JustMarkets MT5: how it differs from MT4
What actually decides the choice, and how the platform is chosen for each trading account.
Start trading →MetaTrader 5 is the newer of the two platforms JustMarkets offers, alongside MetaTrader 4, its own app and WebTrader. For most people the choice matters less than it appears: what actually decides it is which instruments you intend to trade and the fact that a trading account is created for one platform and cannot simply be moved to the other. ringgitfxdesk.com is an independent review site and is not operated by JustMarkets. The button on this page opens an account with FxPro, a different broker.
MT5 at a glance
- The decision is set by instrument coverage and existing habit, not by feature lists.
- Instruments listed across forex, indices, commodities, stocks and crypto — coverage per platform is set by the broker.
- An account is created for one platform and cannot be used on the other.
- Switching platform means opening another trading account, not reinstalling software.
MT4 vs MT5: what actually differs for your choice
Feature lists are not a decision. The practical differences are which instruments are available on each platform at this broker and the tooling you already use. Without an existing MT4 setup, the choice comes down to the instruments you need and the terminal you find easier to work with.
JustMarkets lists instruments across forex, metals, indices, commodities, stock CFDs and crypto CFDs. Which of those are reachable from each platform is set by the broker, so confirm coverage for the specific instrument you care about before opening the account rather than after.
Why your account is tied to one platform
A trading account is created for a platform. Logging into the other terminal with the same credentials does not work, because the account does not exist there — this is the most common reason a login is refused right after someone switches platform.
Changing platform in practice means opening another trading account in the client area and funding it, not reinstalling software. That is worth knowing before the first deposit rather than after it.
