MetaTrader support means you can use thousands of free and commercial Expert Advisors, custom indicators, and trading scripts from the MQL community. MT5 adds multi-asset trading, more timeframes (21 vs 9), and an improved strategy tester compared to MT4.
When choosing a platform, consider your trading style: scalpers need fast execution and one-click trading, swing traders need advanced charting and alerts, and algorithmic traders need EA/bot support with backtesting capabilities.
