What should I watch for when downloading MetaTrader 5?

Prefer official MetaTrader 5 channels or the App Store and Google Play. Before installing, check the app name, publisher, and file source. Avoid unknown or modified clients.

Is MetaTrader 5 a broker? Can I trade right after download?

MetaTrader 5 is trading platform software, not a broker. After you install the client, you still need a trading account and server details from a broker to connect to live trading.
