What is MetaTrader 5?
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a widely used electronic trading platform developed by MetaQuotes. Traders use it to analyze markets, place and manage orders, and run automated strategies through brokers that offer MT5 connectivity.
Unlike a broker or exchange, MT5 is the software environment where trading happens — providing charts, order types, risk tools, and support for Expert Advisors (EAs) and custom indicators. Many systematic traders run MT5 on a dedicated VPS so strategies can operate continuously with stable connectivity.
Altri Capital works within the MetaTrader ecosystem — developing and licensing Expert Advisors, supporting automated trading workflows, and providing infrastructure designed for reliable, around-the-clock operation.
