The MetaTrader 5 platform is the logical successor to the successful MT4 platform and has taken the Forex field by storm since its release three years ago. According to Metaquotes, MT5 is, however, not just the new version of MT4, but a completely new platform with brand new features. Having said that, the developers were mindful to reboot the most successful features of MT4, whilst synergising them with its new features to create a new, innovative, seamless trading experience.
We offer two MT5 account types: a standard MT5 Pro and MT5 Pro Hedged accounts. The only difference between the two is the ability to open hedged positions in the same way you can do on MT4. Other than that trading conditions are the same for both account types.
Here Are The Key Features Of MetaTrader 5:
- New order type: stop limit order

- Free professional charting tools
