Can I use MetaTrader without a broker?

No, you cannot use MetaTrader without a broker. MetaTrader is a trading platform that is designed to connect traders with brokers and facilitate trading in financial markets. It serves as a bridge between traders and the brokers' trading infrastructure, allowing traders to access real-time market data, execute trades, and manage their accounts.

In order to use MetaTrader, you need to have an account with a broker that supports the MetaTrader platform. When you sign up with a broker, they will provide you with the necessary login credentials (such as a username and password) to access your trading account through MetaTrader.

The broker is responsible for providing the trading instruments, liquidity, and other services necessary for trading. They also handle the execution of trades and manage the financial transactions associated with your trading activities.

Therefore, to use MetaTrader and trade in financial markets, you will need to open an account with a broker that supports the MetaTrader platform and follow their account opening procedures.
