What to compare
MT5 is a software platform; the broker determines the instruments, contract sizes, commissions and execution environment. Ask whether an account uses hedging or netting and whether a chosen expert adviser is supported.
Limits of the published information
Century’s education page mentions MT5; Pepperstone’s UAE-facing account page lists it among several platforms. Those are published feature observations, not independent platform tests or confirmations of every customer’s eligibility.
Inclusion requires the exact platform name in the captured account-platform field, a source and a capture date. These are dated feature claims, not confirmation that every UAE applicant or account qualifies.
MT4, MT5, MQ WebTraderThe UAE account page lists MT4, MT5 and MQ WebTrader for Standard and Premier; Classic lists MT5 and MQ WebTrader. This is broker-published availability, not independent testing or account eligibility.
These previously selected research candidates do not have the required field evidence. Their omission from the table is not a finding that the feature is unavailable.
Netting or hedging changes the meaning of an opposite order
MetaTrader’s documentation says the broker sets the account’s netting or hedging system. Two accounts displaying MT5 can therefore behave differently when an opposite trade is submitted. Ask for the actual account mode rather than assigning one mode to the brand.
In a netting demo, a 0.02-lot buy followed by a 0.01-lot sell leaves 0.01 lots net long. A hedging account can retain separate positions instead. Test the close-position action and statement output in the intended mode. This is a platform-mechanics exercise, not a live trade instruction.
