The MetaTrader 4 platform is compatible across devices, facilitating smooth transitions between desktop and mobile trading. We provide step-by-step onboarding to ensure users can access the platform effortlessly.

Account Registration Process for Indian Traders

Indian users must sign up via our India-specific portal at octx-trade-india.com. Mobile phone verification requires the country code +91 for validation. We automatically set INR as the account base currency during registration. Document submission follows RBI and FCRA guidelines to meet compliance and anti-money laundering requirements. Verification is processed promptly within 24 hours on working days.

Required Documentation for Verification

Traders must provide a government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar, passport, or driving license. Proof of residential address must be recent utility bills or bank statements not older than 90 days.

The documents undergo automated checks and manual review for suspicious entries.

Verification Workflow

After uploading, documents are scanned for authenticity through government database cross-referencing. Traders receive status updates via SMS and email. Upon verification success, traders gain full access to deposit and trading features. If flagged, additional documents or clarifications may be requested. This process ensures compliance with Indian regulatory frameworks while safeguarding client accounts.
