When evaluating CHIEF as a trader, one of the first things I checked was the range of trading platforms on offer, particularly because platform flexibility greatly influences my trading approach and risk management. In CHIEF’s case, they only provide their proprietary platform, called Chief Deal, which is accessible on mobile devices. This means that, unlike many brokers, CHIEF does not offer MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), or cTrader at all. For me, this lack of support for these industry-standard platforms is notable. MT4 and MT5 are trusted by traders worldwide due to their robust charting, the availability of algorithmic trading (via Expert Advisors), and a wide ecosystem of third-party indicators and scripts. Without access to these, I would have to adapt to a unique system, which could impact my trading efficiency, especially if I rely on custom tools or automated strategies. While proprietary platforms are not inherently a red flag, I believe that any broker limiting users only to their in-house software should be approached with even greater caution. The quality, transparency, and reliability of such platforms can vary widely, and I always prefer to thoroughly test these platforms before committing significant funds. In summary, CHIEF does not support MT4, MT5, or cTrader, which for me is a significant limitation compared to the broader industry standard.
