workflow. Choose native for simpler trading and mobile-first use; choose MT4 for algo trading, technical analysis depth, or workflow continuity from another broker.

Question 4

Do Libertex multipliers work the same in MT4?

Accepted Answer

MT4 uses traditional leverage terminology rather than "multiplier", but the mechanic is identical. The leverage available on MT4 follows the standard MT4 account schedule — typically expressed as 1:30, 1:500, etc., depending on the instrument and your jurisdiction. The available leverage in MT4 is shown in the platform's contract specifications for each instrument.

Question 5

Are all Libertex instruments available in MT4?

Accepted Answer

No — the Libertex MT4 account exposes a focused subset: major forex pairs, major indices, and key commodities. The broader Libertex catalogue (1,300+ instruments including individual stocks, ETFs, bonds, and exotic crypto) is available on the native platform but not all of it in MT4. The MT4 platform's instrument list is the authoritative figure for what you can trade there.

Question 6

Can I run Expert Advisors (EAs) on Libertex MT4?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Libertex MT4 is a standard MT4 broker connection, so any MQL4-compatible EA runs as it would on any other MT4 broker. The broker's fair-use rules apply: extreme high-frequency or arbitrage strategies that exploit pricing latencies may be restricted, but standard automated strategies (trend-following, mean-reversion, news-based) are allowed.

Question 7

Does Libertex MT4 allow hedging (opening opposite positions on the same instrument)?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Libertex MT4 follows the standard MT4 hedging model: you can hold opposing buy and sell positions on the same instrument simultaneously, and each is margined independently. This is one of the structural differences between MT4 and the FIFO/no-hedging US-regulated model. For traders using grid systems, hedge-based strategies, or carry-trade overlays, the hedging account is the default behaviour on MT4. The broker's general fair-use policy applies — straightforward hedging is fine, abusive arbitrage across linked accounts is not.

Question 8

Can I run MT4 on a VPS for 24/7 Expert Advisor execution?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MT4 is designed to run on a VPS exactly for this use case. Libertex doesn't provide VPS hosting directly, but standard third-party MT4 VPS providers (MQL5 Virtual Hosting, ForexVPS, BeeksFX and others) work without configuration changes. A low-latency VPS keeps your EA running 24/5 across market hours regardless of whether your local machine is on, and avoids order-execution delays caused by home-internet latency. Typical entry-level MT4 VPS plans run $15–30 per month. For any EA running real capital, a VPS is effectively required — relying on a home machine staying online for weeks is operationally fragile.

Question 9

Is scalping allowed on Libertex MT4?

Accepted Answer

Yes — scalping is permitted on Libertex's standard retail accounts, including the MT4 sub-account, with no minimum-holding-period or anti-scalping clause in the standard terms of service. Practical caveats: under fast-market conditions, MT4 execution speed depends on the route between your client and the broker's MT4 server — a VPS close to the server location reduces slippage. Strategies relying on sub-second arbitrage between the broker's quote and the underlying market may run into fair-use limits even where scalping itself is allowed. See the scalping rules page /scalping/ for the broader picture across all Libertex account types.

Question 10

Can I backtest a strategy on Libertex MT4 before going live?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MT4's Strategy Tester is built-in and works against the broker's historical tick data once the MT4 sub-account is connected. Typical workflow: open Strategy Tester (Ctrl+R), select the EA, choose a symbol and date range, pick a modelling quality (every tick is most accurate but slowest), run the test. The output includes equity curve, profit factor, drawdown, win rate, and trade log. For more rigorous workflows, use the Walk-Forward Optimisation feature (Genetic algorithm in newer MT4 builds) to test parameter robustness across rolling windows. Caveat: backtest results assume reference spreads — live results vary with actual spread conditions at execution time.

Question 11

MT4 or MT5 — which should I use?

Accepted Answer

If you need a specific MT4 EA or migrating from an MT4 broker, stay on MT4. If you're starting fresh and want broader instrument coverage, more order types, and a more modern platform, pick MT5. MT5 is not strictly "better" — it's the modern successor, but the MT4 ecosystem (EAs, indicators, community) is larger because of its 15+ year head start.
