MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) are the most popular forex trading platforms.
MT4 is widely used for forex and supports algorithmic trading through Expert Advisors (EAs).
MT5 supports more asset classes, has an economic calendar, and faster backtesting.
While MT4 is simpler and more accessible, MT5 is future-proof with additional tools.
Both platforms are free and support desktop, web, and mobile versions.
Your choice depends on your trading style and asset preferences.
Many brokers now offer both versions.
