MT4/MT5 Trading Issues

If you're facing issues while trading on MT4 or MT5, you’re not alone. Many traders come across problems like connection errors or trades not going through. Here's a simple guide with real examples to help you fix these issues fast.


🔌 Platform Shows “No Connection” or “Waiting for Update”

What it means:
The platform can't connect to the trading server. This stops you from placing trades or seeing live prices.

Example:
You open MT4, try to check EUR/USD, but nothing loads and you see “No connection” in the corner.

What to do:

  • ✅ Check your internet – open any website to confirm it's working.

  • ✅ Close and reopen the app.

  • ✅ Re-login with correct account number, password, and server.

  • ✅ Try another Wi-Fi or mobile network.


🔑 Error: "Invalid Account"

What it means:
Your account login or server is incorrect.

Example:
You try to log in, but the platform says “Invalid Account.” You double-check your password—it looks fine—but you had selected the wrong server.

What to do:

  • ✅ Make sure you're using the server that Doto shared in your welcome email.

  • ✅ Copy-paste your login number and password carefully.

  • ✅ Reset your password from your Doto account if needed.


You Try to Trade, But It Doesn’t Work

What it means:
The order is not accepted due to low balance, market closure, or trade size issues.

Example 1:
You try to buy EUR/USD, but nothing happens. You see a message about "Not enough money."
✔️ You’re trying to trade $10 lot size, but your balance is only $5.

Example 2:
You try to open a trade on Saturday, but it fails.
✔️ Forex markets are closed on weekends.

What to do:

  • ✅ Check your balance – try reducing the trade size.

  • ✅ Make sure you’re trading during market hours (Mon-Fri).

  • ✅ Try again after a few seconds or refresh the platform.


🔁 Price Keeps Changing / Platform Lags

What it means:
Your platform is reacting slowly to fast-moving market prices.

Example:
You try to open a trade, but the price keeps jumping. A message says “price changed” and your trade doesn’t go through.

What to do:

  • ✅ Make sure your internet is strong and stable.

  • ✅ Restart the platform.

  • ✅ Try using a smaller lot size or adjust the order quickly.
