MetaQuotes is the vendor behind MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), which have been dominant in the retail broker space since the forex boom and has naturally become a staple among prop firms outside of the US.

With an entity incorporated in Limassol, Cyprus, MetaQuotes is the infamous developer of the MT4 and MT5 trading platforms commonly associated with forex and crypto among retail traders. Naturally, it was one of the most commonly used platforms by the first generation of trader evaluation prop firms. Today, MetaTrader is under threat as a stronghold among US prop firms, and futures platforms are becoming more common for companies targeting American traders. However, if your prop firm will be based outside of America, and if you have the budget, a MetaTrader license may still be a fit.
