Four ways to offer MT5 in the browser
From the standard MT5 web terminal to a fully custom build, here is how the common approaches compare on branding, cost, effort and performance.
Brokers can offer MT5 in the browser in four common ways: the standard MT5 web terminal, a branded WebTrader delivered from the Cloudflare edge (FXPTrader), a VPS with a reverse proxy, or a custom terminal built on the MT5 Web API. Edge delivery gives your own domain and branding with no servers and is typically live the same day.

Which one is right for you?
The standard MT5 web terminal comes with the platform and needs no work, but it is not presented on your domain or with your company details.
If your goal is a branded, fast MT5 WebTrader without infrastructure work, edge delivery is the simplest option: nothing to host, SSL included and good performance worldwide.
A VPS with a reverse proxy can achieve similar branding, but your team takes on servers, certificates, updates and monitoring, and all traffic flows through one location.
A custom terminal built on the MT5 Web API gives complete freedom over the interface. It is a software project with a matching budget and timeline, and many brokers start with a branded WebTrader while they build one.
