We will explain the causes and countermeasures when you cannot log in and your account is invalid and cannot be used when trading with MT4 or MT5 on XMTrading. If the account information is incorrect when logging in, “Invalid Account” will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen. If this happens, you will not be able to trade, so you will need to check with the department to make sure your login information is correct.
What is an invalid account?
If you cannot successfully log in or connect to the server with MT4/MT5, “Invalid Account” will be displayed in the status bar at the bottom right. Possible causes include the following patterns: Among overseas FX companies, XM tends to have relatively stable security and operational servers, so there are few problems. If a problem occurs, consider the following possibilities. This message may appear when there is a possibility of account freezing, multiple accounts, opening or adding a demo account, logging in to MT4, depositing, deleting, etc.
Line is down, network error
There may be a line outage or a network error. Not being connected to the network will disable your account in the first place. If you are unable to click to connect to the official website or apply for a campaign, please check your network status.
Incorrect ID or password
If the login information of ID and password is incorrect, it may be displayed as “Invalid account”. Regarding mistakes in entering your MT4/MT5 ID, the ID is included in the email you received when you opened your XM account, so if you copy and paste it, you can be sure to enter it correctly.
Incorrect server information
Server information is included in the email sent from XM when you open an account. After checking, please select the server you want to use on MT4/MT5 again. This also applies to demo accounts, etc., so first check your email by accessing it on your smartphone. If it has not been left unattended for more than 90 days, it should not be a dormant account.
different platform
If you open an account with MT4, you can only log in to MT4, and if you open an account with MT5, you can only log in to MT5. Please note that you cannot log in to different versions of MetaTrader. If you get an error even after starting the tool and going to the management screen, this may be the case. You will not be able to log in unless you have completed identity verification.

old version
The version of MT4/MT5 supported by XM must be the latest. Older ones are no longer supported by XM and may appear as ‘Invalid Account’. You can check the MT4/MT5 version you are using from “Help” → “About”. If the automatic update setting is disabled, a manual version update is required.
Account activation
After opening an account with XM, you need to activate it in order to trade. If you don’t activate it, you can’t start the trade itself, so let’s hurry up and process it.
account freeze
If there are no transactions or deposits or withdrawals in your XM account and the account balance remains 0 for 90 days, your account will be frozen. With a frozen account, you will no longer be able to log in to MT4/MT5 or delete it. If this happens, you will have no choice but to create a new account. If you violate any of the terms of use or prohibitions, your account will be frozen and you will not be able to withdraw your balance.
server maintenance
If the server on the XM side is out of order or under maintenance, the server connection will fail and “Invalid account” will be displayed. There is no solution that the trader can handle, so please contact XM support and check the situation.
