The first step is to login to MT4. 

You got login and password when you registered at FBS.

You will be able to view the initial password to your MT4  / only within 24 hours after the registration.  

If you didn’t save it, get a new password in your personal area at fbs.com. 

 

Fire up MT4. A login window appears. 

Fill in the login details. 

Check that you got connected: 

the columns in the lower right corner should be green and blue. 

 

It may take more than one attempt to login.

If your first attempt failed, click “File” and then “Login to Trade Account”. 

Carefully fill in your login info. 

 

MT4 interface consists of a menu and tool panels on the top /chart windows and some additional things.

We will tell you more about each element of the program in next videos.

The level at which you sold the pair has appeared on the EUR/USD chart.

Wait until the trade shows the profit you want.
