Confirm which platforms and versions are supported
MetaTrader exists in two main versions, MT4 and MT5, and they are not interchangeable. Expert advisors, custom indicators and account histories built for one version do not automatically carry over to the other. Some brokers offer both versions, some offer one, and availability can differ by account type or client region. Check the broker's official platform pages and confirm with support which versions are available to you, on which devices, and for which account types, before assuming your existing tools will work.
- Verify whether MT4, MT5 or both are currently offered for your account type and region.
- Check availability across desktop, web and mobile if you trade from multiple devices.
- Confirm whether your existing expert advisors or indicators are compatible with the offered version.
- Ask whether demo accounts are available on the same platform version you plan to trade live.
