MetaTrader 4 turns 21 this year, yet millions of retail Forex traders refuse to abandon it. Despite MT5’s 64-bit architecture, multi-threaded strategy backtesting, 21 timeframes, and native multi-asset capabilities, MT4 remains a dominant force in the retail trading space.
This thread explores why the legacy platform still holds a tight grip on the market. Is it the risk of rewriting years of proprietary MQL4 code? The ultra-low RAM footprint for running dozens of lightweight instances on a cheap VPS? Or simply muscle memory? Jump into the discussion to share whether your trading setup still relies on MT4, why you haven't switched to MT5 or cTrader, and whether sticking with legacy software gives you an edge or holds you back.
