MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms are property of MetaQoutes.

The key difference between MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5 lies in the range of the CFD products that are available on each one. The MT4 platform gives you a chance to open positions on all of the 6 asset classes, whereas the MT5 doesn’t support shares, and cTrader doesn’t support shares and futures

Note that MetaTrader5 is a ‘netting’ platform by default. That means that trades are aggregated, and hedging is not possible, although we can provide a ‘hedging’ version of the platform on request

In terms of user-friendly potential, the MetaTrader range, including MT5 and MT4, is the classic go-to solution, while the cTrader (developed by Spotware) provides a larger range of modern features. As well as supporting advanced trading using mechanical systems such as cBots and EAs, technical indicators and external analysis, each type of account offers a desktop, web and mobile app, to meet all your trading needs

Please also note that you can open more than one account type and experience the full range of features and trading conditions

Risk Warning: CFDs and Margin FX are leveraged products that carry a high level of risk to your capital. Trading is not suitable for everyone and may result in you losing substantially more than your initial investment. You should only trade with money you can afford to lose. You should ensure before trading you fully understand the risks involved and consider your level of experience. If necessary you should seek independent advice.

Contracts for difference (‘CFDs’) are complex financial products that are traded on margin. Trading CFDs carries a high degree of risk. It is possible to lose all your capital. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. There are also risks associated with utilizing an Internet-based trade execution software application, including, but not limited to, the failure of hardware and software.

Margined Forex and CFD trading are leveraged products that may not be suitable for everyone, and you should ensure that you understand the risks involved and take care to manage your exposure. Please think carefully about whether such trading suits you, taking into consideration all the relevant circumstances as well as your personal resources. We do not recommend clients post their entire account balance to meet margin requirements. Clients can minimize their level of exposure by requesting a change in leverage limits.
