MT5: for clients who have outgrown MT4
MetaTrader 5 is the multi-asset upgrade. More order types, better backtesting, a built-in economic calendar, and support for hedging and netting accounts. If your referrals trade more than just forex, this is the one.
What your referrals get on MT5
Multi-asset trading
Forex, stocks, indices, commodities, crypto. All from one platform, one account.
Hedging and netting modes
Clients pick their account model. Hedging for multiple positions on the same instrument. Netting for a single aggregate position.
MQL5 and Expert Advisors
More powerful than MQL4. Faster execution, more data types, and access to the MetaTrader marketplace for off-the-shelf EAs.
Market depth
Level 2 pricing. Clients see order book depth and can place orders directly from the DOM window.
Multi-threaded backtesting
The strategy tester runs on multiple cores. Test EAs against historical data faster, across multiple instruments at once.
Built-in economic calendar
No external news feeds needed. Market-moving events show up in the platform with impact ratings and forecast data.
Trading conditions
Spreads on major pairs
Instruments
Leverage (region-dependent)
No dealing desk
Negative balance protection
The PAMM system runs on MT5
If you refer money managers, MT5 is where their PAMM accounts live. Automated percentage-based allocation, performance fee settlement, and investor reporting all run natively on the MT5 infrastructure.
Money managers get the full MT5 toolkit — multi-asset trading, Expert Advisors, multi-threaded backtesting — combined with institutional-grade PAMM management. Their investors see live performance data and automated allocation.
What this means for your commissions
MT5 attracts a specific type of trader: experienced, trading multiple asset classes, often running automated strategies. These are high-volume clients. High volume means higher commissions.
The PAMM system runs on MT5 too. If you refer money managers, this is the platform they will use.
Your partner portal tracks MT5 accounts the same as any other platform. Volumes, commissions, client activity. All in one place no matter what your referrals trade on.
Experienced traders want MT5. They trade more, and you earn more.
Multi-asset coverage, algorithmic trading, and institutional-grade tools attract the high-volume clients that drive your commissions.
