Metatrader 4 (MT4)

METATRADER 5 (MT5)

MT5 — combines simple interface of its predecessor with a number of new features covering the needs of both technical and fundamental traders; a wide range of chart timeframes, indicators and graphical objects for more profound technical analysis.

MT5 was released in 2010, five years after the release of MT4 and at a time when MT4 was already exceptionally well known, and due to the number arrangement in the platform names, there's a common misunderstanding that Metatrader 5 was a modern progressed version of Metatrader 4, designed to do the same work way better. This is not really true at all, in spite of the fact that it may be a trading platform and backtesting machine just as MT4 is, and the graphical user interfacing look and feel similar. Any satisfactory Metatrader review ought to point this out.
