MetaTrader 4

To view your trade history through MT4, log in to MT4 and go to the 'terminal' window.

Choose the 'account history' tab at the bottom of the terminal window. From here you can right click anywhere within the window; this will prompt you to select which history you'd like to download.

You can also view your trade history through your Next Generation account.

MT4 is designed to be used on a PC using what is called a .NET framework. This framework is not currently supported by Mac.

You can withdraw funds from your account online by clicking on the 'Payments' icon and then selecting the 'Withdrawals' tab in your Next Generation Trading account.

If you have any issues making a withdrawal, you can call our support team for assistance whenever the markets are open on 0800 26 26 27. Please be aware that for your protection, we may request additional information and/or proof of identity before processing the withdrawal request.

We do not transfer funds to a third-party account so please ensure that the bank account is in your name. Note: if your bank details are on file we will process your request the same day as long as your request is before the cut-off time of 2pm (Auckland time).

For further information on how to download and install MT4, you can read our guide here.

If you are experiencing issues with downloading or installing MT4 our support team will be happy to assist you on 0800 26 26 27.

To add an EA, open MT4 and go to ‘file.’ Then ‘open data folder’. Choose ‘MQL4’, and then ‘expert advisors’ or ‘indicators’.

You can then copy the file you want to add and drag/drop it into your preferred location. Close and reopen MT4, and you should see the item in the navigator window.

You can find your MT4 account statements within the Next Generation account.

You can access this by clicking on “Statement Centre” located in the Account tab, which is found on the main menu.

We use our native built, award-winning Next Generation trading platform to facilitate funding limitations within the MT4 platform and provide a secure funding process for our clients.

On top of funding, withdrawals and account information, your access to this Next Generation account also offers a market calendar, Reuters and client sentiment tools. 

In order to fund your MT4 account, you will need to use a credit or debit card or transfer funds from your bank account into the main ‘Payments’ tab’ within the Next Generation Trading Platform.

You will not be able to trade via this Next Generation account. This account is set up specifically for funding, withdrawals and account information only. Once funds are applied, they will appear simultaneously in both your Next Generation and MT4 accounts.

Fund your MT4 account through the admin portal.

Funding via Desktop
