On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can check your exposure (ratio of your assets vulnerable to price fluctuation risk). Check your portfolio by trade volume, ratio, and currency in the "Exposure" tab of the Terminal/Toolbox.

Here we will look at how to check your exposure on MT4/MT5.

Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.

Step 1

Click the "Exposure" tab in the Terminal. You can check your current exposure.
