Software and apps

Charting, research libraries, add-ons, copiers, journals, calendars, mobile apps, hosting and AI connectors used around FX trading. Trading platforms themselves stay in the platforms directory.

What MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView are each for is set out in the platform guide.

Clear

Open source is used only for a licence approved by the Open Source Initiative. Source-available means the source is public under another licence. Where an app plugs into a platform in the directory, the detail page links across.

The glossary defines FIX, MCP, backtesting and a trading VPS.
