Trade with MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

Any regulated broker that offers the MT4 software can be considered an MT4 broker – such as Capital.com! When you trade with us, you speculate on the price of underlying assets with CFDs, rather than owning them. This lets you take a position on rising and falling markets. CFDs are traded on margin, leverage can amplify both gains and losses.

No, MT4 is not a broker itself, but instead is a software suite that connects to a broker – like Capital.com – for trading.

MetaTrader 4 enhances your trading experience with real-time charts, live quotes, in-depth analytics and a range of order-management tools and indicators. It also allows you to automate your trading by applying algorithms that automatically open and close your trade positions in line with preset parameters.

MetaTrader 4 can be helpful for beginners due to its highly customisable, user-friendly interface. It also has a wide range of Smart Trader tools, add-ons, and indicators that could help you make more informed decisions. It can also be a good place to try automated, algorithmic trading.

Yes. Capital.com customers in countries registered under our ASIC, CySEC, SCA, FCA and SCB licences can use their live or demo CFD trading account on MetaTrader 4. This integration is not yet available for residents of France.
