Mega1

Mega1 runs in your browser and as an app. You can open it straight from the client portal with nothing to install, use the web trader, or download it for Windows, macOS or Android.

Downloads

Device	Download
Windows	XBTFX Mega1 installer, 64-bit
macOS	XBTFX Mega1 for macOS, Apple silicon, macOS 12 or later
Android	Google Play, or the .apk file directly
Browser	Web trader

The Windows and macOS downloads are the XBTFX edition of Mega1, already set up for the XBTFX servers. The Android app is the standard Mega1 app, so pick XBTFX from the broker list the first time you open it. The desktop apps check for updates themselves and offer the new version when one is out.

There’s no iPhone or iPad app. On those, on Linux, and on an Intel Mac, use the web trader in your browser.

Opening Mega1 from the portal

Go to Accounts in the portal and find the Mega1 account you want to trade. Trade opens the terminal on that account. Access does the same from the confirmation dialog when you have just created one.

Inside the portal there’s no second sign-in. The portal login you already used is what gets you into Mega1, which is the main practical difference from MetaTrader 5. A Mega1 account ID starts with MEGA- and identifies the account in the portal.

If you hold several Mega1 accounts, each row on the Accounts page opens its own terminal session, so check which account is loaded before you place an order.

Signing in outside the portal

The apps and the web trader have their own sign-in, so they need a password that you set in the client portal first. There are two kinds:

• A Mega1 client login opens every Mega1 account you hold.
• A trading account password opens that one account and nothing else.

Either one works in every app and in the web trader. If you trade several accounts, the client login saves you signing in to each one separately.

What is in the terminal

The desktop apps and the web trader share the same working parts:

• Live quotes, and multi-chart layouts so several symbols stay in view.
• Order controls, with your open positions listed beside them.
• Market depth, for the book behind the current price.

Contract sizes, lot limits and trading hours all come from the same symbol data described in Symbol Specifications, so a symbol behaves identically whichever platform you open it on.

Automation and the native API

Mega1 has its own API. It covers current quote snapshots, historical candles, authenticated streaming where that is enabled, previewing and placing supported orders, and working with orders and positions. Everything it does is bounded by the account context and permissions attached to the credentials you connect with, so a credential cannot reach an account it was not issued for.

That makes it the connection point for anything you build yourself: a strategy, a monitoring dashboard, a specialist interface, or an agent driven workflow written with an AI coding assistant. Mega1 does not include a strategy builder of its own. You build elsewhere and connect.

Two different APIs

The Mega1 native API is not the same thing as the XBTFX Trading API documented at docs.xbtfx.com. That one works with Pro accounts, with keys from the API Console in the client portal. Access to either depends on your account and permissions. Ask through the chat widget which applies to yours.

Managed and copied accounts

Eligible Mega1 accounts work with the XBTFX Invest products, so a Mega1 account can follow a strategy through Copy Trading, or sit inside a MAM or PAMM structure run by a money manager. Eligibility and terms vary by product, and the Invest section covers each one.

An account inside a MAM structure has no Trade action on its row in the portal. That is expected: the manager trades it, you fund it and watch it. An account that is copying a strategy keeps its Trade action, because it is still your account to trade.

Something in the terminal not behaving? Open the chat widget with the account ID and what you were doing when it went wrong.
