The launch of the new platform reflects the broker's goals — developing through the use of cutting-edge system solutions and high-quality customer service.

"We are aware that every trader is different, and we are always looking to ensure that our clients have the necessary tools to trade according to their preferred style, using the device of their choice", — says Mr George Koumandaris, CEO of HotForex. "Providing the MetaTrader 5 platform is the perfect extra boost that our clients need in order to enjoy even more trading possibilities. We are demonstrating that HotForex will continue offering the best possible trading solutions on the market".

Chinese-speaking brokers and integrators can now access all necessary information in their native language. MetaTrader 5 is gaining momentum in East Asia: over a million traders and hundreds of brokers from China, Hong Kong and Singapore already use various versions of the trading platform. The launch of the Chinese support website version, in addition to the English and Russian versions, is directly related with the expansion of MetaQuotes' presence in the Asian continent.

The Technical Support Center provides unique information which cannot be found in other resources. In addition to a huge knowledge base and professional marketing materials, the website features the App Store of verified MetaTrader 5 solutions for brokerages. Documentation on Manager and Administrator terminals, multi-page FAQ sections with answers to critical questions and exclusive guides on back-office analytics and onboarding functionality are available only via the Support Center website.

The entire website interface has been translated into Chinese. Moreover, we will continue to further develop both the database and the interface, in an effort to sustain and increase the brokers operational efficiency. The user interface of MetaTrader Manager and Administrator terminals is also available in Chinese. Furthermore, we plan to introduce an updated website design and launch new projects, which will help MetaTrader brokers in further increasing their business expansion and continuity, from both a technological and a marketing point of view.

Mr Ori Hazan, Antelope Systems

"This positive and important step provides to Antelope Systems and to our clients a better all round experience" commented Mr Ori Hazan, the integration company's CEO. "Understanding that every call center operates in the golden triangle of marketing, lead management and phone systems, we have unified all into one optimized package for MetaTrader 5. Brokers operating in the new platform will soon be able to order our products in the MetaTrader 5 App Store — with the new marketplace, it has become much easier to find and integrate the desired solutions."

We have added calculation for the price history of synthetic symbols for the entire available data depth. Previously, the history was only calculated for the last two months. A deeper history could be created only upon an explicit request (when scrolling the chart to the left or calling Copy functions).

How it works

Each symbol used in the formula can have a price history of different depth. Therefore, the calculation is performed for the shortest available period. For example, the formula uses three financial instruments:

• EURUSD with the history down to January 1, 2009
• USDJPY with the history down to June 1, 2012
• EURJPY with the history down to June 1, 2014

In this case, the history of the synthetic symbol will be calculated for a period from June 1, 2014 to the present. 100 minutes will be additionally discarded from this date, to ensure calculation integrity. If any minute bar is not available in history, a previous minute bar is used in the calculation.

If the history is deep, the calculation can take quite a long time. The history for the last two months is calculated first, in order to view the chart immediately. An earlier history is generated afterwards.

Third-party solutions have become available to brokers straight from the MetaTrader 5 Administrator build 1860. Previously, the market was only available as a web service. The App Store now features over 80 products from 16 software providers, including various liquidity, money management and integration solutions, data feeds, affiliate services and much more. Now, the desired product can be requested straight from the platform.

The Client concept has been introduced in the new build, allowing storage of all accounts belonging to one trader in a single profile. Thus, all departments of a brokerage company can conveniently work with the client. Also, the latest build features new functionality for analyzing the trader database and the efficiency of marketing campaigns.

Various Client and trading account reports have been added in the MetaTrader 5 Manager terminal. These reports can quickly present large amounts of data and are provided with flexible filtering and sorting options. All processes in the platform are now conveniently visualized through dashboards.

The platform continues to evolve, so please follow the news.

The latest platform version features a revised start dialog: traders can select a broker first, and then choose the desired account type. To make the search easier and more efficient, company logos are additionally shown in the list. If you can't view the desired company, please type its name or server address in the search box.

We have added account descriptions in the dialog to help beginners choose the right account type. Now, traders can clearly see the difference between real trading accounts and risk-free demo accounts. To help brokers align with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the updated account opening dialog contains links to the relevant agreements and data protection policies.

The real account acquisition procedure has become easier — MiFID and MiFID II regulated brokers can request the required information straight through the platform. In earlier platform versions, traders could upload documents through mobile terminals. Now, this functionality is also available in the desktop platforms.

The Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) brokerage house has launched the MetaTrader 5 platform for its clients. As an active Broker Clearing Member of the DGCX, JRG International has consistently been ranked as one of the top ten firms giving access to the DGCX’s products covering Currencies, Equities, Precious Metals and Hydrocarbons.

JRG International Brokerage DMCC has over 30 years investment expertise inherited from parent companies JRG Securities LTD (listed on the Indian Stock Exchange) and Apple Multi Asset DMCC (AMA). In October 2017, Apple Multi Asset DMCC (AMA) officially acquired a 100% equity stake in JRG International. The purchase completes the blueprint to connect India, China and Europe through a strategic central point as part of the Belt and Road Initiative. JRG International is currently one of the fastest growing brokerage houses in the U.A.E. The company is licensed by Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority (ESCA) and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).

Mr Jiguang Yu and Mr Weihua Sheng, Directors of JRG International Brokerage DMCC

"Our efforts are focused upon empowering traders to trade on the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange using state-of-the-art technology and trading tools," says Mr Jiguang Yu, CEO of AMA and Director of JRG International. "Our acquisition of JRG and the introduction of the MetaTrader 5 Platform will help us to serve our customers better and also extend our services to multi-asset trading communities around the world."

"We welcome the expansion of Apple Multi Asset DMCC and we are pleased to see that they recognize the role which JRG International has played in being a staunch supporter of the DGCX," Mr Les Male comments, CEO of DGCX. "Further implementation of MetaTrader 5 will enable greater connectivity and speed for both themselves and their clients."

"The association with AMA and the launch of the MetaTrader 5 platform will place JRG International at a vantage point and will enable them to reach out to new traders," says Mr Gaies Chreis, Chief Operating Officer of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "We believe that MetaTrader 5 will dovetail with the existing core competencies within the company allowing a true powerhouse to emerge."

A new offer from the US-based integrator includes advanced price monitoring tools, enhanced maker connectivity, and an improved oneZero Liquidity Hub gateway. You can order these solutions in the store of the ready-made broker software for MetaTrader 5.

Direct Market Access (DMA) from oneZero Financial Systems enables sending buy or sell orders directly to an exchange order book instead of using an intermediary broker-dealer or market maker. The Advanced Maker Controls component provides users with real-time control over the pricing they get from liquidity providers. Featuring an easy-to-use, single-screen interface, users can monitor spreads, freeze pricing, and disconnect or restart maker pricing on a per-symbol basis without stopping the application. These key enhancements are accompanied by new nightly market data reporting which allows brokers to report their market data distribution to liquidity providers.

DMA capabilities cater to institutional and B2B clients. DMA features are configurable via the oneZero GUI or a scalable API which helps institutions fit the MetaTrader 5 gateway into their existing infrastructures. The integrator believes that the new solution will allow market participants to combine the technological power of MetaTrader platforms with the leading interbank liquidity providers.

"We’ve been experiencing a massive uptick in demand for these types of DMA capabilities, and we’re very pleased to bring them to the MetaTrader 5 platform," says oneZero CEO, Mr. Andrew Ralich.

USGFX was one of the first Australian brokers to offer MetaTrader 5 to their traders back in August2017. Now, after 9 months, the company is reaping the benefits of adding MetaTrader 5 to its choice of trading platforms by attracting new clients and increasing business from existing clients.

According to Shay Zakhaim, Chief Executive Officer, USGFX, "The architecture of MetaTrader 5 sets it apart from all other trading platforms in the market. It has become a platform of choice for many of our clients and has also attracted plenty of new traders to our brokerage. We regularly receive extremely positive feedback, especially from traders who have migrated from MetaTrader 4. They particularly like the additional timeframes and superior analytics available through the MetaTrader 5 platform.

Shay Zakhaim: "We regularly receive extremely positive feedback from traders who have migrated from MetaTrader 4 to MetaTrader 5"

A further advantage, according to Shay Zakhaim, is the integrated all-in-one multi functionality. He cites MetaTrader Market — which gives USGFX’s clients access to a vast online store of trading robots — as an additional key benefit.

USGFX deploys Gold-i's MetaTrader 5 Gateway for access to multi-asset liquidity providers. The Gateway enables traders to benefit from ultra-low latency and risk coverage with banks in real-time.

"We are very proud to have been an early adopter of MetaTrader 5, and we have worked with Gold-i for many years," adds Shay Zakhaim, commenting on the cooperation between the three companies. "Gold-i's MT5 Gateway enhances the multi-asset features of the platform and provides us with fast and reliable integration between retail and institutional trading systems."
