    All about the Forex Trading Platforms

    There are many Forex trading platforms than we can count, but only a handful are worthy of the title of finest. As you can see, the greatest Forex trading platforms are highly subjective. This means that whoever declares anything to be the best does it based on their judgement rather than the consensus of the market.

    So just because MT4 is the greatest for you doesn’t imply it’s the best for everyone else. We cannot, however, dispute that certain platforms are far more popular than others. As a result, we’ll concentrate on just five platforms from which a trader may pick. Three of these platforms are regarded to be the most popular: MT4, MT5, and cTrader.

    Top Forex trading platforms and how to Choose

    Now let’s take a closer look at each of these platforms to see what they have to offer their users and why they are so popular. Even though some of the explanations are relatively similar, analysts have discovered certain discrepancies on these platforms. Let’s take a look!

    MT4 Platform

    MT4 platform is the most widely used Forex trading platform nowadays. It is available with practically every broker on the market. One of the primary reasons is that it was one of the earliest Forex trading software programmes ever developed.

    The fact that MT4 is so old makes it the greatest FX trading platform. Although the design may appear to be old, MT4 is well optimised. Every piece of software has flaws, but because MT4 has been around for so long, almost all of them have been addressed.

    Furthermore, because the community is so large, it’s incredibly easy to seek a solution from it if you ever have a problem with the platform.

    MT4 also has the benefit of being available on a far larger number of broker platforms than any other programme. As a result, traders have the option of switching brokers while maintaining their current platform.

    MT5

    The design of the MT4 and MT5 are identical. It’s nearly hard to tell the two apart. However, MT5 is regarded as one of the greatest trading platforms available in the Forex market not because it is identical to MT4, but because it is somewhat superior.

    The fundamental benefit of MT5 is that it has everything that MT4 has, but with more of it. MT4 has nine timeframes, but MT5 has twenty-one. Indicators, Expert Advisors, charting mechanics, and a variety of additional tools fall within this category.

    Furthermore, MT5 was not designed just for Forex trading; it is also suited for CFD trading, which might be useful for those wishing to diversify without switching platforms.

    cTrader

    In terms of popularity, we can easily state that cTrader is among the top 5 Forex trading platforms. It gets a little more subjective when it comes to using the platform.

    CTrader, like MT4, is extremely highly tuned. Spotware, the business behind it, took great care in developing this platform for both novice and experienced traders. Chart types, periods, indicators, and EAs are all extremely simple to access and utilise.

    Bottom Line

    Overall, MetaTrader 5 is an “improved” version of MetaTrader 4, but not to the point where it is the obvious option. The individuals who use this programme still give it a very subjective assessment. cTrader has a lot more current look to it in terms of design. MT4 appears to be developed for Windows XP, whereas cTrader appears to be geared for the popular Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating systems.
