The No.1 web trading platform¹

Our web platform means there's no download required to install the platform, while our charts are clear and easy to read, and you can view multiple charts simultaneously on one screen.

MetaTrader 4 enables you to trade CFDs on a large number of forex pairs, as well as all the major indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies. You have to download the platform, and there are an array of advanced features and tools. With MT4, you can also download or create programs called Expert Advisors, which are algorithms that can monitor and automate your trading.

Our web-based platform works across multiple browsers, while you can also trade on your mobile or tablet via our app, which includes mobile-optimised charting and in-app push notifications. Learn more about our mobile app, which works with iOS and Android.

No – you can create an account and log in to our web-based platform using your chosen browser. You'll be able to access the financial markets without installing any special software.

There's no cost when opening a live trading account with us. You can also view prices and use tools such as charts, Reuters news or Morningstar quantitative equity reports, free of charge. However, you'll need to deposit funds in your account to place a trade.
