IG offers multiple platform choices. Its proprietary IG Trading Platform is web-based and mobile-friendly, known for advanced charting, integrated Reuters news, and trading signals. Many professionals favor it for research integration. In addition, IG provides MetaTrader 4 (MT4), allowing use of Expert Advisors and custom indicators. However, IG does not support MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Traders specifically seeking MT5 would need to consider alternatives. IG also offers ProRealTime, a sophisticated charting and automated strategy platform. This variety of platforms reflects IG’s aim to serve both retail traders and advanced users. By supporting MT4 alongside its own solution, IG balances accessibility with proprietary innovation. This flexibility is a key competitive advantage over brokers that restrict clients to one option
