MT5 Prop Firms
ForRealFunding runs entirely on MetaTrader 5 — forex, gold and metals, indices, energies and select crypto, with EAs allowed (no HFT) and mobile trading. This page lists the prop firms that fund MT5 accounts and compares them, and covers how MT5 stacks up against cTrader, TradingView and MatchTrader firms.
Who this matters for
- Traders who already run MT5 indicators, EAs, or a VPS setup and don't want to rebuild on another platform
- Anyone comparing a firm's instrument list, since MT5 firms typically publish the fullest symbol list
- Traders who value one platform across every account stage rather than switching at funded status
