What they liked
Extremely stable — I have never had it crash mid-trade.
What to improve
Learning MQL5 is a real time investment.
Overall
Rock solid platform once you are past the learning curve. The EA ecosystem is the main reason I stay.
What they liked
Multi-asset support and depth of market are useful upgrades over MT4.
What to improve
Charting is far behind TradingView and custom objects are fiddly.
Overall
I trade on MT5 but chart on TradingView. Works, but it should not be necessary.
What they liked
The strategy tester with real tick data is still unmatched for EA work.
What to improve
The UI looks like it belongs to 2010.
Overall
If you automate, MT5 is hard to avoid. Everything I need is there, it just is not pretty.
What they liked
Execution has been reliable and support actually reads your messages before replying.
What to improve
The dashboard could surface key stats a little faster on mobile.
Overall
MetaTrader 5 has been dependable across the last year — no surprises, which is exactly what I want from a service like this.
What they liked
Onboarding was quick and the pricing is transparent — no hidden fees so far.
What to improve
Would love more educational material for newer traders.
Overall
Solid first few months with MetaTrader 5. Everything worked as advertised and the value is there.
What they liked
Good value for the money once you have it set up the way you want.
What to improve
The setup instructions assume you already know the basics.
Overall
MetaTrader 5 does what it promises, though the learning curve caught me out at first.
What they liked
Consistent over a long stretch and the team keeps shipping improvements.
What to improve
Pricing tiers could be clearer at the higher volumes.
Overall
I have tried most of the alternatives and keep coming back to MetaTrader 5.
