Best Brokers That Support Copy Trading with MT5

As a trader who’s tested dozens of platforms over the years, I can tell you — not all brokers are built the same.
Especially when it comes to copy trading and using MetaTrader 5 (MT5), the experience can vary dramatically.

Some brokers offer beautiful dashboards but poor execution speed. Others have MT5 but don’t support third-party automation. And a few don’t even allow expert advisors (EAs) to function fully.

In this article, I’ll walk you through what truly matters when choosing an MT5 broker for copy trading — and which platforms deliver both reliability and real results.

 

Why Choose MT5 for Copy Trading?

MT5 isn’t just the next version of MT4 — it’s a more advanced, faster, and more flexible platform that supports:

•         Multi-asset trading (FX, stocks, indices, crypto, commodities)

•         Faster order execution and depth-of-market (DOM) data

•         Native support for algorithmic trading and expert advisors

•         Better backtesting and optimization tools

•         Enhanced copy trading infrastructure and integration

For traders using automated systems or copying signals from professionals, MT5 provides a much more powerful and scalable trading environment.

 

What to Look for in an MT5 Copy Trading Broker

 

Before jumping into the broker list, let’s cover what makes a broker suitable for copy trading with MT5:

•         Full MT5 Support: Not all brokers implement the full features of MT5 (some limit assets or tools)

•         Regulated and Transparent: Look for brokers with strong licenses and clear client protection policies

•         Low Latency Execution: Copy trades need to execute in real-time without lag

•         Open to Automation: You need the ability to use EAs, signals, or third-party systems like SMARTT

•         Reliable Withdrawals and Local Payment Options: Especially important for traders in emerging markets

Let’s now go through some of the best options available in 2025.
