MetaTrader 5 overview

Last update: 19.07.2022

MetaTrader is the last and regularly updated version of the trading terminal. To download MetaTrader for Windows and macOS as well as for Android and iOS, go to our website.

What distinguishes MetaTrader 5 from previous versions:

  • More advanced functionality for technical analysis and operating load;

  • Non-typical timeframes: M2, M3, M4, M6, M10, M12, M20, H2, H3, H6, H8, H12;

  • Depth of market;

  • The option to see the economic calendar right in the terminal;

  • Application of Eliott waves with one sweep;

  • More indicators and advisors;

  • Improved design and much else.


MetaTrader 5 provides two systems of order execution – Hedge and Netting.

The Hedge system allows any number of orders for one instrument. You can trade the same instrument in multiple directions (i.e. locking).

The Netting system allows only one order for each instrument. It sums up all orders opened for the same instrument. You can’t lock a position. The functionality of this system is close to the operation on the open market.

Make a notice that trading robot advisors, designed for MetaTrader 4, do not work on the MetaTrader 5 platform!

Trading on the MT5 is available for clients with an MT5 account. This account type provides the widest set of trading instruments (including cryptocurrencies) and the lowest spreads. Learn more about the MT5 account in the knowledge base.
