MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a comprehensive and advanced trading platform serving as the successor to the widely popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4) trading platform for online retail foreign exchange (Forex) and contract for difference (CFD) trading.
Switching from MT4 to MT5 is a seamless process. For new VT Markets clients, filling in the form at the top of this page grants instant access to MT5. Existing VT Markets clients using the MT4 platform can log into their client portal to open an MT5 account effortlessly. It’s a straightforward process that ensures swift connectivity to VT Markets servers, allowing traders to stay connected on-the-go, 24/7, at no additional cost.
Trading on MT5 through your VT Markets account provides a distinctive advantage, offering lightning-fast execution, tight spreads, and enhanced charting capabilities compared to MT4. MT5 provides traders with the flexibility of unlimited charts on their watchlists, access to 21 available timeframes, and one-minute historical quote data for added trading flexibility. Additionally, MT5 features an in-built alert system, allowing traders to stay informed about crucial market events without relying on an external economic calendar.
VT Markets extends the MetaTrader experience to mobile platforms, providing official MetaQuotes mobile apps for seamless trading anytime, anywhere. These apps, compatible with both Apple and Android devices, offer real-time price viewing and enable traders to execute forex trades with the same ease as on their desktop MetaTrader platform. Manage open, close, amend, or cancel pending orders directly from your mobile phone, with balance and trade synchronisation across MetaTrader platforms for a hassle-free experience.
Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The use of leverage can significantly magnify gains and losses and may result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Prior to engaging in CFD trading, you should ensure that you fully understand the risks involved, carefully consider your investment objectives, financial situation, and level of experience, and seek independent advice where necessary. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please refer to our legal documents for a comprehensive overview of the risks associated with CFD trading.
