Frequently asked questions
MT4 or MT5 — which should I pick?
If your indicators and EAs are MT4-only, stay on MT4. MT5 is more capable but not backward-compatible, so existing MT4 tools will not load.
Can I use MT5 and MT4 at the same broker?
Often yes, but they are usually separate accounts with separate logins. Check before you commit.
Does MT5 mean more markets?
Typically yes — many MT5 brokers add stocks, futures and more instruments beyond forex and CFDs.
