TradingView
TradingView is a powerful charting and market analysis platform used by traders of all levels. It offers clean, fast, highly customizable charts across stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities. Smart alerts and a huge library of indicators help you stay on top of key levels without watching the screen all day. With a strong community and Pine Script for custom tools, it is easy to turn ideas into a repeatable trading workflow.
FTMO MetaTrader 5
FTMO MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is the modern evolution of MT4, built for traders who want more power, more precision, and more room to scale. While it was adopted more gradually than MT4 in the retail trading space, MT5 has become a strong choice for systematic and algorithmic traders thanks to features such as Depth of Market (DOM), six pending order types (including stop-limit orders), and a multi-threaded Strategy Tester designed to speed up backtesting and optimisation.
