I'm confused about MetaTrader, is it a broker, or is it an application?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Good question.
MetaTrader or MT is basically a platform to make trades, it's a software. You have the version 4 or the version 5. Most of the globe uses version 4
MT4 is not only to make trades, you can also use indicators and check the assets charts on it, it's awesome.
99% of the brokers are compatible with metatrader, once you create your account on a broker, they will give you a Metatrader account linked to your funds.
hope it helps buddy cheers
