MetaTrader 4 app: How you can start trading the markets on the go

MetaTrader 4 app: How you can start trading the markets on the go 

The markets are always on the move and therefore, traders who aim to take advantage of market opportunities as soon as they appear, need to be able to access their trading account at all times – even when they are away from their trading station at home.   

MetaTrader 4 is the most popular trading platform and the one most utilized by both retail and institutional traders. However, traders with busy schedules can also enjoy the same trading experience on their mobile devices – both Android and iPhone – through the MetaTrader 4 app or CMTrading’s SIRIX mobile app.  

The desktop version of the MetaTrader 4 app is normally the one that is recommended for beginner traders, however, the mobile version offers its own unique advantages such as ease of use, responsiveness and portability.  

Beneath the bare-bones interface of the MetaTrader 4 trading platform, there are powerful charting tools, custom indicators and third-party services that have proven vital for the success of millions of traders across the world, but sometimes traders ignore that they can also access their trading account and take advantage of market opportunities anytime and anywhere – as long they don’t forget their smartphone at home.  

MetaTrader 4 app download 

While the MetaTrader 4 app is available for free on both Android and iOS devices, it’s important to note that financial brokers normally provide clients with a customized version, which includes additional features and benefits that aren’t available in the default installation.  

For example, the desktop version of the MetaTrader 4 platform offered by CMTrading also provides clients with the Guardian Angel plugin, which monitors and provides recommendations and advice based on their trading performance. 

CMTrading clients who wish to trade on their phone can choose between two different trading platforms: 

1. CMTrading SIRIX Mobile app 

The recommended trading platform for mobile traders is the CMTrading SIRIX Mobile app. The app was designed to provide better performance and enhanced usability on mobile and also offers clients with access to social trading. 

Social trading features available in this app allow clients to follow other experienced traders as well as copy their trades or invest in their trading strategies and enjoy the same results.  

Beginner traders who don’t have experience with charting or lack the skills of fundamental and technical analysis can take advantage of this social trading, or copytrading features as they are commonly known to maximize their trading returns while they are still building their skills.  

Another great benefit of social trading is that both beginner and veteran traders can utilize it to diversify their trading portfolio. For example, if the stock or commodities market is enjoying powerful trends with high potential returns, clients who aren’t familiar with those asset classes can just copy the trades of one of the expert traders who focuses on these markets exclusively.  

The SIRIX Mobile app by CMTrading combines all the useful features available in the MetaTrader 4 app while still offering a uniquely responsive and user-friendly experience designed exclusively for the trader on the go.  

Prospective clients can also download and open a demo account directly through the SIRIX Mobile app in order to test out their strategy as well as the copytrading features without risk for unlimited time.  

1. MetaTrader 4 app 

Traders who want to remain within the MetaTrader 4 ecosystem, or even want to test out which app is better for their needs can search for and download the default MetaTrader 4 app directly from their phone’s app store and login with the trading account credentials. 

The MetaTrader 4 app offers an almost identical user interface with that of the desktop version, which makes it easier for clients who are already familiar with the platform transition to trading on mobile.  

As soon as clients log in their account with MetaTrader 4, they can find quotes for the most popular instruments available under CMTrading’s offering as well as switch to the Charts view, which offers the same powerful indicators and different timeframes available in the desktop version.

Being a retail brokerage that specializes in CFDs (Contracts for Difference), CMTrading provides clients with unique advantages such as powerful leverage, which allows traders with smaller accounts to gain exposure to much larger positions. This translates to substantially higher profit potential, however, it should be noted that leverage also increases your exposure to downside risk.     

While leverage typically adds a certain degree of risk to any investment, CMTrading also offers negative balance protection, thereby guaranteeing that potential losses will never exceed your invested capital.
