Setup sequence
Namibia payment journey: Public lists cannot confirm what is enabled for one profile. Use the authenticated Personal Area (PA) as the live source for methods, limits, fees and processing estimates.
| Stage | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Account | PA says MT4 and gives server |
| Installer | Official source |
| Build | Help → About: 1440+ |
| Credentials | Account number + trading password |
| Connection | Live quote and Journal without login error |
| Demo | Ticket/order/history/reconnect pass |
MT4 compatibility
MQL4 EAs cannot run in MT5. MT4 WebTerminal/mobile support manual trading but not hosted EAs, custom desktop indicators or trailing-stop processing. Choose desktop/VPS only when automation is actually required.
Login diagnosis
| Message | Check |
|---|---|
| Invalid account | Number, trading password, exact server |
| No connection | Network, server rescan, build |
| Trade disabled | Verification/first deposit/account/session |
| Waiting for update | Login and quote/symbol state |
Payment workflow
- Complete profile verification.
- Select account currency before creation.
- Open PA Deposit.
- Use only a displayed owned method.
- Record currency conversion and invoice.
- Do not enter bank/card data into MT4.
Security rule
The MT4 terminal should never ask for a PA security code to log in. Withdrawal confirmations happen in the PA/security channel. Treat any MT4 plug-in asking for payment credentials as unsafe.
