MT4: still the default for forex
Most of the retail forex world still runs on MetaTrader 4. Traders know it, their EAs run on it, and their indicators work on it. We host MT4 on dedicated infrastructure with the same execution quality as everything else we offer.
Why your referrals will ask for MT4
The industry default
MT4 has been the go-to retail forex platform for over a decade. It is not going anywhere.
Expert Advisors
Automated trading through MQL4. Thousands of free and commercial EAs are available. If your referrals already have a strategy, it almost certainly runs on MT4.
Custom indicators
Build or download them in MQL4. The developer community is massive, and there is an indicator for almost anything.
One-click execution
Trade from charts with a single click. Stop loss and take profit attach on entry.
Lightweight
MT4 uses fewer resources than most modern platforms. Runs fine on older hardware and lower-spec machines.
Mobile
MT4 for iOS and Android. Manage positions, check charts, get alerts wherever.
Trading conditions
Spreads on major forex pairs
Forex, indices, commodities, crypto
Leverage (region-dependent)
No dealing desk
Negative balance protection
Where MT4 dominates
MT4 has disproportionate market share in specific regions. If your referrals are in these markets, MT4 is almost certainly what they know.
MENA
The Middle East and North Africa runs on MT4. Arabic-language EAs, local payment integrations, and a trader base that has been on MT4 for over a decade.
Southeast Asia
Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia. MT4 is the default retail platform. Copy trading communities and IB networks are built around it.
Africa
South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya. MT4's lightweight footprint works well on lower-spec hardware and mobile-first trading environments.
Eastern Europe
A strong MQL4 developer community and deep EA culture. Traders here build and sell automated strategies — all on MT4.
Why this matters for you
A lot of your referrals are already on MT4. They do not want to relearn a platform. They want to bring their EAs and keep doing what they are doing. Referring them to ThinkMarkets MT4 removes the friction of switching brokers.
MT4 traders are loyal. Once they have their charts set up, their indicators loaded, and their automations running, they do not move. That is good for you. Recurring commissions from clients who stay.
Your partner portal tracks everything the same way whether clients are on MT4, MT5, or ThinkTrader. One dashboard, one view.
