MetaQuotes Software will present its latest developments at the international iFX EXPO Asia 2017 B2B event to be held on February 21-23 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. The event will gather more than 700 participants. Our company is going to act as a Workshop Sponsor during the event.

At the Expo, we will highlight the new features in all versions of the MetaTrader 5 multi-asset platform and share its further development plans. We believe, this information will be of interest for iFX EXPO Asia visitors since the era of MetaTrader 4 is coming to an end and the fifth generation of our trading platform is gradually moving to the forefront.

By the end of 2016, the number of brokers offering trading on financial markets via MetaTrader 5 reached 100. This massive migration has changed the landscape of the industry leaving its participants with numerous questions: "Why are brokers switching to MetaTrader 5?”, "Why is MetaTrader 5 better than MetaTrader 4?", "Should we also launch MetaTrader 5?" We will answer these questions during our workshop "MetaTrader 5 Latest Developments" — visitors of the iFX EXPO Asia event will know our plans for MetaTrader 5 platform and how it is going to affect the brokerage business.

Besides, we are going to announce the launch of a new project — trader coupons that allow paying for the MetaTrader platform built-in services. Brokers will be able to use the coupons to support their traders wishing to buy a virtual hosting, a Market robot or a subscription to a trading signal. Find out more about the project at our booth.

We invite everyone to visit the booth #1. See you at the event!

Recently, a number of major brokers, including ActivTrades, Just2Trade, NAS Broker and Halifax Investment Services, announced the launch of MetaTrader 5 with hedging. This trend was supported by other prominent market players: GLOBAL FX, Global Equity Brokers (GEB) and Forexer Limited. The number of such companies is growing on a weekly basis — totally, more than 100 brokers from over the world already offer the flagship platform for trading on financial markets to their clients.

"We, in NAS Broker, are glad to present our clients with MetaTrader 5 — a professional multi-asset next-generation trading platform," says Oleg Sergeev, Senior Analyst at NAS Broker. "Multiple exciting technological innovations allow professional traders to increase their trading efficiency right now: the advanced MQL5 programming language, the MQL5 Cloud network, the new timeframes and the main features – the depth of market and the new strategy tester. In NAS Broker, we support both netting and hedging accounts suiting the needs of various trading strategies".

"Just2Trade Online focuses on high-tech brokerage solutions for all major world markets," notes Evgeny Zhilin, Head of Operations at Just2Trade Online, explaining the company's choice of the platform. "While having such a powerful product as MetaTrader 5, we do our best to make maximum use of it. Currently, Just2Trade clients have direct access to over 9 000 tools on NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, FSE, MOEX, CME, NYMEX, ICE, EUREX, as well as the Forex market from a single account on the MetaTrader 5 platform".

"Halifax Investment Services, an Australian and New Zealand licensed market maker, is proud to offer MetaTrader 5 to its clients and global White Label partners", says Jonathan Schneider, Head of Sales for Halifax. "We offer both exchange traded and OTC products via MetaTrader 5, thus fully revealing its true multi-asset nature. MetaTrader 5 allows Halifax and its White Label partners to compete on all fronts".

"The addition of hedging meets the aspirations of many traders, current MetaTrader 5 users as well as others," adds Ricardo Evangelista, International Desk Manager at ActivTrades. "We believe it will appeal to many, including those currently using MetaTrader 4. From the early days, following the launch of MetaTrader 5, the request for hedging has been a constant. It was something desired by traders interested in exploring the potential of the platform but put off by the restriction on hedging. Now that is available we expect to see an increase in the demand for MetaTrader 5".

Following numerous client requests, we have improved protection of accounts against unauthorized access in the MetaTrader 5 web platform. The enhanced protection includes the two-factor authentication using one-time passwords and the ability to change master and investor passwords.

In order to enable the two-factor authentication, launch the MetaTrader 5 mobile application. Log in and choose the OTP generator option in the Settings window. The One-time password (OTP) generator can bind all your trading accounts and automatically generate a unique one-time six-digit password for each account. Enter the generated password when logging in to the web platform. Congratulations! Your trade account is now secured.

Moreover, the updated MetaTrader 5 web platform allows you to change master and investor passwords. Take this opportunity to create an easy-to-remember personal ID.

Another important featured innovation is the auto generation of demo accounts. Now, you can launch the MetaTrader 5 Web platform from any browser and start trading Forex, Stocks or Futures financial instruments immediately.

The MQL4 language for programming trading strategies leaped 77 positions up in the TIOBE's language popularity index. MQL4 debuted as TIOBE's No.118 in December '14 and has jumped to the 41st position by November '16. It should be noted that the index authors treat both MQL4 and MQL5 as one MQL4 language.

TIOBE is the most popular index of programming languages, showing the language ranking dynamics in addition to its current position. The index is updated once a month showing what languages are becoming more popular, and what languages lose their positions. The rating calculation method is described in details here.

The main criterion is the number of search engine results for queries containing the name of the language. The more often MQL4/MQL5 is requested in Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia and YouTube, the higher the language position in the index. 77 positions up for 2 years is an impressive leap, which is an evidence of a growing popularity of trading robot development for the MetaTrader platforms.

We want to thank all users who support algorithmic trading and the MQL4/MQL5 languages!
