Route — the browser terminal, counted by profile

Exness Web Terminal: the browser profile is the address, not the computer it runs on

The browser route is the one place in this setup where the thing being counted is not a machine. Two browsers on one computer are two addresses; one browser signed in on two computers can be treated as one. This page works through what that swap of unit changes — for the tab, for the prompt that greets an unfamiliar visitor, and for the bookmark that quietly stops working.

Decided by the account

Which accounts a browser will open, and why the machine has no say in it

Trading accounts at Exness are opened for a specific platform, and that choice is settled when the account is created. It rides with the account, so the browser answers identically on every computer its owner reaches for:

MT5

An MT5-based account opens in the tab

Real or demo, launched from the account list in the Personal Area on the official exness.com. Any modern browser is accepted, and the profile it opens in decides nothing about whether it opens.

MT4

An MT4 account gets the same answer anywhere

Switching profile, browser or computer changes nothing about it — the answer was fixed at the moment the account was created.

Add one

A further account can be added later

An additional MT5-based account is opened from the same account list and launches in a tab like any other. Adding one is not a second registration.

Platform specifications are published by the platform developer and by Exness and may change with new releases. Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.

The unit being counted

The profile is the address, and it is smaller than a computer and larger than a tab

A browser keeps its cookies, its stored data and its remembered sites per profile — the signed-in identity or the separate window the browser itself calls a profile. That, and not the hardware underneath it, is what a website is talking to. The consequences are easiest to read as a list of situations and what each one counts as:

Situation	Counts as	What follows from that
The same profile, reopened tomorrow	The same address	Recognised without ceremony
A second profile in the same browser	A different address	Treated as somewhere never seen before
Another browser on that one computer	A different address	Nothing carries over between the two
A private window	An address that expires on close	Everything it learned is discarded at the end
The same profile, stored data cleared	A brand-new address	The history of the profile is what was cleared
A profile synced to a second computer	Arguably one address	Two machines, one browser identity between them

Swipe the table sideways →

This is why a one-time code emailed at sign-in can arrive on a computer that has been in daily use for months: what the check reads is the profile in front of it, and a profile is replaced far more casually than a machine is. Sign-in prompts and sessions →

Tab, window, browser

What closing the tab does, and the three things it is confused with

Four distinctions worth having in advance

A closed tab leaves the profile exactly as it was. The tab is one view; what the profile has stored about the site is untouched by closing it, and that store is the thing an ending is actually about.
A reload is not a reconnect to anything of yours. Refreshing rebuilds the page from scratch and asks for the current state again. Nothing local is lost by it, because nothing local was holding the state.
A crashed browser is not a cancelled instruction. Whatever was already sent has already left; the tab going dark decides nothing about it. Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.
A second tab is a second view, not a second sign-in. Two tabs of the same account in one profile show the same thing twice, which is convenient and is also the easiest way to send an instruction that was meant once.

None of the four is a setting to be found and adjusted. They are consequences of the tab being a view rather than a program, and knowing them in advance saves the search.

The edge of the route

Where a browser tab stops being the right answer

The browser platform trades the same accounts at the same prices as the installed terminals; what it does not do is run files. Three of those limits are worth knowing before an afternoon is spent looking for the setting:

Added files do not run in a tab

Expert advisors and custom indicators are loaded by an installed terminal from its own folders. A browser has no such folders to read.
A profile cannot lend its arrangement to another

Nothing is exported between two of them and no menu offers it. The substitute is a short written note of the few settings that matter, kept somewhere a second profile can reach.
There is nothing here to back up

A profile holds preferences, not records. Nothing accumulates in it that would be worth preserving, which is the flip side of nothing being at risk in it.

Anyone who needs the file-driven tooling keeps an installed terminal for that and uses the tab elsewhere. Full MT5 charting → · All four platforms side by side →

Quick answers

Profiles, tabs and one account — frequently asked questions

Why does a bookmark saved straight to the trading screen stop working?

Because the terminal is launched from the account list in the Personal Area rather than reached at a fixed address. Bookmarking the Personal Area itself is the version of that habit which keeps working.

Does signing out of one tab close the terminal in another?

Signing out ends the session that both tabs were using, so both stop being signed in. Closing a tab, by contrast, ends nothing beyond that view.

Why does a private window behave like somewhere never visited?

Because it is built to discard what it learned when it closes. Each opening is a fresh address by design, which is the whole of the explanation.

Does clearing the browser's stored data affect the trading account?

Not at all. It clears what that profile had remembered about visited sites. The account, its balance and its orders are held on the broker's side and are unchanged by anything a browser deletes.

Do two profiles on one computer count against each other in any way?

They do not interact at all. Neither can read what the other stored, neither slows the other down, and using both in a day is indistinguishable from using two computers.

Can a browser extension interfere with the terminal?

An extension that blocks or rewrites page content can leave parts of any web application unrendered. Testing the same profile with extensions disabled, or a clean second profile, separates that from anything on the broker's side.

One registration behind every profile

Registration takes a few minutes on the official Exness website — an email address and a short questionnaire, with identity verification following in the Personal Area. An MT5-based account, real or demo, then opens the browser terminal from whichever profile its owner happens to be using. Full registration walkthrough →
