Based on my direct review and hands-on experience with DEGIRO, I found that their trading environment is entirely proprietary—they do not offer access to MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), or cTrader. Instead, DEGIRO has developed its own in-house trading platform, which can be accessed either through the web or via their dedicated mobile application. For me as a trader, this means there is a trade-off: while their platform is user-friendly and offers quick order windows, streaming quotes, and access to global markets, it lacks features I often rely on, such as automated trading tools and advanced technical analysis typically found with MT4, MT5, or cTrader. This limitation has a significant impact on my workflow, especially when considering strategies that depend on custom indicators or trading bots, which are simply not available with DEGIRO. Their platform does provide basic functionalities for placing various order types, tracking portfolio news, and managing investments, and I find it suitable for straightforward investing in stocks, ETFs, and other securities. However, for active forex trading or algorithmic strategies, the absence of more sophisticated third-party trading solutions is a real drawback and something I approach with caution. In my opinion, traders with advanced needs or a strong preference for widely accepted trading tools may find this restriction limiting. Always ensure your trading requirements match the broker's offerings before committing substantial funds.
