When deciding on an account type, there are 3 main things you need to consider: the product(s) you wish to trade and trading conditions, execution type, and finally, the capabilities and features of the platform itself.
The key difference between MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader5 lies in the range of the CFD products that is available on each one. The MT5 platform gives you a chance to open positions on all of the 6 asset classes, whereas the MT4 doesn’t support Shares, and cTrader doesn’t support Shares and Futures.
Note that MetaTrader5 is a ‘netting’ platform by default. That means that trades are aggregated, and hedging is not possible, although we can provide a ‘hedging’ version of the platform on request.
In terms of cost, we charge a spread on all of our products, with FX spreads on the cTrader platform generally being much lower, but with a fixed commission fee. You can review any differences in fees/trading conditions across each platform on the instrument specifications page. Rollover and dividend charges may also apply: https://axes.co/documents/legal-documents
Advanced trading technology & deep liquidity access allows us to provide quality Market Execution, and maintain excellent execution statistics which are publicly available on our website: https://axes.co/pricing/model
We also offer the classic Instant Execution account type in conjunction with Metatrader 4 platform, with a fixed spread option available.
In terms of user-friendly potential, the MetaTrader range, including MT5 and MT4, is the classic go-to solution, while the Meta Trader 5 (developed by Meta Quotes) provides a larger range of modern features. As well as supporting advanced trading using mechanical systems such as cBots and EAs, technical indicators and external analysis, each type of account offers a desktop, web and mobile app, to meet all your trading needs.
Please also note that you can open more than one account type and experience the full range of features and trading conditions that Axes offers.
