How the FxPro app, web platform and MetaTrader tools fit together
The FxPro app on phones and the browser option
On mobile, MetaTrader 4 is listed for iOS and Android, with dedicated apps for both systems. MetaTrader 5 also includes iOS and Android among its devices, while cTrader lists mobile next to Windows and web. FxPro Edge is listed for web and desktop, with no download required for its web version.
Browser access appears in different forms: MetaTrader 4 covers Mac through the browser, MetaTrader 5 lists web directly, and cTrader has a web version. Downloads for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are available from the FxPro Direct area after an account is opened. A free demo can be used first.
MetaTrader 4: automation and account types
MetaTrader 4 is offered on FxPro's Standard and Raw+ accounts. Standard pricing is an all-in spread, while Raw+ uses 0.0 pips plus commission. The terminal includes Expert Advisors for automated trading, one-click orders and custom indicators. Spanish is among the interface languages, together with English and others.
MT4 is listed for forex, indices, metals and energies. For shares CFDs, FxPro points traders to MT5. Device support covers Windows, web, iOS and Android, with Mac access through the browser.
MetaTrader 5: timeframes, depth and extra markets
MetaTrader 5 provides 21 timeframes, a built-in economic calendar and Depth of Market. It carries more order types than MT4 and adds shares CFDs to forex, indices and metals. MQL5 Expert Advisors are supported, and a strategy tester is included. The interface includes Spanish as well as English and other languages.
MT5 runs on Standard or raw pricing and is listed for Windows, web, iOS and Android. MT4 and MT5 use separate programming languages, so an Expert Advisor written for either terminal will not work on the other. Every platform the broker provides uses the same pricing engine.
cTrader and FxPro Edge in the platform list
cTrader uses a raw spread model starting from 0.0 pips, with commission. The platform comparison also notes Level-II pricing. FxPro Edge has spreads or commission that vary by market, and it is offered for web and desktop, with no download for the web route.
