MT5 White Label Setup — Launch a Brokerage Under Your Brand
A white label is the fastest route to a functioning brokerage: you license MetaQuotes' platform infrastructure, apply your brand, and operate under your entity — without writing a trading engine. It is also an area where brokers-to-be get quoted fantasy numbers and miss the real decisions.

Overview
What this service actually involves
We handle the platform layer end-to-end: server licensing engagement with the vendor, branding and installer builds, dealing-desk and back-office server architecture (trade servers, history, feeds), demo/live server separation, and connection of your liquidity and CRM into the platform. We are not MetaQuotes — we're the integrator that gets it deployed, configured, and stable.
Cost reality, stated plainly: a proper MT5 white label is a five-figure commitment including license fees, and the numbers quoted around the industry vary widely with what's actually included. We give you a written scope and fixed price across the integration work, with third-party costs identified separately.
Scope
What we deliver
Concrete deliverables, not a capability list. Every item below is scoped in writing before a fixed quote is issued.
Branded client platform builds
Custom installers, terminal branding, logo/theme/splash work, and marketing site aligned to the platform experience.
Server architecture & configuration
Trade server, history server, and web access deployment; demo environments; symbol specs, groups, and account types configured to your commercial model.
Dealing-desk tooling
Manager/back-office configuration, bridge to liquidity, risk and exposure views, and order-flow handling for your chosen execution model (B-book/A-book/hybrid).
Go-live & stabilization
Launch checklist, smoke testing, first-week support, and an operations handover your team can run without us.

Example project shapes
Anonymized project briefs in the shape real requests arrive — platform, fixed quote, and timeline agreed before work starts.
MT5 white label, single jurisdiction
Fixed scope · 6–10 weeks
Server cluster + branding + manager + liquidity bridge + CRM integration into go-live with 3 account types and a demo environment for sales. Vendor license fees and bridge licensing quoted separately and transparently.
MT4 + MT5 dual launch
Fixed scope · 8–12 weeks
Both platforms under one brand for a client whose existing traders are split — shared symbol specs, unified manager views, and per-platform installers.
Platform rescue for stalled launch
Fixed scope · 3–6 weeks
Client had paid a 'turnkey broker' vendor that left a half-configured server and no documentation. We audited what existed, rebuilt the gaps, and delivered an operational platform with runbooks.

MetaQuotes licensing (server, white label, updates) is a separate, direct third-party cost we help you navigate and budget honestly. Our integration and delivery work is fixed-scope, typically from $8,000–$30,000+ depending on platform count, server topology, and how much of the surrounding stack (bridge, CRM, site) is in scope.
