Most seasoned traders are satisfied with a trading platform that’s reliable and user friendly. The main reason behind MetaQuotes developing MT5 was to enable access to markets unavailable on MT4, including major stock markets. Therefore, MT4 is great for the decentralised foreign exchange market.

Traders who want to explore different markets and demand access to additional timeframes, however, may find the MT5 platform to be the better alternative. Some traders choose to remain with MT4 due to algorithmic trading strategies having been coded with MQL4, which, of course, are not compatible with MQL5.
