MT5 White Label & Main Label Platform for Forex Brokers
Launch your branded MetaTrader 5 brokerage. White Label (4-8 weeks, sub-license) or Main Label (6-10 weeks, full license from MetaQuotes). Includes MQL5, 38 indicators, and 21 timeframes.
What is an MT5 White Label Platform?
An MT5 White Label platform is a ready-to-launch, fully branded trading solution that allows you to operate your own forex brokerage without building technology from scratch. You license the platform from an existing MetaTrader 5 main label holder who sub-licenses the technology under your brand.
Because MetaQuotes stopped issuing new MT5 White Label licenses in late 2022, new brokers cannot get a White Label directly from MetaQuotes. Instead, they must partner with an existing main label holder. Finxsol works with licensed main label partners to provide MT5 White Label solutions.
For brokers seeking maximum control, the MT5 Main Label (Full License) is a direct license from MetaQuotes with dedicated server ownership, full API access, and complete control over operations. This option requires significantly higher capital investment and technical resources.
Brokers worldwide use MetaTrader 5. MT5 is the industry standard for multi-asset trading platforms.

Deploy MT5 Platform →MT5 White Label — frequently asked questions
Common questions about MetaTrader 5 White Label, MT5 Main Label, deployment timelines, costs, and platform capabilities in 2026.
No. MetaQuotes stopped issuing new MT5 White Label licenses in late 2022. In 2026, new brokers cannot obtain MT5 White Label directly from MetaQuotes. You must work with an existing main label holder who can sub-license the technology under a white label agreement. This applies to both MT5 White Label and White Label MT5 deployments. Finxsol works with licensed main label partners to provide MT5 White Label solutions for new brokers.
MT5 White Label is a sub-license from an existing main label holder — lower cost ($5k-$15k setup), faster deployment (4-8 weeks), but limited control over server and backend. MT5 Main Label is a direct license from MetaQuotes — full server ownership, complete control over API access and configurations, but significantly higher cost ($100k+ license plus server) and longer deployment (6-10 weeks).
MT5 White Label setup fees typically range from $5,000 to $15,000, with monthly fees of $1,000 to $3,000. Additional costs include liquidity bridge integration ($500-$2,000/month), CRM and back-office, and optional plugins like PAMM/MAM or copy trading.
MT5 White Label deployment takes 4-8 weeks from contract to go-live, including dedicated server setup, full white label branding, liquidity bridge configuration, and quality assurance testing. MT5 Main Label deployment takes 6-10 weeks for dedicated server procurement, MetaQuotes licensing, full integration, and compliance validation.
A MetaTrader 5 White Label platform supports multiple asset classes from a single account: Forex (70+ currency pairs including major, minor, exotic), Indices (S&P500, NASDAQ, FTSE, DAX, Nikkei), Commodities (Gold, Silver, Oil, Natural Gas, Coffee, Wheat), Stocks (CFDs on global equities from US, UK, EU, Asian markets), Futures, Options, and Cryptocurrencies as CFDs (BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, ADA, DOT).
Yes. MT5 White Label includes the full MQL5 development environment for creating Expert Advisors (EAs), custom indicators, and trading scripts. Features include multi-threaded backtesting (up to 99.9% quality with real tick data), distributed cloud optimization, and real-time strategy execution.
White Label MT5 includes fully branded native mobile apps for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android. Both apps support real-time quotes, interactive HTML5 charts with 30+ indicators, full order management (market, limit, stop, trailing stop), push notifications for price alerts and order fills, biometric authentication (FaceID/TouchID on iOS, fingerprint on Android), and account history.
