What trading platforms does Pepperstone offer in the UK?
UK clients get the same line-up as everyone else: TradingView, MetaTrader 5, MetaTrader 4, cTrader, Pepperstone's own web platform and its mobile app. The UK entity, Pepperstone Limited (FCA FRN 684312), also offers spread betting. A trader in Dubai sees the same platform names, but the entity in the client agreement can change what is available, so confirm your platform during sign-up.
If you already know which platform you want, you can open a Pepperstone account and choose it when you set up the login.

does pepperstone support mt5
Yes. Pepperstone supports MetaTrader 5 alongside MetaTrader 4. You can run Expert Advisors written for MT5, and you can open a demo on MT5 to check symbols and order types before going live.
If you are moving from another MT5 broker, check two things on the demo: the exact symbol names your Expert Advisor expects, and the contract size for gold and indices. Our guide to the best MT5 brokers explains what else to test.
Is Pepperstone better for MT4, MT5, or TradingView users?
Pepperstone suits all three, because it supports all three. The better question is which one suits you. Start from your habits, not from the broker.
Which Pepperstone platform fits which trader
| If you mainly… | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Run an old Expert Advisor | MetaTrader 4 | Your code keeps working without a rewrite |
| Build new automated strategies | MetaTrader 5 | Newer platform with more timeframes |
| Read charts and set price alerts | TradingView | Detailed charts, trade from the chart |
| Trade by hand with Razor pricing | cTrader | Clear depth of market and order ticket |
| Check trades away from your desk | Pepperstone app | Built by the broker for its own accounts |
Is Pepperstone a good cTrader broker?
Yes, and among the three brokers we rank, it is the one whose cTrader support we have confirmed. cTrader shows market depth clearly, which matters most when your cost is a raw spread plus commission. That makes it a natural match for Pepperstone's Razor account.
cTrader automation uses its own system, so an MT4 or MT5 Expert Advisor will not run on it. If you depend on an EA, stay on MetaTrader. For a wider look, read our guide to the best cTrader brokers.
