Which forex trading app is best in Malaysia?

The best forex trading app in Malaysia among these nineteen brokers is the Pepperstone mobile app, which runs on iOS and Android. I recommend it because Pepperstone has the top global score on this page at 93.5, and it also states MT4, MT5, TradingView, and cTrader among its platforms if you would rather trade a platform app. IC Markets follows at 89 with the IC mobile app and IC Social, which it calls “a social trading app”. Trade Nation names TradeCopier as its copy trading app, and it is available only with MT4. If you trade from an iPhone, note that IG Group’s own app is stated for Android only, with a mobile web platform for iOS.

Twelve of the nineteen brokers here also offer MetaTrader 4, and you can compare all twelve on our MetaTrader 4 brokers in Malaysia page.

The brokers on this page take Malaysian residents through companies licensed outside Malaysia, not by Malaysian regulators. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) said on 12 July 2024: “Forex trading, except those that are carried out with banks licensed by BNM, is illegal!” The quote comes from BNM’s statement of 12 July 2024.

FAQs

How do broker-built apps differ from the MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView apps?
Thirteen of the nineteen name an app of their own: the Pepperstone mobile app, the IC mobile app, ThinkMarkets' ThinkTrader app, and ten more. The other six, TabTrade, MultiBank Group, Fintrix Markets, Purple Trading, Global Prime, and ATC Brokers, are listed with third-party platform apps only: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, or TradingView. Twelve of the nineteen here offer MetaTrader 4, so I would compare brokers first and app names second.
Do the apps on this page run on iPhone and Android?
Yes, with one exception. Eighteen of the nineteen name mobile apps for both iOS and Android, among them the Pepperstone mobile app and the MT5 mobile apps at ATC Brokers, which cover iPhone, iPad, and Android. IG Group is the exception: its own app is stated for Android only, and it offers a mobile web platform for iOS.
Can you copy trade from a mobile app?
Yes, three brokers here say so. Pepperstone states that its copy trading is "available on mobile and desktop". IC Markets offers IC Social, which it calls "a social trading app". Fintrix Markets states that MT4, MT5, and Social Trading are "accessible through desktop, mobile apps and mobile devices", and its Fintrix Social Trading is copy trading on MT5. Other brokers here offer copy trading tools as well: Trade Nation names TradeCopier as its copy trading app, available only with MT4, eToro offers CopyTrader, and Hantec Markets offers Hantec Social.
Which brokers here also offer MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 on mobile?
Ten of the nineteen name MT4 or MT5 mobile apps: IC Markets, TabTrade, MultiBank Group, Fintrix Markets, Trade Nation, CMC Markets, Hantec Markets, Purple Trading, Global Prime, and ATC Brokers. Twelve offer MetaTrader 4 in total, among them Pepperstone, ThinkMarkets, IG Group, and FOREX.com, which list MT4 among their platforms.
What should I check in a forex trading app before choosing one?
Check whether the broker names its own app or only third-party platform apps, whether that app runs on your phone, iOS or Android, and which platforms the broker states alongside it, such as MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView. The side-by-side table lists the company that takes Malaysian residents at each broker, which I would read before signing up anywhere.
