No, Deriv does not offer MT4. Its MetaTrader platform is Deriv MT5, and as at October 2026 Deriv’s platform list is Deriv MT5, Deriv cTrader, TradingView, Deriv Trader, Deriv Bot, SmartTrader and the Deriv App, with no MetaTrader 4 option.
If you searched for a Deriv MT4 download, you need Deriv MT5 instead. This page explains what that means for MT4 users, how to move across, and which Deriv platform fits what you want to do.
Does Deriv have MT4?
Deriv’s website, help centre and platform pages make no mention of an MT4 account, and the account setup only offers MT5 for MetaTrader. Any site offering a “Deriv MT4” download or server is not Deriv. Download MetaTrader only from the links on deriv.com or from MetaQuotes, and log in with the MT5 credentials shown in your Deriv dashboard.
You may have read that MetaQuotes “ended MT4” in December 2024. That is not quite what happened. MetaQuotes stopped supporting old builds from 1 December 2024: MT4 terminals older than build 1420 and MT5 terminals older than build 4410 can no longer connect to broker servers. MT4 itself still exists at other brokers. It is simply not part of Deriv’s line-up.
Deriv MT5: the MetaTrader option at Deriv
Deriv MT5 gives you the MetaTrader charts, indicators and Expert Advisors you know from MT4, plus Deriv’s own instruments. Deriv’s help centre lists six MT5 account types:
| MT5 account | What it is for |
|---|---|
| CFDs (Standard) | Financial markets and Derived Indices, spreads from 0.1 pips, no commission |
| Financial | Forex, stocks, indices and commodities CFDs |
| Zero Spread | Zero spreads on selected instruments |
| Swap-free | No overnight swap, wider spreads, smaller instrument list |
| Gold | Gold trading |
| Crypto | Cryptocurrency CFDs |
Availability can vary by country. Download Deriv MT5 for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS or Android from the Deriv MT5 page, or use the web terminal without installing anything. Our Deriv MT5 account guide covers account types, jurisdictions and login in detail.
Moving from MT4 to Deriv MT5
- Open a Deriv profile. If you are not set up yet, start with opening a Deriv account and complete verification.
- Add an MT5 account. In your dashboard choose an MT5 account type, tap Activate and set an MT5 password. This password is separate from your Deriv login.
- Install MT5. Use the download links on deriv.com and log in with the MT5 login number and server shown in your dashboard.
- Bring your tools across. MT4 indicators and Expert Advisors (MQL4) do not run on MT5. Look for MQL5 versions or have them rewritten, and test them on a demo first.
- Practise first. Use a Deriv demo account to get used to MT5’s order window and hedging behaviour before you fund the real account.
MT5 adds more timeframes (21 against 9 on MT4), more built-in indicators, a depth of market window and more asset classes. Our MT5 vs MT4 comparison sets out the differences, and what is MT5 covers the basics.

Before you trade with Deriv
Deriv is not authorised by the FSCA. South Africans deal with offshore Deriv companies: Deriv (SVG) LLC for the Wallet, cTrader and swap-free CFDs, Deriv Capital International Ltd (Samoa) for options and multipliers, and a BVI, Vanuatu, Mauritius, Cayman or Labuan company for MT5 depending on the jurisdiction you are offered. The FAIS Ombud cannot handle complaints about them. If you want MT4 with an FSCA-authorised broker, compare brokers or read the full Deriv review.
