This function can be used for different purposes, such as short-term and medium- to long-term trading. To use MT4 and MT5, you need to add and open a sub-account for MT4 and MT5 after opening the main account. For sub-accounts on the NY server, up to 10 accounts can be made, including one for FxTrade/TradingView.
