The increasing adoption of MetaTrader 5

The MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms were developed by MetaQuotes and have become an industry standard for forex trading. Although MetaTrader 4 remains as the dominant trading platform between the two versions, brokers are increasingly adopting the MT5 platform, which expands demand for the offering and enhances the platform’s features.

In recent months a suite of brokers and trading providers have adopted the platform. As Finance Magnates reported exclusively, AvaTrade added the MT5 platform to its offering earlier this month, as did VIPTRADE in October. In the same month, Australian based broker AETOS began offering the platform to its clients, as did Chilean broker MercadosG in September.

In addition to launching the new Zero.MT5 account, Admiral Markets also revealed this week that is has renamed its existing account types, in order to better reflect their features and benefits.
