MetaTrader India

MetaQuotes continues to impress us with new features in MetaTrader 5.  As with any major software upgrade, however, there will be a period of time where both MT4 and MT5 will exist and perhaps be supported concurrently by brokers.  One excellent way MetaQuotes has helped manage that overlap is a feature that permits MetaTrader 5 to act as a signal provider for MetaTrader 4 with a little coding in the MQL languages.  This article outlines the process, and it was found on the MQL5 Community website, MQL5.com.  All MT4 users and administrators should be sure to keep up with MT5 news as the platform is adopted by the world’s brokerages.

MB Trading FX , a technology-driven Forex brokerage offering STP and ECN execution via MetaTrader 4 as well as multiple trading platforms, announced today the launch of its Free ECN pricing structure. MB Trading FX is the first Forex broker to offer free ECN trading.“The ECN model has matured, and MB Trading FX has led those changes. We believe now is the time to again raise the bar with a commission-free ECN model. This bundles the best of all things FOREX to date—an ECN model with orders reflecting on our Limit book, customers able to cross orders with one another, and a non-fixed spread where all participants may reduce the spread with their bids and offers,” said Ross Ditlove, CEO of MB Trading. “Some traders clearly prefer to not have a commission added to their trade after the fact. With this plan, we take our bank fee and apply a small mark-up to cover our costs. The price that is reflected in the montage is the total trade cost. For clients who prefer to only post their limit orders, MB Trading FX will continue to offer its hugely successful Pay for Limits plan, which to date has paid clients over half a million dollars in rebates.” The company is the first brokerage to offer such a pricing structure via its MetaTrader 4 platform. MB Trading FX is now accepting live accounts for the new pricing model and has updated its website to display comparisons of its spreads to other non-commission brokers on its website, www.mbtrading.com. ”Thanks to MB Trading FX’s neutrality, our bank quotes are very  competitive, thus we can add a small mark-up into the quote and compete with any spread-based Forex broker while still showcasing our ECN technology to allow retail customers to enjoy these benefits,” said David Lipsett, Executive Vice-President of MB Trading.

As recognized in the industry, InvestTechFX was solely a Non-Dealing Desk Software Solutions Company that processed clients’ trades on the STP network uninterrupted to the Interbank. Now with this new merger, InvestTechFX will be joining the latest trends in the Forex currency exchange Industry by moving to the Forex ECN platform of trading while maintaining STP platform, which makes it a more competitive machine in the industry.

Spreads on the majors can go below 1-pip during liquidity times, and typical spreads are listed below. Other companies and brokers do not offer tight spreads like InvestTechFX has to offer.

Please note that the MetaTrader 4 platform works on a 5-point decimal system. For example, EUR/USD may give a price of 1.39913/1.39919, which is 0.5 pips. Also, please note that a volume of 1 lot = 100,000 of the first named currency which is available on macro and mini lots are also available.

This has been reduced and will change the Fx Trading market for all traders alike!

With spreads from as low as 0.5 pips, and EUR/USD being the most commonly traded FX pair in the world, the InvestTechFX team are pleased to bring this outstanding news.

MQL5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

In MetaTrader 4, clients had the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN timeframes, but MetaTrader 5 introduces intermediate timeframes into the mix. Built-in indicators and graphical objects are used for quick analysis of quotes and trade decision-making. In summary, the terminal offers 3 types of charts, 21 timeframes and more than 70 analytical tools.

The terminal provides all the necessary tools needed to ensure full-fledged and flexible trading activities. With such a powerful trading arsenal, one can easily detect trends, various figures, entry-exit points and so much more, at just a click of the mouse.
