Why platform availability must be verified, not assumed
Search results and forum posts often describe broker platform lineups that are outdated or simply wrong. Brokers add and retire platform integrations, and third-party pages are rarely updated when that happens. MetaTrader support also tends to be tied to specific product types, such as leveraged forex or CFDs, which are not offered by every broker and are restricted in some jurisdictions. Before assuming Robinhood works with MetaTrader, go directly to the broker's official website, platform documentation and help center, and look for an explicit, current statement about supported platforms.
- Check the broker's official platform or trading technology page for a named list of supported platforms.
- Search the broker's help center for 'MetaTrader', 'MT4' or 'MT5' and note the date of any article you find.
- Treat third-party claims about platform support as unverified until confirmed in broker documents.
