MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

MT5 is the broader build: 21 timeframes, depth of market, a built-in economic calendar and an in-platform strategy tester — and it is the only FXGT platform that runs the Optimus tier.

MT5 is the wider of FXGT's two MetaTrader builds: 21 timeframes, six pending-order types, depth of market and a built-in calendar — and the only FXGT platform that opens the Optimus tier, which is where the 1:5000 ceiling lives.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need MT5 rather than MT4 at FXGT?
Only for the Optimus tier, which does not run on MT4, and for depth of market. An Expert Advisor written for MT4 will not run on MT5 without being rewritten, so the existing toolkit usually decides it.
