Tips to MT4 2-terminal setup

When trading multiple currency pairs, there are many charts to monitor. Switch between too many charts can be cumbersome, so it is useful to have more than one screen. Most Desktop PC & Laptops support an extra screen. So by adding one more screen, you can have the benefit of 2 screens with minimum cost.

I even find it useful with more than one MT4 accounts running concurrently; each with a different trading strategy. So I set up with 2 screens, one for each account.

Also in MT4, you can sign in from 2 trading terminals for the same account.

1. Set up dual screen is quite simple :
1) plug in the second screen to the VGA port
2) From the Desktop, right click -> select "Graphic Properties" -> Check on "Multiple Display" to complete the configuration. You may also set the extended display to the left or right of your PC/Laptop screen. I suspect procedure for different PC brand may vary; hence get an IT savvy guy to assist if needed.

2. To install another MT4 Trader Platform, run the set up program a second time. Follow the installation wizard as before except for the 2 steps below:

1) After the License Agreement step; the prompt shows:
C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Trader 4

Change to (as example)
C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Demo 2

2) The next setup prompt,
Select program group shows: Interbank FX Trader 4

Again change to
Interbank FX Demo 2

Upon completion of sign up, you will see the new Interbank FX Demo 2 newly installed at:
Start -> All Programs -> Interbank FX Demo 2

3. Sign in with another account:
At the MT4 trading platform; select file -> login
enter login ID & Password

Hope you find the above useful.
