What's in MT5
Built-in indicators
Moving averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku and the rest of the standard set come installed. You can add custom indicators written in MQL5, your own or from the MQL5 Market.
21 timeframes
From one minute (M1) to one month (MN1). You can open several charts of the same symbol on different timeframes side by side.
Expert Advisors (MQL5)
An Expert Advisor is a program that places trades for you. You can write your own in MQL5, buy or rent one from the MQL5 Market, or install one you already have. It only trades while MT5 is running.
One-click trading
With one-click trading on, an order goes to the server as soon as you click Buy or Sell, with no confirmation window, so a mis-click opens a real position. You turn it on or off in Tools > Options > Trade.
Depth of Market
Shows the prices and volumes quoted above and below the current price. It is not available on every symbol.
Strategy Tester
Test an Expert Advisor on historical data, optimise its inputs, and check the result on a forward period you hold back. How much price history is available depends on the symbol.
Several markets, one account
Forex, metals, energy, indices, shares and crypto, all traded as CFDs from the same MT5 login.
Mobile apps
The iOS and Android apps have charts, order entry and account history. They cannot run Expert Advisors.
Questions about MT5
What is MetaTrader 5?+
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a trading platform made by MetaQuotes and used by many brokers. It has charts and indicators, one-click trading and automated trading through Expert Advisors. At NAMH Global you use it to trade forex, metals, energy, indices, shares and crypto as CFDs. MetaTrader is a trademark of MetaQuotes.
Is MT5 free on NAMH Global?+
Yes. There is no charge for the platform on any account: ECN, Pro, Standard, Cent or demo. You pay the spread on every account, plus $5 per standard lot, round turn on ECN. Positions held overnight may also pay or earn swap.
How do I install MT5?+
On a computer, download MT5 for Windows or macOS from this page. On a phone, install MetaTrader 5 from the App Store or Google Play. Then search for our server and log in with the MT5 login and password for your NAMH Global account, live or demo. WebTrader runs in a browser, so it needs no install.
Can I use Expert Advisors on NAMH?+
Yes, on every account type. You can run Expert Advisors written in MQL5. An EA only trades while MT5 is running, so it needs a computer that stays on: your own, or a VPS you arrange yourself.
Does MT5 support backtesting?+
Yes. The Strategy Tester in desktop MT5 tests Expert Advisors on historical data for any symbol, timeframe and date range. The "Every tick based on real ticks" mode uses recorded tick prices, so it reflects spread changes more closely than the other modes. How much history our server holds depends on the symbol.
What's the difference between MT5 desktop, web and mobile?+
Desktop MT5 for Windows and macOS is the only version that runs Expert Advisors, and the only one with the Strategy Tester and the MQL5 code editor. WebTrader runs in a browser and covers charts, order entry and account history. The iOS and Android apps are for checking prices and managing trades away from your desk. Your positions, orders and history are the same on all three.
