System Requirements for MT4 with EC Markets
Before you install MT4, verify that your device meets our specifications. The table above lists the requirements for each operating system. Our platform needs a stable internet connection for live price streaming. In India, broadband with 1 Mbps speed works well for desktop use. Mobile traders require 3G, 4G, or 5G connectivity for smooth performance.
If you use a VPN in India, select servers with low latency. High latency can delay order execution and affect trade results. The desktop application is approximately 30 MB in size. The mobile app uses about 25 MB of storage space. We recommend 2 GB of RAM for Windows devices and 4 GB for Mac systems.
