In the fast-paced world of online trading, the quality and functionality of your trading platform can be the difference between capitalizing on an opportunity and missing out. JustMarkets understands this fundamental truth, which is why it offers a robust suite of trading platforms designed to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of its global clientele. Far from a one-size-fits-all approach, JustMarkets provides access to the industry-standard MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), alongside its intuitive proprietary JustMarkets App, ensuring traders have powerful tools at their fingertips, whether they are at their desk or on the move.
The Gold Standard: MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
For over a decade, MetaTrader 4 (MT4) has reigned supreme as the most popular trading platform in the retail forex industry. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity, reliability, and comprehensive features, making it a go-to choice for millions of traders worldwide. JustMarkets proudly supports MT4, allowing its clients to leverage this powerful terminal.
Key Features of MT4 on JustMarkets:
- User-Friendly Interface: MT4 is renowned for its intuitive and easily navigable interface, making it accessible even for those new to trading. Its clean layout ensures that essential functions are readily available.
- Advanced Charting Tools: Traders using MT4 with JustMarkets gain access to sophisticated charting capabilities. This includes multiple chart types, various timeframes (from minutes to months), and a wide range of drawing tools for technical analysis.
- Extensive Technical Indicators: MT4 comes pre-loaded with over 30 built-in technical indicators, such as Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. These tools help traders identify trends, predict price movements, and make informed trading decisions.
- Expert Advisors (EAs) and Algorithmic Trading: One of MT4’s most significant advantages is its support for Expert Advisors. Traders can develop, backtest, and deploy automated trading strategies using the MQL4 programming language. JustMarkets ensures a stable environment for EA operation, including potential VPS hosting options to maintain continuous trading without manual intervention.
- Customization: The platform is highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor layouts, create profiles, and save templates to suit their individual analytical and trading workflows.

For many forex-focused traders, MT4 provides all the necessary functionality in a lightweight and stable package, making it an excellent choice for consistent performance with JustMarkets.
The Next Evolution: MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
While MT4 remains incredibly popular, MetaTrader 5 (MT5) represents the next generation of trading platforms from MetaQuotes Software. JustMarkets offers MT5 to its clients, providing enhanced functionality and broader market access, particularly beneficial for those looking to diversify beyond traditional forex.
Advantages of MT5 with JustMarkets:
- Multi-Asset Trading: Unlike MT4, which is primarily focused on forex, MT5 is a true multi-asset platform. With JustMarkets, this means traders can access a wider range of CFDs, including not only forex, commodities, and indices but also stocks and cryptocurrencies, all from a single platform.
- More Timeframes: MT5 boasts a significantly expanded selection of timeframes (21 compared to MT4’s 9), offering traders more granular control over their chart analysis and enabling a deeper understanding of market dynamics.
- Enhanced Technical Analysis Tools: MT5 includes more built-in technical indicators (38) and graphical objects (44) than MT4, providing even more advanced options for market analysis. It also allows for the overlaying of indicators, enabling more complex analytical approaches.
- Integrated Economic Calendar: A standout feature of MT5 is its integrated economic calendar, which provides real-time updates on key economic events and indicators. This allows traders to conduct fundamental analysis directly within the platform, without needing external resources.
- Depth of Market (DOM): MT5 offers a Depth of Market window, which displays the best bid and ask prices at different liquidity levels. This feature is invaluable for understanding market liquidity and potential price movements, especially for scalpers and high-volume traders.
- Advanced Order Types: MT5 supports a wider array of pending order types, providing traders with more flexibility in managing their positions.
- Improved Strategy Tester: MT5’s multi-threaded Strategy Tester is significantly faster and more efficient for backtesting Expert Advisors, allowing for more robust algorithmic trading development.
For traders seeking more advanced analytical tools, broader market access, and superior backtesting capabilities, MT5 on JustMarkets offers a powerful and comprehensive trading solution.
