XM MT5 —
More Power,
More Markets

MT5 is the upgraded version — more timeframes, more indicators, an economic calendar built right in, and access to stocks and futures alongside forex and CFDs. If you've outgrown MT4 or you're starting fresh, this is where serious traders end up.

What MT5 Adds That MT4 Doesn't Have

MT5 isn't a replacement for MT4 — it's a different platform built for a broader range of trading. Here's the real breakdown.

21 Timeframes. Every Trade Has Context.
More Timeframes

21 Timeframes. Every Trade Has Context.

MT4 gives you 9 timeframes. MT5 gives you 21 — from 1-minute to monthly, with M2, M3, M4, M6, M10, M12, H2, H3, H6, H8, and H12 added in between. That matters when you're doing multi-timeframe analysis and need the exact view you want without approximating.

  • 21 chart timeframes from M1 to MN
  • M2, M3, M6, M10, M12 not available in MT4
  • H2, H3, H6, H8, H12 intermediate timeframes
  • Consistent tick data across all periods
38 More Indicators Than MT4, Plus Depth of Market
Advanced Analysis

38 More Indicators Than MT4, Plus Depth of Market

MT5 ships with 80+ technical indicators and 44 analytical objects — significantly more than MT4's toolkit. Add the Depth of Market panel to see real buy/sell volumes, and use the built-in economic calendar without switching tabs. MQL5 supports object-oriented programming, too.

  • 80+ built-in indicators and tools
  • Depth of Market (DOM) panel
  • Built-in economic calendar
  • MQL5 OOP scripting language
Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures — One Platform
Multi-Asset

Forex, Stocks, Indices, Futures — One Platform

MT5 was built for multi-asset trading from the start. Unlike MT4 which was forex-first, MT5 handles equities, futures contracts, and exchange-traded instruments natively. If you want to trade US stocks CFDs, EU indices, and gold all in the same session, MT5 handles that without friction.

  • Forex, metals, energy, stocks, indices
  • Exchange-traded instruments support
  • 6 order types including Stop Limit
  • Partial order filling policies

MT4 vs MT5 — Side by Side

Both platforms are available on XM. Use this to figure out which fits your style.

You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading forex and CFDs involves significant risk. The value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may not receive back the amount you originally invested. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved before trading.
