The most popular foreign exchange trading platform in the world has to be Metatrader 4. The name might not sound impressive but this is the most wide spread platform available today. If you visit a foreign broker’s website, there is a good chance that they will at least offer a demo account via Metatrader 4 or MT4 as it is commonly known.
MT4 is an excellent platform because of its simplicity and versatility. The software will run on just about every kind of machine and even on many hand held devices.
This is great if you trade on the go or you use different computers and operating systems but still want to be able to use the one trading platform software. Another advantage of MT4 is that it comes bundled with the ability to code your own indicators and also expert assistants. These two features are typically only found in high end platforms, but it is available all for free in MT4.
