FAQS
Frequently asked questions.
Should I use MT4 or MT5 in 2025? I'm a beginner.
Use MT5. Unless you have specific old EAs that only work on MT4, there's no reason to start with an outdated platform. MT5 has more timeframes (21 vs 9), faster backtesting, better tools, and ongoing updates. MT4 is legacy software that will eventually be discontinued. Learn MT5 now and future-proof your skills. The learning curve is nearly identical, so you're not saving time by starting with MT4.
Why do so many traders still use MT4 if MT5 is better?
Two main reasons: (1) Legacy Expert Advisors - traders have old EAs coded in MQL4 that would need expensive conversion to MQL5, and (2) Habit - people learned MT4 years ago and resist change even though they admit MT5 is technically superior. It's not that MT4 is better—it's that switching costs (time, money, relearning) keep people stuck. If you're starting fresh, this doesn't apply to you.
Is MT5 really 10x faster for backtesting or is that marketing?
It's real. MT5 uses multi-core processing while MT4 is single-core only. On an 8-core CPU, MT5 uses all 8 cores while MT4 maxes out one core and ignores the rest. Real-world example from Reddit: backtesting 10 years of data took 45 minutes on MT4, same test finished in 6 minutes on MT5. If you do any serious strategy testing, this is a massive time-saver.
Can I use my MT4 indicators and EAs on MT5?
No, not directly—MQL4 and MQL5 are different programming languages. However, most popular indicators have already been converted by the community (check MQL5 Market and Code Base for free versions). If you have custom private EAs, you'll need to hire a developer to convert them, typically costing $100-$500 depending on complexity. If your strategy depends on a proprietary EA that's impossible to convert, stay on MT4. Otherwise, switch and find equivalent tools.
Is the MT5 mobile app actually good or just a gimmick?
Reddit traders are surprisingly enthusiastic about it. Multiple users say they plan trades on desktop but execute on mobile because the app is faster and more intuitive for quick entries. You get full charting, all indicators, one-click trading, and push notifications. It's not a replacement for desktop analysis with multiple charts open, but for execution and monitoring, many traders actually prefer it over desktop.
Does MT5 use way more computer resources than MT4?
Slightly, but it's irrelevant on modern computers. MT5 uses maybe 200MB more RAM (700MB vs 500MB) on a system with 8-16GB RAM. Unless you're running a very old computer from 2010, you won't notice any performance issues. The performance gains (faster charting, better backtesting, smoother interface) far outweigh the trivial resource increase. This "MT5 is resource-heavy" complaint is outdated information from 2015.
Can MT5 actually trade stocks and futures or just forex?
MT5 the platform supports stocks, futures, indices, commodities, and CFDs. Whether YOU can trade them depends on what your broker offers through MT5. Some brokers only provide forex even on MT5, which defeats the multi-asset advantage. Check with your broker what instruments are available. If supported, yes, you can trade actual stocks and futures from the same platform as forex—no need for multiple applications.
Is it worth switching from MT4 to MT5 if I'm already profitable?
Depends on your trading style: Discretionary traders (manual analysis, occasional trades, no EAs) get marginal benefit—you can stay on MT4 for now. Algo traders or EA users should switch immediately—the backtesting speed alone is worth it. Multi-asset traders need MT5. Learning traders should absolutely start with MT5. Bottom line: MT4 still works but it's a dead-end platform. MT5 is the future. Switch when convenient, but don't invest more time learning outdated MT4 features.
