MetaTrader 5, also known as MT5, is an advanced multi-asset electronic trading platform developed by MetaQuotes Software. It was released in 2010 as the successor to MetaTrader 4 (MT4), offering enhanced features, more robust performance, and access to a wider range of financial markets. Like MT4, the MT5 platform is licensed to forex and CFD brokers who then provide it to their clients.
MT5 is a powerful and versatile trading platform that significantly enhances the trading experience through advanced tools, faster execution, and a broader range of supported asset classes.
Depending on the broker you use, you can trade online in:
-
Stocks (e.g., Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, etc.)
-
Indexes (e.g., S&P 500, Dow Jones, DAX 40, etc.)

Currency pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, among others)
