MetaTrader4, referred to as MT4, is an international third-party foreign exchange trading software. It is neither a trader nor a trading platform, but a trading software. The premise of using MT4 is that the trader has paid the right to use MT4. When a trader buys the right to use MT4, he will have his own server in MT4 trading software for investors to use. At present, 90% investors in the world are trading with this trading software.
Therefore, MT4 is not a trading platform, but an international third-party futures foreign exchange trading software. The safety of investors' funds has nothing to do with MT4, but is related to whether traders are subject to formal supervision.
In addition, you can't open an account directly on MT4. MT4 is an international trading software. If you want to use MT4 to trade foreign futures and foreign exchange, you need to find a regular foreign trader platform and register an account in official website, which will generate the trading account number, server and password of MT4. Download MT4 at this time and log in.
