Hi Khaled, we do not support MT5 on our accounts, but you can download MT4 from the following link: https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/platforms/mt4/where-can-i-download-and-install-mt4

Is meta trader 5 roadmapped to be supported by IG? Would be great is you could as meta trader 5 allows for browser access rather than software so I can get it on my Mac. Thanks.

 can IG support metatrader 4_5??

[Guest Vik]

We absolutely need  Metatrader 5 for IG. And thank you for offering your business in US. 

[Guest Visitor]

Metatrader 5 is a must have for me.

As long as IG don't support MT5 i will not change my Trading Provider.

So is there any timeline for MT5?

Thanks for your post. 

It is an area we are actively looking. We aim to deliver a high quality offering and so will be dedicating time into researching best practice for MT5. If all goes well we could see something later this year but with the amount of moving parts to this it may be too early to say.

We don't have a deadline date for this but a team are working on this and I can update when I have an approximate date. 

[Guest Justin]

MT4 has all kinds of bugs, with historical data and testing, so MT5 is a must.  This time, please do not brand MT5 with IG. I hate it when business do this! Just give us grown-ups instructions on how to hook up our favourite products.  Thanks.

[Jeff89]

Hope to see MT5 soon, the EA I am using only works with MT5, forcing me to use another broker for that

I've created an account type forex-sgd for IG-DEMO on metatrader, everything works well on the desktop version but when I logged in to my phone, i can't trade (trade option missing). I have already add symbol C-Forex-SG as instructed but the trade option still did not appear. Appreciate an advice. Thank you.

[Guest apro]

with MT4 no longer supported with Mac Catalina, MT% support is very much high priority i wud suggest :)

[Straddles]

When is IG moving up to MT5? All other brokers I use to work with is on MT5. 

[BjornTrading]

Also eagerly looking forward for MT5 at IG Markets

[lneely]

Good with MT4 despite its quirks, but would be happy for MT5 support as well.  Thanks!

[Guest Michael]

Also would love to see MT5 support. Can't switch to IG as main broker as long as Mt5 is not supported.

I agree.

I'd like to use mt5 on Mac and Linux

[Guest Brett]

I second, third and.....support for MT5.  I would love to bring my account over to IG if they had MT5 support.  I hope they can get it up and running soon.

[Guest sss]

We need MT5 asap

[B123]

Strongly in favour of MT5.

[Guest Hero]

When is IG going to start offering MT5 on its platform? IG must consider this very seriously  because clients are switching to MT5 now from MT4. I even know clients who are leaving or reducing their trading activities with IG because the company doesn’t offer MT5. IG has to quickly embrace  and adapt to new technological changes if the company want to exist in trading in the long run

[Guest MikeM]

Yeah MT5 is super important for me. MT4 is so slow backtesting and placing trades. What is the status of IG supporting MT5 in 2021?

[psilocybe]

Hello IG! Any updates on MetaTrader5 integration
Is it part of your roadmap, or is it sitting at the back of the backlog?

[Kam303]

@CharlotteIG Do you have an approximate date for MT5 now? Thank you in advance. 

[Guest kevin]

still looking forward to the mt5 of ig in 2021

Unfortunately not. I've spoken to the team dealing with this and as soon as I have an update I will let you know. 

All the best
