Platform checklist
Before choosing a broker for MT4 or MT5
- Does the broker support your preferred platform?
- Is demo available on the same platform?
- Are forex pairs and gold/XAUUSD available?
- Which account types can be used with MT4 or MT5?
- Are conditions different by platform or country?
- Does the broker provide desktop, web and mobile access?
MT4 vs MT5
Which platform path should you check first?
MT5 may fit users who want a newer platform and broader tools where available. MT4 may still fit users who prefer the older forex-focused ecosystem. Always check the broker current platform terms before opening or funding an account.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should I check before opening a forex or CFD broker account?
Check country availability, platform access, account type, demo account, instruments, trading cost factors, withdrawal terms and risk warnings before registering.
Should I use a demo account before trading live?
A demo account can help test platform setup, order placement and symbol availability before live trading. It does not guarantee live results or remove market risk.
Why compare setup factors before choosing where to continue?
An independent comparison page can organize account, platform, market and risk checks before you continue to a broker sign-up page.
