To check if your MetaTrader terminal is connected to the server, you need to check the connection status on the “Status bar,” located in the lower part of the terminal, below all service windows.
Making the Status Bar Visible
Go to the “View” menu -> Click on the “Status Bar” button to ensure it is visible.
Understanding Connection Status Indicators
This is the server connection indicator. The top part of the indicator is for a direct connection to the server. The bottom part shows you are connected through a Data Center.
Fully Red: No connection with the selected server due to an Internet connection problem or an invalid password.
Green/Red: Direct connection to the server.
Green/Blue: Connection through a data center.
