EC Markets Web Terminal
Trading an EC Markets account straight from a browser — the MetaTrader WebTrader, what it does and where it stops.
Open an account →EC Markets can be traded in a browser through the MetaTrader WebTrader, using the same account number, password and server as the desktop terminal — no installation required. This is an independent information site, not the official EC Markets website.
What the browser route gives you
- EC Markets lists WebTrader alongside MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and the mobile app, so an account can be traded in a browser with nothing installed on the machine.
- The web terminal signs in with the same MetaTrader account number, password and server as the desktop terminal and the phone — one account, one set of open positions.
- Live quotes, charts, market and pending orders, position management and the order history are all available in the browser tab.
- Expert Advisors, custom indicators and imported templates stay with the installed MetaTrader build; the browser version is for manual trading and monitoring.
- A browser session is the practical route on a work or shared computer in Vietnam where software cannot be installed, and it behaves the same on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Sign out when you finish on a device that is not yours, and keep two-factor authentication switched on in the client portal.
