The mobile version of MT5, available for both iOS and Android, is perfect for traders who need flexibility and mobility. While it doesn’t have the full range of features found on the desktop, it still supports multi-asset trading across forex, stocks, commodities, indices, and crypto. Traders can view real-time quotes, use 30 technical indicators, and execute trades quickly on-the-go. However, charting tools and customization options are more limited compared to the desktop version. The mobile app is ideal for monitoring trades and making fast decisions while away from the computer.

The desktop version of MT5 is the most comprehensive, providing traders with full access to advanced trading tools, expert advisors (EAs), and algorithmic trading. It offers superior charting features, with multiple chart types, up to 100 charts simultaneously, over 80 technical indicators, and advanced order types like pending and limit orders. The desktop platform also allows for custom indicators and scripts, making it the best option for those who want in-depth technical analysis, algorithmic trading, or backtesting strategies.

The web terminal allows users to trade directly from any web browser without installing software. It offers a user-friendly interface, multi-asset trading, and secure access to trading accounts. The web terminal supports all basic order types, includes real-time quotes, and has integrated charting tools, though it lacks some of the more advanced features available on the desktop version (e.g., custom indicators, algorithmic trading, and advanced charting options). It is perfect for traders who need quick access to their accounts from any device without software downloads.
