Gold comparisons

    GOLDHUNTS VS THE MT5 MOBILE APP

    Both apps place gold orders on the same broker account. The MT5 mobile app is a neutral multi-asset terminal, so the trader supplies the gold context and the risk maths. Gold Hunts is gold-only, so that context and those numbers sit beside the order — at the cost of covering nothing but gold.

    TASK BY TASK

    The comparison below is limited to the standard MetaTrader 5 mobile app published by MetaQuotes. MT5 desktop is a materially different product — it has the strategy tester, Expert Advisors and custom indicators — and broker-supplied add-ons vary, so neither is treated as the same thing.

    Checked against the Gold Hunts codebase on 2026-09-09. MetaTrader 5 behaviour described here is the standard mobile app as published by MetaQuotes; broker builds and add-ons vary.

    WHERE THE MT5 APP IS THE BETTER CHOICE

    If any of the following describes your trading, the MT5 app is the right answer and this page is not trying to talk you out of it.

    • A broker or instrument Gold Hunts does not support.
    • Trading instruments other than gold — Gold Hunts is gold-only by design.
    • Running Expert Advisors or custom MT5 indicators.
    • Workflows that depend on MT5 desktop features such as strategy tester.

    WHAT EACH ONE COSTS

    The MT5 mobile app is free; you pay your broker through spread, commission and swap. Gold Hunts is £119.99 a year (about £9.99 a month) or £79.99 every 6 months. No free trial; the subscription opens the whole app. All payments are final and non-refundable; cancel any time and keep access to the end of the paid period.

    Both charge the same broker costs, because both route to the same account. The only additional cost is the Gold Hunts subscription for live order execution, and every risk-reducing action stays free.

    HOW WE COMPARED

    Rows describe features that exist in each product today, not planned work. Gold Hunts capabilities were verified against the codebase on 2026-09-09, and enforcement is stated honestly: a limit marked enforced is refused on the server, a warning marked advisory blocks nothing.

    No performance, profit or return figures are compared, for either product. A win rate is not profitability, and no software makes a losing strategy profitable.

    RISK NOTE

    Leveraged gold carries a high risk of rapid loss. Everything on this page is education, not financial advice or a projection of returns.

    GOLD TRADING FAQ

    Can Gold Hunts fully replace the MT5 mobile app for gold?
    For trading gold on a supported broker, yes — reading the market, sizing, placing, managing and reviewing trades all happen in Gold Hunts. For any other instrument, Expert Advisors or an unsupported broker, keep MT5.
    Do both apps trade the same account?
    Yes. Both connect to your MetaTrader 5 broker account, so positions and history are the same whichever app you open.
    Is the MT5 mobile app the same as MT5 desktop?
    No. Desktop MT5 adds the strategy tester, Expert Advisors and custom indicators, none of which are in the mobile app. This comparison covers the mobile app only.
    Does Gold Hunts guarantee a maximum loss on a gold trade?
    No. A configured loss limit refuses new orders, and a stop order is an instruction held at your broker. Neither guarantees the realised loss when gold gaps or liquidity thins.
