MetaTrader 5

Trade using the world’s most popular algorithmic trading platform. MetaQuotes designed MetaTrader 5 for the sophisticated retail trader. In short, it’s a multi-asset platform designed for more than just FX. Together with advanced charting and an algorithmic framework, MT5 gives you the tools for any strategy.

We selected MT5 for our traders to support traders across all styles and strategies. It’s the ideal system to deliver our institutional pricing, complete with depth of market.

What Makes MetaTrader 5 Great?

Automated Trading

MT5 is known for its algorithmic and automated trading capabilities. In general, these automated trading systems are commonly known as Expert Advisors (EAs). To start with, MetaQuotes created their own language (MQL5) for coding EAs and indicators in MT5. It’s included with the platform so you can create or update your strategy without leaving MT5.

Automated trading opens up a range of opportunities to take your trading to the next level. Firstly, an EA strategy can be traded 24/7 – even while you’re asleep or working. Secondly, by leveraging our VPS sponsorship you can run your trading system right next to our servers. This lets you trade with low latency. Finally, your automated trading system can make decisions faster than a human. Together, these create a powerful way to trade that MT5 gives you out of the box.

Advanced Charting

MetaTrader 5 charting takes things to the next level. It comes loaded with dozens of pre-made indicators for analysis. And extensive customization and drawing on your charts. Further, MetaQuotes has introduced new time-frames for your charts, such as 2 minute candles. In total, there are 21 time-frames to choose from. Also, view real and tick volumes, as well as a free economic calendar with events built right into the charts.

Community

Over 7 million unique visitors access the MQL5.com website each month. This huge community of traders gives rise to a lot of discussion and support from other traders. Additionally, it is a central marketplace for selling and sharing EAs, indicators and signals. Signals are a way to copy the trades of other successful traders. All without leaving the platform.

Mobile, Web and Desktop

MT5 has a rich mobile and web experience, letting you trade and check your account on the go. Conversely, when you want to go deeper, MT5 desktop gives you full customization. Here you can create and run EAs, or host your strategies on a VPS. No matter how you like to trade, MT5 has you covered.

Why upgrade to MetaTrader 5?

If you’re using MT4, now is a perfect time to make the change. MetaQuotes is pushing most of their new development into improving MT5. This means that MT4 is no longer receiving new features to improve your experience. While MT4 has been a great system for traders over decades now, it is no longer the cutting edge. MetaQuotes delivers fantastic new features to MetaTrader 5 regularly. Because of this, all users gain access automatically to any improvements.

Unlike MT4, MT5 is built using an entirely new 64-bit architecture. Additionally, MetaQuotes designed it to be a distributed system that can scale across servers. We use these changes to give you the best platform performance we can. In short, MT5 gives you improved performance and stability through it’s modern design.

We know our traders trade a range of assets. For that reason, we offer MT5 to give you options to trade what you like. Such as increased decimalization for cryptocurrencies and native support for shares and futures. You can always find something to suit your strategy, all in one platform.
