There are a lot of alternative for metatrader but from many functions that metatrader has it is the best for overall score and one more thing that metatrader is agnostic platform. It is not propetriary but not for one broker it is for any broker who want to use their service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myregister Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Actually there are many replacement including its predecessor which is MT5, but i don't know why people still want to be with MT4. Ctrader seems nice and developed well but overall Metatrader offers what retail traders like me need, from one click trading to robot trading which require some set of define rules.

pepy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Metatrader become defacto right now it is hard to replace it, as far as i know MT4 is the most popular for sure following by its brother MT5 which i think should be able to replace metatrader 4 but i don't know why it can't until now.

pepy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yes it is a defacto plaform in online foreign exchange trading, well there are few platforms that trying to compete with metatrader but it seems it wouldn't be so long after it. MetaTrader also offers many feature that make us easy to trade this one helps newbies to overcome the situation, and it supported margin trading.

pepy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Talking aboout Metatrader, as we know metatrader divide by 2 version right now first is defacto platform for a lot of brokers around the world MT4. The second one is Mt5 newborn(not really new) but still take slow adoption to many brokers especially since MQL4 has been upgraded to do object oriented programming.

myregister Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It becomes slower compared to MT4 thanks to MQL4 which has been redesigned so people don't have to switch to MQL5 which only own by MT5. MT4 is stable and of course will be better rather than MT5 which is relatively new and has some bugs which maybe doesn't solve by MetaQuote's programmer yet.

pepy Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've been wondering for quite long time why metatrader is one of the most popular trading platform compared to the other and what i find out is metatrader has nice feature and for the very first reason is easy to use, it is user friendly which doesn't like the other platform which consist of so many buttons that make us confuse what to do with that.

Easy to use or user friendly, people can make their robot and integrate it to the platform in very easy way, not to mention Metatrader has a lot of indicators especially for their 4th iteration of product. One thing that make metatrader popular is a lot of broker supported it and even created a tailor made for other operating system such as OSX.

One thing that make metatrader popular is a lot of broker supported it and even created a tailor made for other operating system such as OSX. It is only because it is useful and user-friendly plus broker from over the world already use it as the main platform for trading, before it wasn't but thanks to big adoption people stick with it for some years and create a lot of useful indicators, not to mention the company also has good support for it.

myregister Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 That is why this one is useful because it is user-friendly and also a lot of people still use meta trader because as we know that corporation especially for finance banking is harder to switch to newer generation, just for example atm bank use windows xp as its own operating system which already outdated. Glad that meta trader company still update meta trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Then many people use this platform isn't it? This is pretty simple to me. Metatrader is one of those good platform out there many people just don't want to taste more because metatrader already give what they are deserve to get, in my own opinion metatrader become de facto platform for foreign exchnage trading thanks to those brokers from regulated to bucketshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myregister Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 So you mean they are stuck with one platform just because that platform in this case metatrader just work? This is like financial business it just works mental. But nothing to be afraid as far as i know some big traders use their own favourite platform, and metatrader in this case is useful for many retail traders while those big one usually use propetriary platform.

pepy Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes, they just stuck with it because of just works mental, but actually nothing wrong as long as it is work and also the way that platform works is fair. Metatrader is one of the defacto platform because this platform works well and you can easily trade in foreign exchange without much problem.

Metatrader is one of the defacto platform because this platform works well and you can easily trade in foreign exchange without much problem. Why for someone to have "just work" mental? It is saving time, and also if your proprietary platform proven to be more secure, faster and have more option to deal with foreign exchange trading i think that is not a big deal. Some proprietary platform preferred because of their unique feature which it has and has better performance too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I know but it means you may feel comfortable with what you have now and then don't or reclutant to adapt the new technology that may change or make our trading better. I know we may afraid of the risk but forex itself is risky. By the way meta trader is doing good now, metatrader become successful like now because of its agnostic platform, but i wonder why they don't accept linux and osx yet.

But to save the time we need just work, adapting to the new technology is fine but if you spend much more time to install the environment or to make yourself familiar with the data and commands inside of your terminal, will that work? That surely work but consume much of your time and it is not efficient way to change from metatrader terminal to for example ctrader but if ctrader is easy enough then metatrader would be left alone.

pepy Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 So you mean we are saving the time by doing something like that? If that is the case i don't have any disagreement and nothing to argue with you. Yes, the movement cost a lot and someone need to remind it, if they must switch from one platform to the other make sure that the next platform is better in long term and has less pain cost to switch.

myregister Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Meta trader so far is the best platform, not just because of its performance and because it is easy to use but because it is platform agnostic. Any kind of broker could use it and even modify if they have an agreement with meta trader. To create Expert Advisor is also easy here and the indicator is plentiful so people don't have much worry about technical analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
