Frequently asked questions
MT4 or MT5 — which should I pick?
If your EAs and indicators depend on MT4's community, stay on MT4. MT5 adds assets, history and order types but is not backward-compatible.
Can I run automated strategies on these brokers?
Yes — MT4 supports Expert Advisors. Many of these brokers also offer VPS hosting near their servers to cut latency for EAs.
Are MT4 accounts separate from MT5?
Usually yes. A broker's MT4 and MT5 servers are typically separate accounts, so check which one your strategy targets.
