Install MetaTrader 5 on Windows 10 or 11

  3. If you maintain multiple terminal installations, confirm the program and data folders used by each instance.

  3. Enter the account login and corresponding password.
  4. After connection, verify quotes, visible symbols, account status and trading permissions.
