FAQ
Is MT5 an update on MT4?
No, although MT5 looks very similar to MT4, it is a completely different platform with additional features and benefits.

What type of computer do I need to run MT5?
While you can trade using MT5 on your mobile device, a computer may be easier for people that prefer using a mouse. You don't need a super fast or powerful computer or laptop to run MT5, but a laptop made recently that is not in the ultra-low price range for laptops should do the trick.
