Which platforms does Pepperstone support?
Verdict
- Pepperstone supports five platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradingView and its own Pepperstone web platform and mobile app, more choice than Capital.com or XS offer in our data.
- In the UAE, the Standard account runs on the Pepperstone platform, MT5 and cTrader; Razor adds MT4 and TradingView.
- The platform changes Razor's commission: $3.00 per side on cTrader against $3.50 on MT5, TradingView and Pepperstone's own platform, and $7 per lot on MT4.
- Extras include Smart Trader Tools for MetaTrader, cTrader Automate for C# bots, API trading and a free VPS for eligible clients; copy trading is offered only on Pepperstone's international site.
Pepperstone's platform line-up is one of the main reasons we rank it first: you can bring the software you already know. The catch for UAE residents is that two of the five platforms need a Razor account. Here is the full map.
Five platforms, two of them Razor-only in the UAE
Pepperstone lets you pick between the two MetaTrader versions, cTrader, TradingView and its own web platform and app. Everything runs on the same account and pricing, so switching platforms later doesn't mean switching brokers. If you plan to use MT4 or TradingView from the UAE, open a Razor account from the start.

Add-ons, automation and copy trading
- Smart Trader Tools for MT4 and MT5: named tools include Trade Terminal, Mini Terminal, Correlation Matrix, Smart Lines, Connect and Trade Simulator. Pepperstone gives two counts for the suite, 28 and 60+.
- cTrader Automate: build and run C# cBots inside cTrader.
- Expert advisors on MT4 and MT5, which Pepperstone's UAE algorithmic-trading page confirms are allowed.
- API trading for your own code, and a free VPS for eligible and Pro clients.
- Copy trading (CopyTrading by Pepperstone, cTrader Copy, MetaTrader Signals) is published on the international site only; the UAE copy-trading page returns an error.
Which platform for which trader
- You chart on TradingView already: Razor plus TradingView, and trade from the charts you use.
- You want the lowest Razor commission or C# automation: cTrader.
- You use expert advisors or Smart Trader Tools: MT5, or MT4 with Razor.
- You want everything, including funding, in one place on your phone: the Pepperstone app.
How Capital.com and XS compare
Capital.com lists its own web platform and mobile app, MT4, MT5 and a TradingView integration, but no cTrader in our data. XS offers MT4, MT5 and the XS Trading App. If cTrader or the widest choice matters to you, Pepperstone is the only one of the three that covers it.
