- There is no single best option. It depends on budget, timeline and how much of the interface you want to own.
- Edge-branded WebTraders are the fastest route to your own domain and brand with no infrastructure.
- Custom terminals built on the MT5 Web API offer full design control at much higher cost and time.
- Provider white label packages bundle the platform, CRM and web terminal but tie you to that provider.
What to compare
- Brand control: domain, company details, legal links, interface.
- Time to launch and total cost (setup plus running).
- Infrastructure you must operate.
- Performance for clients in your target regions.
- Control over who can log in.
The main options
1. Standard MT5 web terminal
Provided with MT5 and running on your access server. Reliable and familiar, with limited brand control.
2. iframe embed on your website
Quick and free, but framed inside a page. See how to add the MT5 web terminal to your website.
3. Edge-branded WebTrader (FXPTrader)
The MT5 WebTrader delivered on your own domain through a Cloudflare Worker, with your company details, legal links and login range control. No servers, SSL included and typically live the same day.
4. VPS with a reverse proxy
Similar branding is possible with Nginx or OpenResty on a server, but your team maintains servers, certificates and updates, and traffic flows through one location.
5. Provider white label packages
Technology providers bundle MT5 access, CRM and branded terminals. Convenient if you are starting from scratch; the terminal comes as part of that provider’s ecosystem.
6. Custom terminal on the MT5 Web API
Complete control over design and features. It is a software product in its own right, with development and maintenance budgets to match.
