Broker to Trading

It also offers other markets in addition to Forex pairs, for a total of 100+. MT4 enables the trader to use and build automated trading strategies.

What markets are available ?

Forex, Indices, Energy, Metals and Soft Commodities for a total of 110+.

What is City Index's minimum deposit ?

There is a minimum deposit requirement of £100 to open an MT4 account at City Index UK or $150 elsewhere.

What is the most striking feature of City Index MT4 ?

Arguably, the number of Forex pairs, as 80+ is a relatively large offering. For an MT4 platform, 110+ is a competitive total number of markets (also notable is the inclusion of markets such as Soft Commodities). MT4 can be seen in the context of City Index's other platform, which offer less Forex pairs, but many more markets. So MT4 at City Index can be seen as its Forex focused trading platform (though they are available on the other platforms as well). However MT4 brings other advantages as well.

What does MT4 offer the trader ?

MT4 is a platform with charting, markets and trading tools. These tools include Expert Advisors, which are automated trading strategies (for example automated trading rules based on indicators). These are available to use, provided by other traders, but can also be programmed by the trader. These strategies can be backtested on MT4 (using the Strategy Tester tool on the platform). It should be noted that because a strategy worked in the past does not mean it will work in the future. MT4 has 50+ technical indicators available (and more can be added as well as custom indicators created). MT4 can be used as a discretionary trading platform, as well as as for automated trading.

Does City Index have a commission charge for trading Forex on MT4 ?

City Index does not charge commissions for trading on MT4. It provides tight variable Forex spreads, which can go as low as 0.5 for EUR/USD.

Has City Index won any MT4 Forex awards ?
