MetaTrader 4 (MT4), developed by MetaQuotes, is one of the most popular forex trading platforms worldwide. In addition to FX, you can also trade CFDs across a range of popular indices and commodities.
MT4 allows you to use automated programs called Expert Advisors (EAs), which monitor the markets and can be set to trade on your behalf. You can build your own program or use an existing EA.
Download the MT4 platform to your desktop computer, and trade on the move with the MetaTrader 4 app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
Manage risk more effectively by calculating the lot-size corresponding to a cash risk (for example, 1% of account value).
Develop, test and apply your own automated algorithms with no coding knowledge, using trading robots, expert advisors or other MT4 traders.
MT4 charts can be fully customised and adjusted to suit your individual trading needs, including over 22 languages to choose from.
