While25 is software. It is not a broker, dealer, exchange or investment adviser, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument. Orders you place route to your own brokerage account; While25 never holds funds or securities.

Trading carries risk of loss, including losses greater than your deposit on leveraged products. Backtests and simulations do not predict future returns. Broker and exchange names are trademarks of their owners. We plan to add Coinbase, Binance and Robinhood; you cannot connect them yet.

COMPARISON

While25 vs MetaTrader 5, for traders leaving MQL behind.

MetaTrader is the default terminal of the forex world, and MQL5 has powered a generation of expert advisors. But MQL is its own language, the Python route is an external bridge bolted onto a running Windows terminal, and the platform belongs to whichever broker white-labels it. While25 puts Python inside the platform, and keeps it yours.

WHILE25METATRADER 5
ScriptingPython, a real Python 3.12 process with a code editor, files and a console, inside the platform.MQL5, a proprietary C-like language for EAs and indicators.
PythonNative: your strategies, indicators, monitors and dashboards are Python.An official package exists, but as an external bridge to the running terminal, not a workspace inside it.
Your filesYour own folders; drag in CSV, Excel, Parquet or PDF and read them from scripts.MQL projects inside the platform’s data directory.
LibrariesNumPy, pandas, scikit-learn and more from the marketplace.MQL5 libraries; Python libraries only outside the terminal.
PlatformsMac and Windows desktop.Windows-first, with web and mobile viewers.
BrokersBroker-agnostic: IBKR, Alpaca, Zerodha, Upstox, or request yours.Whichever broker licenses MetaTrader; the platform is often the broker’s white-label.
InstrumentsInstrument-agnostic: if your account can trade it, While25 can trade it.Forex and CFDs first; exchange-traded coverage depends on the broker.

WHERE METATRADER 5 WINS

Forex ubiquityNearly every forex and CFD broker on earth offers it, so you can move between brokers with less work than on any other platform.
EA ecosystemAn enormous market of expert advisors, signals and MQL5 freelancers.
LongevityTwenty years of muscle memory for millions of traders.

If your world is a forex broker’s MetaTrader and MQL5 does the job, it will keep doing it. If you would rather write the same ideas in Python, with real libraries, your own files, and a platform that is not a broker’s white-label, While25 is that platform.
