Route — Web Terminal, the borrowed desk
Exness Web Terminal: what has to be true about a screen that is not yours
Officially the Exness Terminal, and searched as the WebTrader, the browser platform is the only route that leaves nothing at all behind on the machine it was used on. That changes what preparing for it even means. Nothing here is about a device somebody owns; it is about the desk, the tab, the address in the bar, and the person who sits down at that chair afterwards.
Settled about the chair, not the computer
Three things to know about a screen somebody else can reach
A library machine, an office desktop, a laptop borrowed for an afternoon — this route is built for exactly those, and each of them raises a question no installed platform ever has to ask.
Who sits here next
Signing out of the Personal Area and closing the tab ends the session, and nothing stays installed on the machine. Both halves have to happen, though: a closed lid is not a sign-out, and the half that gets skipped is always the first one.
What the address bar says
Sign-in happens only on the official exness.com, and the terminal never asks for a password anywhere else. On a route made entirely of browser tabs the address bar is the lock on the door — read before typing rather than after.
Whether one click is enough to trade
One-click trading sends an order with a single click, skipping the confirmation window, and it places real orders immediately. On a screen other people reach, that is the setting worth finding first.
Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.

What the tab carries, and where each thing actually lives
Almost every worry about a borrowed machine answers itself once it is clear that hardly anything of consequence was ever on that machine to begin with.
| The thing | Where it lives | When the tab closes |
|---|---|---|
| The session | The Personal Area sign-in | Ends on signing out — closing alone is not the same act |
| The account, its balance and its history | With the account itself | Untouched: none of it was on the machine |
| Core timeframes and built-in indicators | The browser platform | Return with the next sign-in, anywhere |
| Market Watch, the live quote list, and the spread on the chart | The browser platform | Same — the tab renders them, it does not hold them |
| Automated trading robots and custom indicators | The installed terminals | Were never in the tab at all |
| Depth of market, the live order book | MT5 desktop | Stays there |

The single dependency
One fact about the account decides whether this door opens
The browser terminal signs in MT5-based accounts, real and demo. That is the entire account-side requirement, and it is settled at a moment that has nothing to do with browsers: trading accounts at Exness are opened for a specific platform, so the answer was fixed on a short form long before any tab was opened.
An account that will not appear in a browser tab is not a broken account. It is an MT4 account, and its doors are the MT4 desktop terminal and the MT4 mobile app. Where an MT4 account goes → · Which of the five types it is →
Asked at the door, and by whom
The browser tab: nothing. It opens from the account list, already knowing which account was clicked.
The installed terminals: a trading account number, a trading password and an exact server name. Which key opens which door →
The minute before walking away
Standing up from a desk that belongs to somebody else
Nothing in this list is a fault of the platform. Each one is a browser behaving exactly as browsers do, on a machine that was never going to be sitting there alone afterwards.
Five habits worth having on a borrowed machine
- Sign out, then close. The order matters only because doing the second usually makes people forget the first. Signing out of the Personal Area is the part that ends the session.
- Decline the offer to remember. A browser that volunteers to keep a sign-in is offering to leave it behind on somebody else’s machine. That prompt belongs to the browser, not to the platform, and on a borrowed desk the answer is no.
- Count the tabs. A second tab opened earlier and forgotten is still a window onto the same session; the sign-out has to catch all of them.
- Leave the review running. An identity check submitted from that desk carries on being processed without the desk. Handing the machine back does not pause anything.
- Take nothing with you but the address. Everything else — account list, history, settings — is waiting at the next sign-in, from any machine, in any modern browser.
Right answer, wrong answer
The situations this route was built for, and the two it is not
| Fits the browser tab | |
|---|---|
| A machine shared with other people | Yes — nothing is installed and the session ends with the sign-out |
| No permission to install anything | Yes — no installer to run and no administrator rights involved |
| A desk used once and given back | Yes — there is nothing afterwards to uninstall |
| Automated trading robots | No — they run inside the installed terminals |
| The deepest charting toolset | No — the tab keeps the core set |

Quick answers
Trading from a screen you are only borrowing — frequently asked questions
On a shared computer, is closing the tab enough?
Signing out of the Personal Area and closing the tab ends the session, and nothing stays installed on the machine — but it is the signing-out half that does the work. Closing a window on its own is the habit worth breaking here.
What is left on the machine afterwards?
Nothing of the platform: there is no installer, no package and no folder. The one exception is whatever the browser itself was allowed to remember, which is why the prompt offering to remember it is worth declining on a machine that is not yours.
Are the Exness Terminal, the Web Terminal and the WebTrader different things?
Three names, one browser platform. Exness Terminal is the official name; the other two are what people type into a search box.
Does any permission have to be granted on the computer?
None. No installer runs, so no administrator rights are asked for and a locked-down work machine stays exactly as it was — which is the whole reason this route exists on desks nobody controls.
Why does the tab never ask for an account number or a server name?
Because it opens from the account list inside the Personal Area, which already knows which account was clicked. Those two items are the platform login of the installed MT4 and MT5 terminals. Which key opens which door →
What does one-click trading change on a screen other people use?
It sends an order with a single click, skipping the confirmation window, and it places real orders immediately. That is a convenience at a private desk and something else entirely at a shared one. Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.
An account does not appear in the browser tab. What is wrong with it?
Most likely nothing. The browser terminal signs in MT5-based accounts, real and demo; an MT4 account trades through the MT4 desktop terminal or the MT4 mobile app instead.
Can a trading robot be left running in the tab overnight?
No. Automated trading robots and custom indicators live inside the installed terminals, not in a browser tab — and a machine that goes home with somebody else is the wrong place to leave anything running in any case.
The one thing that has to travel with you
Every habit on this page reduces to a single point: the only thing this route needs you to carry between desks is the registration address and its password, because everything else is already waiting on the other side of the sign-in. Creating that address is a short form on the official exness.com and it takes minutes. What the form asks for →
