How to Login to MetaTrader 4/5
Server Search: Do not rely on the default dropdown. Manually type Eightcap-Real or the specific server number provided in your welcome email (e.g., Eightcap-Real-5).
Credential Match: Ensure you are using your Master Password for trading. Using the Investor Password will restrict you to read-only access.
TradingView Connectivity
Account Type: You must open a dedicated “TradingView Account” in the Eightcap dashboard.
Connection: In the TradingView [Trading Panel], select Eightcap and enter your credentials.
Symbol Note: If using a Raw Account, always select symbols with the .r suffix (e.g., EURUSD.r) for accurate raw pricing.
The Same-Name Rule: All deposits and withdrawals must be processed through accounts in your exact registered name. Third-party payments are strictly prohibited under Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws.
Withdrawal Hierarchy:
Principal (Initial Deposit): Must be returned to the original source (especially for Credit/Debit card deposits).
Profits: Can be routed to a verified bank account via Wire Transfer or supported E-wallets.
Q: Why is my “New Order” button greyed out? A: You have likely logged in with your Investor Password. Log out and re-login using your Master Password to enable execution permissions.
Q: Why do I get an “Invalid Account” error? A: This is usually a server mismatch. Double-check your welcome email to confirm if your account is assigned to Real-1, Real-2, or Real-5. Ensure you are not using Demo credentials on a Live server.
Q: Why was my withdrawal rejected? A: Common reasons include having active trades that lower your margin level below the withdrawal threshold, or using a third-party bank account. Ensure all documents in your Client Portal are marked as “Approved.”
Before committing significant capital, perform a Validation Cycle: Deposit a small amount (e.g., $100), execute a test trade to verify latency, and perform a withdrawal to confirm the reliability of the funding corridor.
