Quick Answer: What to Choose for Your Task
Choose an FxPro platform based on two criteria: compatibility with your account type and how comfortable the device is for you. Different account families support different platforms, so decide on the account first, then the terminal.
The official account and platform comparison is available at fxpro.com/trading-platforms/comparison. Details about each platform are on its page: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, FxPro WebTrader; TradingView integration is covered in the TradingView FAQ.

MetaTrader 4: When a Familiar Environment Matters More Than Novelty
FxPro lists desktop, browser, and mobile versions of MT4 on its official page. The browser version works without installing the desktop terminal, which is convenient for quick access. The desktop version offers MQL4 expert advisors and a strategy tester.
MT4 MultiTerminal is designed for managing positions across multiple accounts, not for charts or experts. Don't confuse it with the main terminal: its feature set is limited.
An MT4 account must be connected to the server that corresponds to it. Don't mix up your broker account passwords with your FxPro Direct credentials-they are different systems.
Account type matters: MT4 is not available for all account families. Check compatibility on the comparison page.
MetaTrader 5: A Separate Environment and a Different Accounting Mode
FxPro offers desktop, web, and mobile versions of MT5-details on the official page. It's not just an improved version of MT4: it has a separate account environment and a separate automation ecosystem. Before choosing, compare the available instruments, the position accounting mode (netting or hedging), and the compatibility of your strategies.
An expert advisor written for MT4 does not automatically become an expert advisor for MT5-this matters if you're porting ready-made logic. MT5 may not be suitable if the MQL4 environment is critical for you.
As with MT4, MT5 availability depends on the account type. Check the comparison table before registering.
cTrader: Market Depth, cTID and TradingView Connection
The current cTrader product page lists web version, Mac OS, Windows, iOS and Android, and describes Market Depth and cTrader ID. A separate old FAQ page states that there is no Mac version. this is a discrepancy between sources. Rely on the current product page and check the current download selector rather than copying an outdated statement from the FAQ.
The cTrader commission is described in the official comparison: 35 USD per 1 million USD of trading volume on Forex and metals. The calculation takes into account both sides of the trade. opening and closing. This is a reference figure from an official source, not a guarantee for your account.
The TradingView integration uses an FxPro cTrader account, according to the official FAQ. In TradingView you need to open the Trading Panel, select FxPro and connect a suitable account. According to the FAQ, only one FxPro cTrader account can be connected at a time; to change accounts you need to disconnect and reconnect. The broker connection is described as free; paid TradingView subscription features are counted separately.
WebTrader and Web Versions: Don't Confuse the Interfaces
FxPro's own web platform, described on the official page, provides browser access to FxPro MT4 and MT5 accounts with configurable layouts, chart windows, and widgets. This is a separate product, and it should not be confused with MT4/MT5 WebTrader or cTrader Web.
Each interface has its own credentials and its own login method. First clarify which family your account belongs to, and only then choose the web version. A comparison of account families is available at fxpro.com/trading-platforms/comparison.
Practical Check Before Registration
- Verify the contracting legal entity and service availability for your country-this affects all subsequent terms.
- Determine your account type (Standard, Raw+, Elite, cTrader) using the official comparison and match it to the platform you need.
- Check whether the platform supports your automation: MQL4 and MQL5 are not interchangeable.
- Check commissions and spreads according to the specific instrument's specification, not a general promotional statement.
- Make sure the login, server, and password belong to the correct system-Direct and trading account are different.
The Russian interface language does not confirm service availability in Russia; French and Spanish similarly do not guarantee operation in France or Spain. Country-specific terms remain unverified until checked against an official source.
