System Requirements and Compatibility

Desktop Installation Requirements

MetaTrader 5 desktop requires Windows 7 or newer, at least 1GB RAM, and 1.5GB free disk space. For optimal performance, Windows 10 or 11 is recommended. Screen resolutions starting at 1024×768 pixels are supported, but 1920×1080 offers better chart clarity. The platform auto-connects to Exness servers optimized for Ethiopian traders, ensuring low latency and stable connections during peak trading hours.

Mobile Application Specifications

The mobile MetaTrader 5 app supports Android 5.0+ and iOS 11.0+. Installation requires approximately 150MB of storage. It performs well on 4G or WiFi networks and remains usable on slower 3G connections common in rural Ethiopia. The app provides real-time price updates, push notifications, and full trading capabilities on mobile devices.

Supported Operating Systems and Formats

MetaTrader 5 runs on Windows, Mac (via Wine or virtualization), Android, and iOS. File formats supported include .mq5 for custom indicators and Expert Advisors, and .ex5 for compiled programs. The platform accepts standard MT5 data feeds and complies with FIX API for institutional clients. Ethiopian traders can use USB or cloud storage to back up profiles and settings.

Account Registration Process for Ethiopian Residents

Ethiopian traders can open accounts via our official website by selecting Ethiopia as their residence. Identity verification requires Ethiopian passports, National IDs, or Kebele IDs, with English translations for Amharic documents. Address verification is done using bank statements or utility bills from local institutions like Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Registration approval for Ethiopian users usually occurs within 24 hours.

• Verify your phone number with the +251 country code.

MetaTrader 5 Download and Installation Guide

Desktop Platform Installation

Download the MetaTrader 5 installer from metatrader5.com or through the Exness Personal Area. The setup file (mt5setup.exe) takes 2-3 minutes to download on Ethiopian broadband. Run the installer with admin rights to ensure full functionality and firewall exceptions. It installs to the default directory unless changed manually. A system reboot after installation ensures all components are properly configured.

Mobile App Installation Process

Obtain the MetaTrader 5 app from Google Play or Apple App Store. The app size varies from 45MB to 67MB. After installation, select “Login to existing account” and choose “Exness-MT5Real” from the server list. Enter your login details issued in the Personal Area to connect to live trading servers.

Login and Server Selection

MetaTrader 5 requires selecting the correct server to connect. Ethiopian traders primarily use “Exness-MT5Real” or “Exness-MT5Real2” as backup. Incorrect server selection results in connection failure. Always confirm your server name matches your registration details in the Personal Area.

Account Configuration and Login Procedures

After registration, you receive unique login credentials for MetaTrader 5 accounts. Account numbers start from 2100000000 for Standard and 5100000000 for Pro accounts. Use the assigned password and server name to log in. Ethiopian traders should safeguard these credentials as password recovery requires identity confirmation.

Leverage options range from 1:2 up to 1:2000 depending on account type and deposit size. We recommend conservative leverage for risk management. Base currency options default to USD, but Ethiopian Birr deposits are accepted through supported funding methods.

Security Settings Configuration

Ethiopian traders should enable two-factor authentication via SMS (+251) or authenticator apps. MetaTrader 5 supports login notifications for new device access. Inactivity auto-logout activates after 30 minutes to prevent unauthorized trades. These features maintain account integrity and client safety.

Trading Interface Navigation and Tools

The Market Watch window provides live price feeds for forex pairs, commodities, and indices. Ethiopian traders can add symbols like EUR/USD, XAUUSD (Gold), and USOIL (Crude Oil) by right-clicking and selecting “Show All” or adding manually. Market Watch columns can be customized to display Bid, Ask, Spread, and Daily Change for efficient monitoring.

• Navigate between charts using tabs or shortcuts.
• Apply technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands via the “Insert” menu.
• Use 21 different timeframes to analyze market trends.
• Attach Expert Advisors for automated trading strategies.
• Access the built-in MetaTrader Market for additional tools and scripts.

MetaTrader 5 supports custom indicators coded in MQL5, allowing Ethiopian traders to tailor their analysis. We recommend testing custom tools on demo accounts before applying them live.

Order Execution and Trade Management

Exness executes market orders with average latency under 100 milliseconds. Ethiopian traders benefit from no requotes and price improvement technology. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders activate automatically, protecting positions without manual intervention. Pending orders such as Buy Limit or Sell Stop allow strategic entry at pre-set levels.

Negative balance protection is active on all accounts, preventing losses beyond deposited funds. We absorb any deficit during volatile conditions. Partial position closing and Trailing Stop features allow dynamic trade management directly from the MetaTrader 5 interface.

• Place market or pending orders via context menu or toolbar.
• Set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels at order entry or modify later.
• Activate Trailing Stop to lock profits as price moves favorably.
• Close partial positions using the “Close” dialog box.
• Monitor real-time trade reports in the Terminal window.

Position Sizing and Risk Control

Use the built-in risk calculator to determine position sizes based on risk percentage and account balance. Ethiopian traders should limit risk to 1-2% per trade to maintain capital. Margin levels are displayed in real-time, with margin calls triggered at 60% and stop-outs at 20% margin levels.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods for Ethiopian Traders

Due to Ethiopian forex regulations, we provide alternative funding methods beyond local bank transfers. Accepted options include cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether), Skrill, Neteller, and Perfect Money. Minimum deposits start at $10 for all methods.

Cryptocurrency deposits clear after blockchain confirmations – 10-30 minutes for Bitcoin and 2-5 minutes for Ethereum. Ethiopian traders can acquire cryptocurrencies through local exchanges or peer-to-peer platforms. Withdrawals use the same method as deposits, processed within 24 hours, subject to blockchain network conditions.

Cryptocurrency Funding Process

To deposit via cryptocurrency, open accounts with exchanges such as Binance or Ethiopian local platforms. Verify your identity and link Ethiopian bank or mobile money accounts for local currency conversion to crypto. Transfer purchased cryptocurrency to wallet addresses generated in the Personal Area. Each deposit generates unique wallet addresses to ensure correct crediting. Use QR codes or copy addresses carefully to avoid errors.

Customer Support and Technical Assistance

Exness offers 24/7 customer support through live chat, email, and phone in 14 languages including English for Ethiopian traders. Technical issues with MetaTrader 5 receive prompt attention, with resolution times averaging 2-4 hours. Our FAQ section addresses common platform and trading questions, tailored for African clients.

Support inquiries requiring account verification can be submitted through the Personal Area messaging system.
