MT5

For those that prefer a more traditional trading experience, our T1 account is also compatible with the MT5 platform. With advanced tools and support for algorithmic trading, it’s no wonder MT5 is popular among forex traders.

Forex trading involves risk. Losses can exceed deposits.

An industry standard

MT5 has followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, MetaTrader 4, to become the platform of choice for many forex traders. When compared to MT4 however, MT5 boasts several improvements and added benefits that can help you in your trading.

Designed and built for netting

Our Trading.com MT5 platform follows the same logic when processing both market and pending orders, meaning we offer the only FIFO workflow that doesn't restrict your trading.

New features and improved functionality

With 21 timeframes, double that of MT4, and a comprehensive list of technical indicators and drawing tools, our MT5 platform has everything you need to inform your trading.

Go deeper with your analysis

Our Trading.com MT5 platform features the ability to create synthetic currency pairs and custom indices, allowing you to take your trade analysis to new depths.

Faster and more efficient

As a 64-bit, multi-threaded platform, MT5 provides traders with a more optimized experience than MT4, including faster response times and more efficient order processing.

Never miss a thing

Our Trading.com MT5 platform is equipped with timestamps in milliseconds, as well as the ability to download historical tick data.

Trade at your own pace

The minimum trade size on our Trading.com MT5 platform is 100 units, compared to the 1,000 units required on MT4, allowing you to start smaller and work your way up.
