MT4 vs. MT5 - Choosing the Right Trading Platform

MT4 vs MT5

MetaTrader 4 vs MetaTrader 5

Make an Informed Choice

The phenomenon of modern trading is taking the world by storm.

The bull market in the United States markets doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and traders around the world are jumping in with both feet rather than testing the waters first. The same can be said about the Forex market where traders are finding communities and using the power of group think to determine price movements.

As retail traders are looking for a broker to help them navigate these waters, a key point to consider is the trading platform being offered and the differences between the two that are most commonly available – MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

Security

When you put your hard earned money in a brokerage account, your expectation is that the funds are secure and that you’ll be able to execute your trades without the fear of excessive slippage. MetaTrader 4 integrates well with your broker and you can be certain that the exchange of information between the terminal and the servers is encrypted with 128-bit keys. The issue with MetaTrader 4 is the limitations in order entry and the fact that the industry is slowly moving towards MetaTrader 5. At Dominion Markets, MetaTrader 5 is the platform of choice for a variety of reasons and technological advancement is one of them.

MetaTrader 5

As the industry shifts to MetaTrader 5, it is important for you to understand why. So much of the benefits lie underneath the hood, and the best parts of MetaTrader 4 are also available with MetaTrader 5. Below are several reasons why MetaTrader 5 is Dominion Markets platform of choice.

Speed

No, this isn’t about execution speed. This is about how the platform and software affect the computer/device that you’re using. In the past, our computers were 32-bit systems and MetaTrader4 was originally designed for these types of devices. MetaTrader 5 is a full-fledged 64-bit platform with multi-threading for fast execution that doesn’t bloat your device and is optimized for resource allocation. As most devices being sold today are 64-bit, Dominion Markets is staying ahead of the curve to provide an exceptional trading experience to its clients.

Real-Time Volume Data

MetaTrader 5 provides very similar functionality to that of Level 2 when trading stocks, showing the amount of volume that is being traded so you as a trader can make more informed decisions based on the data that you see. Not only is this beneficial to the retail trader, it also shows you real time information about where price could be headed. Combine this with technical and fundamental analysis and you can see profitability potentially increase within weeks.
