When it comes to Forex trading, you can not but consider trading platforms. Trading platforms make it possible for traders to initiate buy and sell orders, monitor price movement from charts, automate orders using stop loss and take profit, and also keep an eye on their trade from time to time.

Apart from Metatrader 4 (MT4) and Metatrader 5 (MT5), there is another version of the Metatrader platform, which is the MT4 Multiterminal.

Limitations Of Metatrader Multiterminal
Every good design has its limitations. Limitations are pointers to a good design. MT4 Multiterminal with its many advantages has limitations too. These are three limitations you should consider:
- Management of Trading accounts from servers other than Metatrader is not accepted. So make sure your assigned trading account has a reliable server. In addition, not all brokers accept multiterminal. Choose your broker with this in mind.
- The design of the platform doesn’t feature price charts and analytical tools.
- You cannot trade the same currency pairs on different accounts at the same time. This limitation is dependent on the type of account. For instance, trading on a cent and standard account simultaneously.
Regardless of its limitations, Metatrader Multiterminal is a good trading platform to try out.
