Question 1

What is an MT5 Grey Label?

Accepted Answer

An MT5 Grey Label is a middle-ground solution between a full MetaTrader 5 server license and a White Label. You get custom branding, trading group control, symbol configuration, and spread management without the $100K+ cost of a full license.

Question 2

How long does it take to launch?

Accepted Answer

Most grey label setups go live within 1-2 weeks, including platform branding, trading group configuration, and liquidity connection.

Question 3

What is the difference between Grey Label and White Label?

Accepted Answer

Grey Label offers more control than White Label — including trading group management, symbol configuration, spread control, and partial server access — while still being provider-hosted. White Label is more limited but cheaper.

Question 4

Can prop firms use MT5 without getting banned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With an MT5 Grey Label, your prop firm operates under a licensed broker's server. MetaQuotes cannot see or target your operation, giving you zero ban risk while keeping the MT5 platform your traders love.

Question 5

How much does an MT5 Grey Label cost?

Accepted Answer

MT5 Grey Label pricing is $5 per account created, with no setup fees. Volume discounts are available as you scale.

Question 6

Do I get my own MT5 Manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every plan includes your own MT5 Manager with full access to your trading groups, client accounts, and platform configuration.

Question 7

What happens if MetaQuotes bans more prop firms?

Accepted Answer

Nothing happens to you. Your grey label operates under our licensed broker's server. MetaQuotes cannot see or target individual grey label operators. Your operation is completely invisible.

Question 8

Is MT5 Grey Label better than cTrader or TradeLocker for prop firms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Over 70% of traders prefer MT5. Alternative platforms like cTrader, TradeLocker, and DXtrade lack Expert Advisor support, have smaller indicator ecosystems, and lower trader familiarity. MT5 Grey Label gives you the platform traders love with zero ban risk.
