Best MT4 Brokers In UAE

Pepperstone impressed us with minimal spreads, averaging just 0.1 pips for EUR/USD in the Razor account. The MetaTrader 4 platform, favoured by Pepperstone, offers versatile tools like Expert Advisors for automation and custom indicators creation.

Third-party tools, such as Smart Trader Tools and Figaro by FX Blue, enhance your MT4 experience with suites of EAs and indicators. If you are seeking automated trading without coding expertise, Capitalise provides a user-friendly solution.

With its fast execution speeds, competitive spreads and excellent trading tools, we think Pepperstone has the best MT4 trading environment in the UAE. We have highlighted our testing results for all three major factors below.

FAST EXECUTION SPEEDS USING MT4

We tested the execution speeds of 20 top brokers using the MetaTrader 4 trading platform and Pepperstone came out as the fastest UAE-regulated broker overall. Using limit and market orders, we found Pepperstone had an execution speed of 77 milliseconds for limit orders and 100 milliseconds for market orders, placing it third overall and number 1 in the UAE.

With fast execution speeds using MT4, we found Pepperstone was able to reduce our slippage costs and ensure smoother trading execution with less lag time between order placement and execution.

COMPETITIVE MT4 SPREADS

Both of Pepperstone’s two main retail investor account types offer competitive spreads. From our analysis, Pepperstone offers low spreads of 1.12 pips on its Standard account (commission-free) and 0.1 pips on its Razor (commissions of $3.50 per side) account for the EUR/USD.

When we tested both accounts using MT4, we found Pepperstone was one of the most competitive in the UAE, averaging 1.46 pips on the Standard account and 0.36 pips on its Razor account the 5 major currency pairs. This put it third, just behind Fusion Markets and IC Markets who both had marginally tighter spreads overall.

As highlighted below, we’ve shown how Pepperstone’s Razor spreads compare favourably to other brokers in the UAE.

EXCELLENT METATRADER 4 (MT4) TRADING TOOLS

As the gold standard of retail forex trading platforms, Pepperstone offers a supreme MT4 trading experience with charting tools (including 34 technical indicators), EAs (for algorithmic trading) and backtesting functionality.

Where Pepperstone stands out, however, is in its additional 28 technical indicators and Expert Advisors via the broker’s Smart Trader Tool add-ons. When testing, we particularly enjoyed using the Pivot Point tool which gave us a quick overview of where the resistance and support levels were and helped us set effective take profit and stop loss orders.

Pepperstone also offers a great diversity of standalone platforms (cTrader, TradingView and MetaTrader 5) and auto trading/copytrading tools (Autochartist, DupliTrade, and Myfxbook).

Pepperstone ReviewVisit Pepperstone

Our take on AvaTrade is that it’s a great broker with a range of trading platforms and financial marketplaces. The extensive educational materials also make it suitable for beginners.

You’ll have a choice of four trading platforms:

• AvaTrade WebTrader
• AvaTradeGO
• MetaTrader 4
• MetaTrader 5

While all these platforms have their merits, we would personally use MT4 as you’ll get the most out of AvaTrade’s MLQ5 trading signals service by using it.

FULL INTEGRATION OF MQL5 TRADING SIGNALS SERVICE

While AvaTrade offers a good range of third-party platforms and proprietary platforms, to make the most out of the MLQ5 Trading Signals service, we recommend using MT4 from our testing.

MQL5 Trading Signals gives you access to one of the largest automated trading communities worldwide, which can be fully integrated with MT4, allowing you to manually trade and copy trade from a single trading platform.

To link your AvaTrade MT4 account with the trading signals service, you can sign up at MQL5.com or on the broker’s website.

Once you are set up with MQL5 and MT4, you can easily find signal providers to copy based on criteria such as past performance and risk. We particularly liked how effortlessly we could find trading systems and forex signals to copy via the MT4 signals tab, while the community tab gave us access to a huge network of forex traders.

STABLE FIXED SPREAD MT4 TRADING

As a fixed spread broker, AvaTrade offers stable spreads to keep your trading costs consistently low. From our testing using MT4, we found the broker averaged spreads of 0.9 pips for EUR/USD. As a result, AvaTrade offers the lowest spreads compared to other fixed-spread brokers in the UAE like HYCM and FxPro.
