The beta version of the multi-market MetaTrader 5 web platform has been released today. You can try it out on Forex right now. The only thing you need is an MQL5.community account and a demo account on MetaQuotes-Demo.

The MetaTrader 5 web platform allows you to trade within the financial markets from any browser and operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux). You just need Internet connection. No additional software is required.

The web version of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform has been designed due to numerous requests from brokerage companies striving to attract new traders. The new product combines convenience and cross-platform nature of the web terminal with the advantages of the desktop version of MetaTrader 5 – speed, support for multiple markets, and expanded trading functions.

The beta version already features the hedging system, 30 technical indicators, 24 analytical objects, and the entire set of the MetaTrader 5 trading orders. The MetaTrader 5 web platform's user interface has been translated into 41 languages to avoid any linguistic barriers.

Today, MetaQuotes Software Corp. has released a new version of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform build 1325. The most important feature added is the hedging option, which until recently was only supported in MetaTrader 4. Now the platform permits users to open opposite positions of the same financial instrument.

The introduction of the widely demanded hedging option is expected to encourage more traders and brokers to switch to MetaTrader 5. There are no more reasons to continue using MetaTrader 4: finally traders have the ability to use the familiar hedging method combined with all the advantages of the powerful MetaTrader 5 platform.

"Why use two platforms, when you can access all the required functionality in one of them?" commented Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "MetaTrader 5 is not just a multi-asset platform, now it offers specific features for different financial markets. The netting trading system is available for exchange traders, while forex traders can use the familiar hedging mode."

Also, the new MetaTrader 5 version allows testing trading robots and technical indicators using real tick history. The new feature increases the accuracy of reports on Expert Advisor testing and optimization thus reducing the risk of loss for traders. Another innovation in MetaTrader 5 is the built-in chat, which allows discussing financial news and trading strategies with other traders straight from the platform.

The new platform version also features a more convenient user guide with more illustrations, explanatory diagrams, interactive images, and videos. The updated user guide contains less text while providing more useful information.

The new MetaTrader 5 for iPhone/iPad features hedging. This means that you can open opposite directed positions on a single currency pair.

Create a hedge account to access the position accounting system that is well known from MetaTrader 4. The system allows you to have multiple positions (including opposite directed ones) on a single symbol. If you have an open position for a certain symbol and execute a new deal, a new position is opened, while the existing one remains intact.

We are actively developing MetaTrader Virtual Hosting service by increasing the amount of data centers, and minimizing network latency to broker servers. This attracts traders seeking appropriate conditions for continuous operation of their robots and signal subscriptions. In a recent study, we found that clients of 190 brokers already use the service and rent virtual MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 copies.

The most important factor when choosing a VPS service is a ping to a broker's server. The lower its value, the higher the trade execution speed. We pay the utmost attention to this parameter and strive to minimize network delays. Our study shows that the majority of our service users have the ping to a broker of less than 2 ms.

More good news – this week we have launched a new virtual hosting data center in Moscow. Now, traders can rent a virtual copy of their platform with minimum delays to broker servers located in Russia.
