# How to Connect Multiple MT4 Accounts to One Journal

Running multiple MT4 accounts is common among traders who manage live and demo accounts simultaneously, trade at multiple brokers, or work with prop firm challenge accounts. Trader Journal supports multiple accounts from a single app installation.

## When You Need Multiple Account Support

Common multi-account scenarios:

**Live + demo:** Testing a new strategy on demo while trading your main strategy live. Both accounts need tracking to compare performance.

**Multiple brokers:** Comparing execution quality or spreads across brokers on the same strategy.

**Prop firm + personal:** Your prop firm challenge account alongside your personal funded account. Each has different rules and both need monitoring.

**Strategy separation:** Some traders run different strategies on different accounts to track each strategy's performance independently.

## Account Limits by Plan

Trader Journal's subscription tiers determine how many MT4 accounts you can connect:

- **Free** - 1 account
- **Starter ($2/mo)** - 3 accounts
- **Pro ($5/mo)** - 5 accounts
- **Business ($10/mo)** - 10 accounts

On the free tier, attempting to add a second account shows the upgrade prompt.

## Adding Each Account

For each MT4 account you want to connect:

1. Go to Accounts tab > Add Account
2. Fill in the account details (platform: MT4, broker, server, login, currency, initial balance)
3. Copy the API key that is generated
4. Download the EA file from the setup walkthrough
5. Install the EA in your MT4 terminal
6. Configure the EA with the correct ApiUrl and the API key for this specific account

The key point: each account gets its own unique API key. When you configure the EA, you use that account's specific key. This is how the server knows which account the incoming trade data belongs to.

## Running Two EAs on the Same MT4 Terminal

If both accounts are at the same broker and use the same MT4 terminal, you can run two instances of the Trader Journal EA simultaneously:

- Open two charts (any instrument, any timeframe)
- Attach the EA to one chart, configure with Account A's API key
- Attach the EA to the other chart, configure with Account B's API key

Both EAs run simultaneously, each pushing data for its respective account. Make sure each EA is attached to a chart for the correct logged-in account - if MT4 only has one account logged in at a time, you will need to switch accounts and check both setups.

For accounts at different brokers, you use separate MT4 terminals (or separate MT4 installations). Each terminal has its own EA installation.

## Navigating Between Accounts in the App

Once multiple accounts are connected and syncing, the Dashboard shows an account switcher dropdown at the top of the screen. Tap it to see all your connected accounts.

Select an account to view its specific:
- Dashboard stats and equity curve
- Recent trades list
- Full trade history (Trades tab)
- Calendar heatmap
- Reports and analytics

Each account's data is completely separate. The app does not combine statistics across accounts - each account is its own independent view.

## Cross-Account Comparison

To compare performance between accounts, switch between them manually and compare the stats visually. This is most useful for comparing demo vs live performance of the same strategy.
