Hello Deriv community  
I’m curious to know whether your DMT5 trading platform is the same as regular MT5, or if you’ve customized it in some way?

If I use a software app that’s built for MT5, should it be compatible with DMT5, or will it need to be modified to use with DMT5?

Thanks so much!

Hi @busters-aiblins-1, yes it’s the same platform. You can use the MetaTrader 5 by MetaQuotes. The DMT5 stands for Deriv MT5 but still uses the same platform.

You can refer to your own MT5 accounts and create them here: [Deriv App | Deriv](https://app.deriv.com/mt5)

Otherwise, we do have several posts in Deriv Community related to the Deriv MT5 platform, which you can see here:

We also have a different CFD platform other than MT5, which is **Deriv X**. The Deriv X is a more customizable and user-friendly trading platform compared to the MT5. For more information, you can refer to these links.
