KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JustMarkets today published a 2026 trading platform guide, sharing insights into the ongoing discussion between MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). The guide aims to help CFD traders navigate platform selection, emphasizing that choosing between MT4 and MT5 may be less a purely technical matter than a strategic decision based on individual trading experience, strategies, and preferences.
While some traders continue using the same tool for years, others switch platforms over time to meet evolving needs. JustMarkets' insights outline the practical differences between the two platforms to assist traders in making informed decisions.
Trading Habits in Selecting a Platform
In day-to-day practice, selecting either MT4 or MT5 is more related to habits than to the provided features. It depends on the trader and their interaction with the market on a day-to-day basis, and on whether they want a platform that feels simple, fast, or analytical.
MT4 may be chosen by traders who have no desire to change a familiar setup. MT5 tends to be chosen by traders who work with many instruments and require an extended toolkit for analysis.
"Traders often ask us which platform is 'better,' but in practice the platform that works best is the one that aligns with your specific trading strategy and daily habits," a JustMarkets spokesperson noted.
How MT4 Differs from MT5 in Practice
MT4 focuses on a clean FX trading experience. It is generally lightweight, user-friendly, and quick, with no extra features to distract. This tends to suit traders who work with well-defined strategies.
MT5 offers a broader choice of tools for trading different assets with different strategies. The platform offers more financial instruments and more time frame options, along with advanced analytical tools.
It is the difference in traders' workflows that makes a difference in practice.
The factors influencing the decision between these two:
- does the trader trade just FX or a wider range of CFD assets;
- is the trading strategy simple or complex and analytical;
- does the trader value execution speed or analysis depth;
- does the setup require stability or flexibility.
A Combination of Tools by Real Traders
"In today's fast-paced markets, flexibility is important. We see a growing number of clients using the analytical depth of MT5 alongside the browser-based access of our Web Terminal," JustMarkets representatives shared.
Many traders today may not limit themselves to one single platform and prefer to work with both, depending on their strategy, prevailing market conditions, and the amount of analytics needed at a particular time.
Trading has also become more mobile, so traders do not always need to rely on a personal computer. Quick adaptation, flexibility, and control over one's positions are common parts of a trading routine.
For CFD traders, MT4 and MT5 remain the primary venues for analytics and trading, while the JustMarkets Web Terminal may allow traders to access the market through a browser, without installation or lengthy setup.
Conclusion
MT4 and MT5 need not be viewed as competitors. MT4 tends to remain easy to use and efficient, while MT5 tends to be more flexible and has a wider scope of application.
In 2026, the real decision is not about choosing one platform over the other, but about understanding how each tool may fit into a trading workflow — and how additional solutions like web-based entry may improve flexibility and responsiveness in real market conditions.

MT4 vs MT5 in 2026: Which Platform Actually Fits Your Trading Style?
Surviving a 500°C Return to Earth: DJI Osmo Action 6 Also Becomes First Consumer Camera to Capture POV Footage of a Rocket Launch and Recovery
SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announced the historic launch into space and reentry to Earth of the DJI Osmo Action 6 cameras. DJI's full ecosystem of imaging devices, including the upcoming Osmo 360 II, was used to establish an on-site filming network spanning from the sky to the ground.
During the successful launch and recovery of the reusable Zhuque-3 rocket by LandSpace, a privately owned commercial aerospace company, twelve DJI Osmo Action 6 cameras were mounted on the first-stage rocket body. This milestone marks the first time that a consumer-grade action camera has been used as a recording device for a space rocket's launch and recovery – without any special modifications. Not only did the Osmo Action 6 withstand extreme 500°C operating conditions to leave and return to Earth, but it also brought back extraordinarily valuable first-person footage – from ignition and liftoff, through the journey across the atmosphere, to landing and recovery.
Osmo Action 6 Launched Into Space Without Modifications
The Osmo Action 6 cameras were fixed at different critical positions on the first-stage rocket body, using a first-person perspective to document the entire launch and recovery process. The footage delivered a completely different view from previous one-way, space-perspective recordings. For the commercial spaceflight industry, where reusability is a key way to reduce costs, the high-fidelity native footage will help aerospace engineers review the recovery process, assess the rocket's first-stage body condition, and replicate successes.
Osmo Action 6 Survives Extreme Conditions in Space
Capturing this footage presented extraordinary challenges. During both ascent and return, aerodynamic heating raises the rocket body's surface temperature to roughly 400°C–500°C, while the engine and flight generate continuous high-frequency, high-intensity vibration. Even more challenging, passing through the atmosphere involves the "blackout zone" that causes a complete loss of external communication. Facing these extreme conditions, the DJI Osmo Action 6 demonstrated astonishing ruggedness for a mass-produced consumer camera. Not only did it "survive" thanks to its integrated high-strength structure, but its onboard direct-recording capability also overcame the communication limitations of the "blackout zone," ensuring all high-definition data returned to the ground completely intact.
Osmo Action 6 Captures Steady, Clean Footage
The Osmo Action 6's new-generation, ultra-powerful stabilization algorithm made it possible to "shoot steady," filtering out the image shake caused by the rocket body's high-frequency vibration without over-cropping the frame. Even during the launch's high g-loads and large maneuvers during first-stage attitude adjustments, the Osmo Action 6 delivered smooth and coherent footage while faithfully reproducing the details and attitude changes of the rocket's flight. It was also able to "shoot clear" in the extremely complex lighting conditions of space – a testament to its strength. Equipped with a 1/1.1-inch custom square large-format sensor, supporting recording of up to 4K/120fps and 13.5 stops of high dynamic range, the camera was able to adapt to the complex lighting environment in space – from intense high-altitude sunlight, low-altitude backlighting, and sand and dust. The resulting footage preserved the rich highlight and shadow details, while clearly capturing key high-speed moments such as the engine's ignition, grid-fin attitude adjustment, and landing cushioning.
DJI Cameras - including upcoming Osmo 360 II - Films the Launch Closely On-site
Beyond the rocket-mounted first-person perspective, DJI's full ecosystem of imaging devices were used to create an on-site filming network stretching from the sky to the ground. This included the DJI Mavic 4 Pro for aerial photography, DJI Matrice 4TD for thermal imaging, Osmo 360 II for panoramic 360° imaging and Osmo Pocket 4P for cinematic-quality footage. Together, these DJI products provided high-altitude situational tracking and thermal-imaging monitoring as well as behind-the-scenes footage on the ground. With multiple, blind-spot-free perspectives, they documented this moment in aerospace history.
