Exness on a Windows PC — the download, the panels and two accounts (Jordan)
MetaTrader 5 and MT4 on Windows 10 and 11: what to install, what the terminal panel is telling you, and why the symbol search stays in Latin.
Open Exness Account →A Windows desk is where an account is read, not only where orders are sent. The MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 terminals install on Windows 10 and 11 and put balance, equity and free margin on the screen at the same time as the chart, and they hold more than one account at once — a demo sitting one click away from a live one.

The three numbers along the bottom of the terminal
Balance is what is settled: closed trades and nothing else. Equity is that balance adjusted by what open positions are currently worth, so it moves with every tick while anything is open. Free margin is the part of the equity that is not already tied up holding those positions, and it is the figure that decides whether another order can be placed at all.
Reading the three together is the first desktop habit worth forming. A balance that looks healthy while free margin is nearly exhausted describes an account carrying more than it can add to; equity well below balance describes open positions currently under water. A phone screen shows the same numbers, but rarely all three at once, and the relationship between them is the point.
What each figure is built from can be checked rather than guessed. The measured spread readings and swap rates published here are the same inputs the trading calculator uses, so a margin figure on the desktop panel can be reproduced before an order is ever placed.
One terminal, two accounts
A desktop terminal keeps a list of accounts and switches between them, which is why a demo does not have to be a separate exercise on a separate device. The free demo runs the same platform over the same instrument list, so a routine rehearsed on it transfers without relearning anything.
The practical use of that is repetition. An approach that has been through the same sequence twice on a demo and behaved the same way both times is a different proposition from one that has only been imagined; the desktop is simply where both accounts fit on one screen while the comparison is made. Which account is which is worth confirming before every session — the two windows look alike.
Account types differ in how the cost is charged rather than in what the platform does, so the terminal looks the same on each. The account types page sets out which of them carry a commission instead of a wider spread, and the swap-free page covers the accounts on which the overnight line does not apply.
Typing on a bilingual keyboard
The symbol list is Latin and is not transliterated. EURUSD, XAUUSD and the rest are typed the same way on every desk in the world, so a keyboard left in Arabic input will return nothing from the search box until it is switched back. It costs a minute once and never again.
Menus can read right to left without any of the figures following them. Prices, volumes, lot sizes and timestamps are read left to right in every interface, and the column order in a table does not flip with the text, so a guide written against one reading direction still maps line by line onto the other.
The vocabulary is stable too. A market order takes what is available now, a pending order waits at a price that has not arrived yet, and a stop or a limit attached to an open position closes it without anyone watching the screen. Those are the same handful of concepts in either language, which is what makes changing the interface a matter of comfort rather than of relearning the program.
How Exness runs on a Windows PC
On a desktop PC, Exness runs through the MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 Windows terminals, which install on Windows 10 and Windows 11. The download links are in the Exness account area once you have signed in.
Desktop app or web on the PC
If you would rather not install a desktop app, the Exness Terminal runs in any browser on the PC with nothing to download. MetaTrader gives more advanced charting and automated trading; the web terminal starts without an install.
MetaTrader 5 & MT4 for Windows
See the MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 pages for what each desktop terminal does. Using a phone instead? See Android or iPhone & iPad.

Setting the desk up on Windows 10 or 11
- Install the Windows terminal that matches the account, and start it once before changing anything.
- Find balance, equity and free margin along the bottom of the window and read all three together.
- Switch the keyboard to Latin input before typing a symbol into the search box.
- Add the demo account beside the live one so both are one click apart, and confirm which is showing.
- Reproduce a margin figure in the trading calculator before the first order, so the panel and the arithmetic agree.
The platform is identical on every account type; only the way costs are charged differs.
