MetaTrader at Pepperstone
Pepperstone clients have access to two industry-renowned trading platforms, MT4 and MT5. The two platforms, released in 2004 and 2010 respectively, have set the bar for retail securities and derivatives trading and have held their status for over a decade. Integrating easy-to-use interfaces with a range of charting, analysis, and risk management tools, it’s easy to understand why.
MetaTrader 4 can be used directly from a web browser or downloaded onto Windows and Mac computers. The platform is accessible for automated traders, with support for EAs and strategy backtesting. Additionally, MT4 users can customize a range of charts and indicators, access strong levels of data history and implement advanced social and copy trading functionalities offered by Pepperstone.

MetaTrader 5, MT4’s younger brother, provides all this functionality alongside better-developed multi-asset trading, deeper market functions, and more charting, analysis, and order types.
MT5 also boasts upgraded underlying software, with better memory management reducing the chance of crashing and more efficient protocols speeding up order executions.
