This is the final step. Please complete the following operations in order on this page:

How to Log In with the Investor Password?

When you want to share viewing access with others, you only need to provide the following three pieces of information:
  • Trading Account Number
  • Investor Password
  • Server

The other party can use this password to log in on either the mobile or desktop version of MT4 to safely view your account performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the investor password set on the mobile phone be used on the desktop version?

A1: Yes. The password is tied to your "trading account" itself, not the device. Any changes made on one platform (iOS, Android, PC) will be synchronized across all platforms.

Q2: Why can't I find the "Change Password" option?

A2: Please ensure you are logged into a real or demo account. Some special account types provided by brokers may not support changing the password directly within the app. In this case, you will need to log into the broker's official website backend to perform the operation.
