Does MT5 have a desktop version?

Yes, MT5 has a desktop version. It runs natively on Windows, and MetaQuotes also provides macOS and Linux options. You can download it from the official MetaTrader 5 website or from a broker that supports MT5. The desktop platform includes charting, technical indicators, market analysis, order placement, automated trading through Expert Advisors, and strategy testing. You still need a live or demo account with an MT5 broker to place trades.
