If you are thinking about migrating away from MT4 - MT5 and would like to start using the cTrader trading platform, then this page will help you move across as easily as possible. More and more traders are now migrating to use the cTrader platform for its clean user interface, excellent features and the use of Microsofts C# programming language to built automated strategies, indicators and extend the functionality of the platform with AddOns.
The main difference is that MT4 and MT5 use their own in-house programming language which can be used only with their own platform which is called MetaQuotes Language 4 (MQL4) which first appeared in 2005, so it is pretty old technology now. It is also worth pointing out that MQL4 and MQL5 were written specifically for work on the MT4 and MT5 trading platform and is not a well know programming language like Microsoft C#.
A major benefit of using Microsoft C# with cTrader over MQ4 with MetaTrader is the development environment, with a Microsoft programming language you can edit the code using Microsoft Visual Studio which is not only free but a professional industry standard piece of software. The Microsoft C# programming language is very powerful and will allow you to think out of the box and accomplish practically anything.
