The world's most-used forex trading platform
MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the de facto industry-standard forex platform from MetaQuotes — used by millions of traders worldwide. Its strength is depth: a massive library of free indicators and Expert Advisors (automated trading scripts), a mature MQL4 scripting language, and connectivity to virtually every major broker.
