System requirements for stable operation of the metatrader trading platform

When working with a computer, the biggest problem is that the programs you are using freeze or malfunction.

The main reason for such failures is the lack of computer resources that can be allocated for a specific program.

And if in most cases a software failure is simply a nuisance, in the case of trading programs this can result in financial losses.

Therefore, it is so important to know what requirements the metatreder trading platform makes for the resources of the computer used.

You can evaluate what resources your computer has by going to the computer properties System-System and Security-System, where all the information is indicated.

Hardware requirements are growing every day, but at the moment, for stable operation of the most popular trading program “Metatrader” on your computer you need:

Processor: 1 GHz or higher
OS: 64bit Windows 7 and higher
RAM: 1 GB
Storage: Free hard disk space 50 MB
Internet connection speed from 1 Mbit/s
Screen: Screen resolution 800x600

But even if your computer fully meets the required parameters, you may still experience malfunctions in the trading platform, this happens for two reasons:

There are not enough free resources - no matter how powerful your computer is, but if the applications running on it are resource-intensive and have a higher priority than metatreader, this will definitely affect the stability of the latter.

Check in the task manager which programs are taking up a lot of resources and stop them, while being careful with system applications:

Using the Internet – there may be a similar situation here, you have high-speed Internet, but the trading platform often freezes. The reason lies in the fact that the Internet is used by other programs.

In order to solve the problem, just close running browsers, torrent clients, and finish downloading or transferring files.

As an alternative for trading, you can now use the Web platform; unlike the stationary version, it has less functionality, but at the same time is less resource-intensive. At the same time, you can log into your account on any computer.
