MT4 Brokers — What We Verified, and What We Have Not, November 2026

Written by traderpublic research deskReviewed by traderpublic research deskFact-checked by traderpublic research deskRecords last updated

Editorial note: every figure on this page comes from the broker's hub record and names the source it was checked against (our methodology). Where nobody has checked a field we say "not published" rather than guess. Nothing here is investment advice (risk disclosure).

Brokers on this page (6 records with a published score)

MetaTrader 4 is the platform most retail FX traders learned on, and whether a broker offers it is a simple yes or no. Our research hub does not send a platform list yet, so we cannot answer that per broker without inventing it.

Checked: the licence trail per published record, read from each regulator's own register on the date shown, plus the perk and desk-score rows from our research desk. The MT4, deposit, spread, leverage, demo and copy-trading values are written in per broker and labelled as written-in - placeholders for fields our hub does not publish, not checked facts.

This order is our published desk score, which covers the broker overall. It is NOT an MT4 ranking: no platform fact on this page has been checked per broker, so nothing here says one broker's MT4 offering is better than another's.

Warning:

Leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carry a high level of risk. A large share of retail accounts lose money trading CFDs. Make sure you understand how they work and whether you can afford the risk.

What an MT4 page should tell you — and what we have not published

The licence row is verified. The platform rows are written-in illustrations of the column, labelled as such; the rest is named as unpublished rather than left blank.

Licences we checked ourselves

This is the part of the page that rests on evidence: each licence number was read from the regulator's own public register on the date shown.

What the trading platform actually is, and who supplies it

MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView are not brokers. They are software: a chart window, an order ticket and a connection to whichever firm holds your account. The same platform can sit in front of very different businesses, so knowing that a firm offers MT4 tells you nothing about how it executes your order or who regulates it.

This matters for a page like this one. A platform list is a list of software compatibility, not a list of quality. The part of this page that carries weight is the licence trail, because that is the part naming a regulator who can act against the firm.

MetaTrader 4
Released in 2005 and still the most widely deployed retail terminal. Four order types, nine timeframes, and the largest ecosystem of third-party indicators and automated strategies, written in MQL4.
MetaTrader 5
A separate product, not an upgrade path. More timeframes, an economic calendar, depth of market, and a different language (MQL5) that will not run MQL4 programs without a rewrite.
TradingView
Primarily a charting and analysis service that can connect to a broker for order entry. Charts and community scripts live in the browser; the account stays with the broker.

How to check a firm's platform access for yourself

The research hub publishes no per-broker platform field, so the values in the table above are written in and labelled as such. These steps let you establish the real answer in a few minutes, and they work for any firm, including ones not listed here.

  1. Open the firm's own platform page and note which terminals it names. If a platform is only mentioned in a blog post or a help article, treat that as unconfirmed.
  2. Check which account types carry it. Access is often limited to one account tier, and a demo account may offer a platform the live account does not.
  3. Open a demo and place a test order. A firm can be a listed MT5 partner while its own bridge is unavailable in your region.
  4. For TradingView, confirm the broker appears in TradingView's own broker list inside the chart window, not only on the broker's marketing page.
  5. Check the mobile app separately. Desktop access and mobile access are frequently not the same.

MT4 versus MT5: not an upgrade, a different product

The version numbers suggest a succession, and that is misleading. MT5 is a separate program with its own strategy language. An automated strategy or custom indicator written for MT4 will not run on MT5 without being rewritten, which is the single biggest reason MT4 is still in service two decades after release.

Reasons people stay on MT4

  • An enormous library of existing MQL4 indicators and automated strategies, much of it free
  • Lighter on older machines and on a slow connection
  • Familiar to anyone who has traded retail forex in the last fifteen years
  • Widest broker support, so moving firms rarely means relearning the terminal

Reasons people move to MT5

  • More timeframes, and depth-of-market data where the broker supplies it
  • A built-in economic calendar and an integrated strategy tester that handles multiple currencies
  • Exchange-traded instruments alongside forex and CFDs, where the firm offers them
  • MQL5 is a fuller language, and new third-party development has largely moved there

Can you trade on a platform without a broker?

No. The platform draws charts and sends instructions; it holds no money and is not a counterparty. Your order reaches a market through the firm that holds your account, which is also the firm that a regulator licenses and that owes you the protections attached to that licence.

That is why this page ranks firms rather than software, and why the licence rows are the rows we verified against a regulator's own register.

Automated strategies deserve particular care. A strategy bought from a third party is code you did not write, running against your live account, and past results shown in an advertisement are not evidence about the future. Test on a demo account long enough to see it handle a volatile session before you fund it.

Frequently asked questions

Why can you not tell me which brokers offer MT4?

Because our research hub does not publish a platform field yet, and we render only what it publishes. Copying a platform list off a broker's marketing page would be a claim we never checked.

What are the written-in rows for then?

They show the shape of the column this page will print once the field ships, so you can see what is coming and what is missing. They are marked as written-in and they never affect the order of the list.
