FAQ

Can I run Expert Advisors (EAs) on a funded MT5 prop account?

Most MT5 prop firms allow EAs but forbid latency, tick-scalping, HFT and copy-trading bots. Always check the firm's rulebook — a compliant EA at one firm can be an instant breach at another.

Is MT5 better than MT4 for prop trading?

Yes for new accounts: MT5 has a faster order engine, native economic calendar, more timeframes and better hedging/netting flexibility. MT4 support is being phased out across the industry — pick MT5 unless you have legacy MQL4 EAs you can't migrate.

Which broker feeds do prop firms use for MT5?

Most firms run MT5 on a white-label of a licensed broker (Purple Trading, ThinkMarkets, Eightcap and Match-Trade are common). Spreads and swaps therefore vary firm-to-firm even on the same platform.

Does MT5 work on Mac?

There's no native macOS build. Prop traders use Parallels/CrossOver, a Windows VPS or the firm's web terminal. Confirm your firm allows VPS execution before committing to that setup.
