Pros and Cons
The MetaTrader 4 as well as the upcoming 5th version are designed to be user-friendly. Yet, they have a very professional purpose. Furthermore, it is considered a highly flexible trading platform.
It has the power to enable all aspects of trading quite easily and efficiently. This software offers support in many different languages.
It seems to be one that has a positive report within the trading community as well. Some people have found it quite reliable. However, it may not be for everyone.
Consumer Responses
Consumers confirm that it is very easy to use. Non-advanced investors and traders can even use it. However, one user mentioned not receiving any support from the broker or developer. On the contrary, another user mentions not having any problems at all.
In spite of not a total 100% satisfaction rating, this product seems to work well overall. The discrepancies in users may be in using the beta tested version versus the live full version.
