Among the most known free graphical analysis platforms allowing algorithm trading

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Considering the low cost of the platform (free of charge) and the possibility of using robots (algorithm trading) of your own design, rented or purchased, it is a good alternative. Given the fact that Meta Trader 4 and 5 are possibly the most used trading platform worldwide, the number of users and contributors is immense. The MQL5 forum shows a great number of indicators and robot developers who may be happy to sell or rent their products.

Pros:

Meta Trader 5 and its brother application Meta Trader 4 are possibly the most used platforms worldwide both for manual trading and using robots (algorithm trading). The software was originally developed based on Linux and is usually distributed free of charge by most trading agents and hedge funds, becoming like the entry-level application for manny daytraders.

Cons:

Being a software usually available free of cost, the support is based on forums and users associations from a great number of countries. Basically, if help is needed it will require many times, extensive searching and reading before a solution is found. When using VPN to achieve better response time and less sleepage of orders, performance is good. Without using VPN, performance may be critical unless the trading agent provides a direct and upgraded communications channel with Meta Trader 5 servers. You may experience platform stops of several seconds sometimes.

Meta Trader 5 Review 2023-Softidity

5.0 last year

Comments: My overall experience with Meta Trader 5 is a positive one. it is an software that i recommend to other financial traders as it offers real time access to the markets. there are no delays and data is displayed at real time.Meta Trader 5 also allows its users to connect to many of the available brokers. you can sign up to a broker of your choice and still be able to connect the app.

Pros:

the main features that i love about Meta Trader 5 is the feature that allows you to open graphs from different currency pairs and be able to observe them all at the same time. Market watch becomes very easy for someone who need to observe different financial commodities at the same time.

Cons:

Difficulty for new users to understand the platform, for users that have not used the previous versions of the platform before, it becomes difficult to locate some of the tools that are critical to trading.

One of the best trading app ever.

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I have had the best experience on this software. the only thing that is still a problem is those missing indicators. but overall, it is a very good app.

Pros:

The best feature about this software is that I can open multiple charts of different pairs all at once and i can monitor different charts if i dont have multiple screens. Apart from that is the strategy tester that was made available so that people can practice within the app on real markets. They also have a "signals" option where one can choose from thousands of professional traders and copy their trades in a fully automated way. This really helped me as a beginner and made money while still learning...

Cons:

There are a lot of missing tools and indicators that some other platforms use. for example, they dont have fibonacci extention.

MetaTrader 5 is the Best Trading Platform

5.0 last year

Comments: The hustle and bustle to run around to buy and sell or working hard to earn extra income is overcome by MetaTrader 5 by ensuring you to make money from anywhere anytime. Forex trading is indeed a rewarding market to which MetaTrader 5 becomes the interface between the trader and the various forex markets.

Pros:

Instant Execution and Swaping are impressive and it is very easy to use in any computers like android phones, apple phones, laptops, desktops and tablets. I am a trader so the most reliable software or trading platform I have found in my daily and weekly trading is MetaTrader 5. It helps me a lot in my trading business.

Cons:

The only feature that needs to be consistent with all the computers is the adjustment for take profit and stop loss executions. In a desktop the stop loss and take profit targets can be manually adjusted but the same is not found in the androids and tablets. Hence, when you are not trading using the desktop, and maybe when you are mobile, it is little bit difficult to manually adjust the take profit and stop loss targets. Hence, the tendency to making a loss is there.

Great and simple platform for trading derivatives.

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: MetraTrader 5 makes trading so simple and easy to do provided you already have the knowledge to trade the money and capital markets. I enjoy trading on MetraTrader 5 so much as it makes my trading of CFDs so easy unlike other complex trading platforms.

Pros:

MetraTrader 5 has a very simple and easy to understand user interface. As a result it makes trading on the platform very easy. I personally trade forex and other Contract For Difference (CFD) derivatives such as NAS100, US30, S&P 500 and synthetic indices on the platform.

Cons:

Since MetraTrader 5 isn't an institutional trading platform it lacks certain security features that institutional platforms provide. As a result a lot of scammers tend to take screenshots of fake demo profits to lure unsuspecting people into investing with them and they end up losing their money to these scammers.

Trading stocks made easier

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: The platform is eligible for usage worldwide, giving investing opportunities to anyone. The platform operates on a couple of devices like Windows, iOS and Android. This variety helps potential investors start small and grow their way up. They offer indicators and robots, which serve to make trading easier. This platform is open to big institutions as well as individuals.

Pros:

Withdrawal of profits is the easiest and convenient process. In South Africa our global bank is FNB and after a successful trade the funds are loaded directly to your account, saving you the hassle of transfering to a medium international account then to FNB. Traders benefit from the growing and falling exchange rates against each other. MetaTrader 5 is legit and offers brokers who help you with spreads. Also a little bit of training is provided for new users as guidance.

Cons:

The platform already has a lot of users, and support or assistance enquiry may take forever. I do consider calling my broker but the network in different countries may get in the way. But that is the best option so far.

Great and professional trading platform

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall, I would recommend Metatrader 5 to experienced traders who are looking for a powerful and customizable platform. However, beginners may want to consider other options that are more user-friendly.

Pros:

I have been using Metatrader 5 for both stock and currency trading, and overall, it has been a positive experience. The platform offers a wide range of features and tools, and there are many free and paid add-ons available to customize it to your needs. I particularly like the ability to use automated trading strategies and to access historical data for backtesting. The platform is also available on multiple devices, including desktop and mobile, which is convenient for trading on the go.

Cons:

One issue I have encountered is that sometimes I am not confident that the data being displayed is up to date, which can affect the accuracy of my trades. Additionally, while there are many third-party add-ons available, I am concerned about the security of these applications and whether Metatrader ensures their safety. Finally, the platform can be somewhat difficult to use, particularly for beginners, and it may take some time to get used to its interface and features.

Best For Trading

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: It is an amazing software, easy to use!

Pros:

I have used the metatrader5 for quite some time now, and it is a very user friendly software. The fact that I am able to view my trading history on the charts is so amazing. Opening pending orders, modifying TP and SL by simply dragging and dropping. How amazing!

Cons:

The one thing I did not like much about the MT5, especially on the mobile phone is that I am unable to modify my TP and SL easily when I am holding the mobile phone on the landscape position!

Comments: Financial and asset analysis before making financial decisions.

Pros:

The charts display and the different icons directing one to the usage sections

Cons:

MT5 review

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: The overall experience of the software is acceptable, there is no bugs or delays on price delivery and data. The only problem I have is unavailable data prior to 2012 and easy access feature of swiping left on a quote to access the chart.

Pros:

MT5 has an even more extended range of tradeable quotes such as crypto-currencies added giving me more options on tradeable quotes.

Cons:

The software is quite complex compared to the previous version MT4. Some of the easily accessible features like swiping left on a quote to view the chart is not available on MT5. Charts on my mobile device can't load data prior 2012 and my analysis on charts would sometimes disappear when I re-open on the chart until I had to set it manually on settings.

MetaTrader5 Review by Thevisionarycreation

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: My overall experience is that I am able to make profit whenever possible, wherever I go I can open a trade any day without hesitation knowing my money is safe and secured. I can easily withdraw anytime I wish to and the fees are not bad like other platforms.

Pros:

I mostly liked the accessibility in regards to the technology behind such a brilliant platform. I can access MT5 via PC and mobile on the go. Easy to use.

Cons:

To be honest I like the platform and I I don't see any problems with it besides awareness to be used by more people.
