Greetings!

Do the benefits of using MT5 (mainly for me; more time frames, improved charting) out way the fact that most sophisticated indicators (that ive seen on this forum) are till now only available for MT4? Basically; should someone who mainly benefits from improved indicators switch back to MT4 since the availability of said indicators out way any improvements that MT5 can give me(market depth, more timeframes, a little better charting)? :eh:

Open to feedback of any type

For beginners entering into trading for the first time, which platform has suitable indicators MT4 or MT5?

MT5 is definitely much better. Better execution of trades, more indicators, much more efficient EA tests ... in short, MT5 is a nice evolution of MT4. However, I remained at my good old MT4. When we have known him for years, it is difficult to part with him. And then I code everything on MT4.

Bye! ;)

I think, MT4 platform is the best not only for beginners, but for experienced traders too.

MT5 is better because it is the advanced version of MT4. It has additional trading features as compared to MT4. It has more timeframes and more indicators than MT4. I believe beginners should start with the advanced version.
