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.
Open FXGT Account →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.
