Differences Between MT4 and MT5 Trading Platform

This write-up will show the significant differences in these platforms, how they are different, and what qualities make a difference between them. You can decide after comparing and decide which one is more profitable and reliable. 

There is a vast difference between these two trading platforms. Let’s see the significant differences between them. So let’s see the differences between  mt4 vs mt5.

• MT4 only offers forex trading, but on the other hand, MT5 gives traders access to C.F.D.s, stocks, and futures in addition to currencies.  
•  It depends on traders to decide what to trade, and based on that, they can choose their trading platform. MT4 is always my priority. It’s easy, flexible, and gives me the ability to tailor my transactions to my needs. On the other hand, MT5 is complex and confusing sometimes.  
• MT4 is created for C.F.D. currency instruments, while MT5 is an advanced multi-asset trading platform covering centralized and decentralized financial markets, including stock, futures, and forex trading instruments.  

• 4. MT5 is faster and more efficient than MT4. MT5 is a 64-bit multithreaded platform, while MT4 is a 32-bit single-threaded platform.

• MT4 has some qualities like user friendly design in M.Q.L. code, better UX, Taking less memory space, More choice of brokers. On the other hand, MT5 has more time frames & charts, ore features, Indicators.
•  Both platforms share a similar interface, but MT5 has more advanced features than MT4. MT4 is specially designed for Forex trading, but MT5 also supports C.F.D.S., stocks, etc.
• MT5 is faster and more efficient than MT4. MT5 is a 64-bit multithreaded platform, while MT4 is a 32-bit Mono threaded platform. 
• MT4 is designed for C.F.D. currency instruments, while MT5 is sophisticated multi-asset trading, a platform covering both centralized and decentralized financial markets, including stock, futures, and forex trading instruments. 
• The Meta Trader 4 trading platform is well known and has set the standard in the industry. The MetaTrader 5 trading platform is offered less frequently, although produced by the same company (Meta Quotes Software Corporation, based in Cyprus). 

• MetaTrader 5 is designed to trade on markets other than Forex, such as stocks and commodities, mainly because it is better able to participate in centralized trading exchanges.  

•  Another critical factor in the differential design in compliance with the U.S. “No Hedging Rules” states that U.S. Forex broker clients cannot rely on F.I.F.O. have to act. (Who goes in first, leaves first). This means that if a trader moves one lot of EUR/USD over a longer timeframe and then continues one lot of EUR/USD, the first trade must be closed before the second trade is completed. While MetaTrader 4 lists each transaction individually and allows the management of each article, MetaTrader 5 automatically summarizes all articles. Therefore, only MetaTrader 4 can handle hedging, MetaTrader 5 cannot. This is great for traders in the U.S. because they are not allowed to be protected by law, but many traders worldwide find hedging impossible. This is probably why many traders get annoyed that they are “encouraged” by their broker and possible Meta Quotes to use Metatrader 5 instead of Meta Trader 4. Therefore, MetaTrader 5 is designed to appeal to markets outside the Forex and U.S. markets and serve those markets’ inherent needs better than MetaTrader 4.
