Open EC Markets Account →EC Markets offers MetaTrader 5 for Windows, Mac/web and mobile, working across the STD, ECN and PRO accounts.

Getting EC Markets MT5 and what it adds
- MT5 is available for Windows PC, Mac (or web), and as iOS and Android apps; log in with the trading account number, password and EC Markets server.
- MT5 works across all EC Markets account types (STD, ECN, PRO) and covers forex, metals, energies, indices and cryptocurrency CFDs.
- Compared with MT4, MT5 adds more timeframes, more built-in indicators, an economic calendar and depth-of-market (DOM) pricing.
- Both platforms support automated strategies; MT5 uses the MQL5 language, while MT4 uses MQL4, so an Expert Advisor built for one is not directly portable to the other.
- A free demo account lets traders test MT5 with virtual funds before committing real capital.
- Trading forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all invested capital due to leverage. Most retail investor accounts lose money. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
