1. Open Brokers.
2. Choose a market category, or start with All Brokers.

The Brokers section is a broker directory.

It helps you browse brokers by market category, compare trading conditions, and open a broker page for more details.

You can use it to:

• explore brokers that support MetaTrader,
• compare services and trading conditions,
• choose a broker by market focus,
• open the broker’s page for more information.

The Brokers section includes categories such as:

• All Brokers
• Forex
• Stock
• Metals
• Commodities
• Futures
• Crypto
• Indices
• ETFs

These categories help you narrow the list depending on what you want to trade.

Start with the market you plan to trade most often:

• choose Forex for currency trading,
• choose Stock for equities,
• choose Metals for gold and silver instruments,
• choose Commodities for energy or agricultural markets,
• choose Crypto for cryptocurrency trading,
• choose Indices for index products,
• choose ETFs for exchange-traded funds,
• use All Brokers if you want to compare everything first.

If you trade more than one market, it may be useful to start with All Brokers and then compare supported asset classes on each broker page.

All Brokers shows the broadest list.

Category pages such as Forex, Stock, or Metals are more focused and help you compare brokers that are relevant for a specific market.

This is useful if you already know what you want to trade and do not want to review brokers that are outside your main interest.

Open the Brokers section, choose a category if needed, and click the broker you want to review.

A broker page is designed to give you a quick summary of that broker’s trading conditions and market coverage.

Depending on the broker, a broker page may show fields such as:

• Min. Deposit
• Min. Leverage
• Max. Leverage
• Min. Spread
• Min. Commission
• Withdrawal time
• Regulations
• supported markets or instruments

This helps you compare trading conditions before opening an account.

Min. Deposit is the minimum amount typically required to fund an account or start trading with that broker.

A lower minimum deposit may be more suitable for beginners, while larger accounts may focus more on spreads, commissions, and execution conditions.

Leverage shows how much market exposure you can control relative to your funds.

• Min. Leverage is the lower leverage level shown on the broker page.
• Max. Leverage is the highest leverage level shown for that broker.

Higher leverage can increase both potential profit and potential loss, so it should be used carefully.

Min. Spread is the smallest spread shown on the broker page.

Min. Commission is the lowest commission value shown for the broker.

These fields help you estimate trading costs, but actual costs can vary depending on the instrument, account type, market conditions, and your region.

Withdrawal usually refers to the broker’s stated withdrawal processing time or withdrawal conditions shown on the profile.

This can be useful if fast access to funds is important for you.

Regulations refers to the regulatory bodies or licenses shown on the broker page.

This helps you understand under which regulatory framework the broker operates.

You should still verify regulatory and legal details directly with the broker before opening an account.

A practical checklist:

1. Decide what you want to trade.
2. Open the matching broker category.
3. Compare trading conditions such as deposit, leverage, spread, and commission.
4. Review supported markets.
5. Check the broker’s regulation details.
6. Visit the broker directly before registering or funding an account.

Do not choose a broker based on one number alone. It is better to compare several conditions together.

No.

MetaQuotes Ltd states on broker pages that it is not a broker, does not offer brokerage services, and bears no responsibility for trading operations or fund withdrawals.

These actions are handled by the broker, not by MetaTrader.com.

This includes:

• account registration,
• KYC or identity verification,
• deposits,
• withdrawals,
• account approval,
• trading conditions specific to your account.

Broker conditions may differ depending on:

• account type,
• country or region,
• instrument,
• regulation entity,
• current market conditions.

Always confirm the final terms directly with the broker before opening or funding an account.

A simple workflow is:

1. Open the broker page.
2. Compare the main trading conditions.
3. Visit the broker directly.
4. Register and complete verification if required.
5. Get your login, password, and server details.
6. Sign in to MetaTrader 5 or MetaTrader 4.
