<p id="isPasted">MT4 is developed in MQL4. The proprietary langages developed for the tool by Metatrader company. MT5 is in MQL5.</p><p>If you are interested in MQL4 programming, you must have become acquainted with the client terminal by now. The client terminal is a part of the online trading system. This online trading system also includes a server installed in a dealing center. The dealing centre is connected with other market participants, such as banks and financial institutions.</p>

<p id="isPasted">MQL is a subset of C++, so if you know C++, it is probably simpler to stick to MQL, unless you really need some crazy infrastructure.</p><p>(MQL supports C++ templates, if you need)</p><p>The MQL API provides pretty much everything needed to implement your algorithms.</p><p>MQL4 is in a C++, C/Win32 fashion, while MQL5 has a C++ Library, and the MT5 runtime is more diverse. But many brokers are still running MT4.</p>

<p>MQL4 and MQL5 are the languages of MT4 and MT5, the two most widely used trading platforms. Even I prefer trading on MT5 on my Oanda and Fxview accounts. They are great as they are compatible with a host of trading and analytical tools. Not sure, but I think Python is used for backtesting.</p>

<p>All forex brokers support MT4 and MT5 so you use their language which is C++ in the case of MT5. Many other brokers also support cTrader which provides a platform to write bots in C#. I am not sure why and how anyone will use python in forex.</p>
