OANDA Securities will end its Japanese MT4 service after trading on 14 November 2026, bringing the shutdown forward from 28 November. In its 6 November notice, the company cited security incidents in external VPS environments, rising cyber risks and its concerns about ageing software and maintenance.
Positions and balances remaining on the Tokyo MT4 server will be transferred to MT5 Standard Plan accounts over 14-15 November. Customers should create the destination account beforehand; OANDA says it will create one and transfer the assets if necessary. Customers with cash balances alone are asked to transfer funds themselves before closure, with a company-operated transfer as the fallback.
New York-server customers can continue through fxTrade or TradingView after MT4 access ends and are asked to check logins, workflows and positions in advance. MT5 login has required a one-time MFA code since 31 October. Finance Magnates also notes that MT4 EAs, indicators and templates do not carry over to MT5, so account migration will not reproduce a customer’s trading setup.
