Deriv MT4 — Why It Doesn't Exist (and What to Use)
Deriv has never offered MetaTrader 4. Its MetaTrader platform is Deriv MT5 — here is what that means if you searched for a Deriv MT4 download.
Open Deriv Account →Deriv does not offer MetaTrader 4 — its only MetaTrader platform is Deriv MT5. If you searched for a Deriv MT4 download, the accurate answer is that no such platform exists: EAs, custom indicators and one-click trading all live on Deriv MT5 (MQL5). Anything advertised as 'Deriv MT4' is a third-party product and should be treated with caution.
Deriv and MetaTrader: the facts
- Deriv offers MetaTrader 5 only — there is no Deriv MT4 server or download
- Deriv MT5 supports EAs (MQL5), custom indicators and one-click trading — the features MT4 users rely on
- MT5 adds 21 timeframes, 38 indicators, more pending-order types and a built-in economic calendar
- MQL4 EAs do not run on MT5 — they must be rewritten or replaced with MQL5 versions
- Treat any third-party 'Deriv MT4 download' with caution: it is not a Deriv product
