Platform DNA

Shared foundation.Different depth.

Both platforms support charting, orders and automation. The differences become clearer when the workflow becomes more analytical or testing-intensive.

01Which MetaTrader platform does RockGlobal recommend?

RockGlobal recommends MT5 for new users because it provides more timeframes, pending-order types and built-in indicators, together with a more advanced Strategy Tester. MT4 remains available for established MT4 and MQL4 workflows.

02Can I use MT4 and MT5 on mobile?

Yes. RockGlobal supports compatible MT4 and MT5 applications on iOS and Android. Mobile users can review charts, monitor accounts and place or manage orders. Expert Advisor development and strategy testing remain desktop workflows.

03Does RockGlobal offer WebTrader or a native Mac application?

Not currently. RockGlobal supports Windows desktop and compatible iOS and Android applications. A separately installed Windows environment may provide a route on compatible Mac hardware, but compatibility and performance are not guaranteed.

04Can I move an MT4 account directly to MT5?

Not automatically. MT4 and MT5 use separate account and programming environments. Access credentials, open positions, Expert Advisors, indicators and templates may require separate setup, recreation or redevelopment.

05Do MT4 Expert Advisors work on MT5?

MQL4 Expert Advisors do not run natively as MQL5 applications. A strategy normally requires technical review, adaptation and testing before it can be used in MT5.

06Can I trade the same markets on both platforms?

Many core RockGlobal products may be available on both platforms. Exact instruments, symbols, hours, leverage and account access follow the current product schedule and platform route.
