July 12th, 2011 Comments off

Vantage FX is pleased to announce that it is one of the first brokers to provide clients with access to the MetaTrader 5 Demo Platform. The MetaTrader 5 trading platform is designed to service customers in Forex, CFD, Futures and Equity markets as well.

One of the main features that makes MetaTrader 5 superior to MetaTrader 4 is its architecture. A set of functions that were previously performed by one server, are logically divided between separate components in the new platform: a trade server; an access server; a history; and backup server. Such an organisation of internal interaction significantly increases the reliability and performance of the system. This translates to increased productivity, improved fault tolerance, greater stability and faster trade execution.

The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal is a perfectly equipped trader’s working tool that allows traders to create practically any trading system and actively manage it.  The platform contains all the trading functions a trader will ever need. All types of Orders are supported, with four types of trade Operation Execution available: Instant, Request, Market and Exchange.

For traders preferring to automate their trading, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is perfect. The MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user friendly. 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.
