MT5 Brokers — What We Verified, and What We Have Not

MetaTrader 5 is not simply a newer MT4: it routes different asset classes, handles hedging differently, and a broker can offer one without the other. Which of them a broker runs is a platform fact our hub does not send yet.

So this page publishes what we did check — the licence trail per record, read from the regulator's register — and marks the platform rows as written-in examples of the column, describing the data shape rather than any named broker.

Trading CFDs carries a high risk of losing money. Nothing on this page is advice to open an account with any firm.

Broker records we publish

Ordered by the traderpublic desk score on each record. Records our desk has not scored are not ranked here.

This order is our published desk score, which covers the broker overall. It is NOT an MT5 ranking: no platform fact here has been checked per broker, so nothing on this page compares one broker's MT5 offering with another's.

What an MT5 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 The platform rows are written-in illustrations of the column, labelled as such; the rest is named as unpublished rather than left blank.

Frequently asked questions

Is MT5 always better than MT4?

No. MT5 covers more asset classes and different order handling, but many strategies and tools were written for MT4 and do not transfer. Neither is a verdict, which is part of why we do not rank brokers on it.

Why are some rows marked as written in?

Because the platform field has not shipped. Rather than leave a suggestive blank we show the shape of the column and label it, so the gap is visible instead of implied.
