How to download and set up MT5 on iOS
-
Install MetaTrader 5 from the App Store
On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, search for MetaTrader 5, and install the official app by MetaQuotes Software Corp. It's free.
-
Open an account with a regulated broker
If you don't have one, open an account — a free demo is fine — with a regulated broker that offers MT5. They give you a login number, password, and server name.
-
Find your broker's server in the app
Open the app, go to manage accounts, search for your broker's name, and select the correct server from the list.
-
Log in and start trading
Enter your login number and password to connect. You can now chart, analyse, and place trades across forex and other markets from your iPhone or iPad.
If MT5 isn't in your App Store
App Store availability for MetaTrader apps has varied by region. If you can't find MetaTrader 5 in your country's store, open your broker's MT5 WebTrader in Safari — it runs in the browser with nothing to install — or follow your broker's official iOS guidance. Only ever use links from your broker's real website.

Frequently asked questions
How do I download MT5 for iPhone?
Open the App Store, search for MetaTrader 5, and install the official MetaQuotes app — it's free. Then log in with the login number, password, and server from a broker that offers MT5. Your broker's download link points to the same App Store app.
Why can't I find MT5 in the App Store?
App Store availability for MetaTrader apps has varied by region over the years. If MT5 isn't listed in your country's store, use your broker's MT5 WebTrader in Safari instead — it runs in the browser with nothing to install — or follow your broker's official guidance for iOS.
Is the MT5 iOS app free?
Yes. The MetaTrader 5 app for iPhone and iPad is free to download and use. You only need a funded broker account to trade live; a demo account is free and uses virtual money.
Can I run Expert Advisors on MT5 for iOS?
No. The iOS app is for charting and manual trading — it can't run Expert Advisors or custom indicators. Those need the Windows desktop terminal (or a VPS). Use the app as a companion to monitor and place trades.
Does MT5 work on iPad?
Yes. The same MetaTrader 5 iOS app runs on iPad and makes good use of the larger screen for charting. Log in with the same account you use elsewhere and it stays in sync.
