FX Portal Confirms It Operates By The fxbook: Response to MetaQuotes Allegations of Hacking Published

In a somewhat delayed reaction to last week’s notice posted on MetaQuotes broker support site urging brokers to desist from using third party signal providers, Myfxbook has provided its take on the situation which involved allegations by MetaQuotes that such platforms facilitate hacking of a MetaTrader 4 protocol and therefore violate the terms of the software license.

The message to users cites the reason for the blocking of Myfxbook’s servers by MetaQuotes as being due to the “high load created on their server), and advises that the automatic update has now been removed from Myfxbook’s offering, but apart from this, it has full functionality. This represents a contrast to the response proffered by Tradency, one of the other firms cited, in which the company announced its intention to cease working with MetaQuotes the same day as the allegations were made.

We believe our servers got blocked simply because of the load we've been creating on their servers. This issue can be simply solved with a dedicated API from MetaQuotes - we've asked this several times for the past few years, always with a negative answer.”

“I would like to make it clear that we have not hacked any protocols, we have not been contacted by MetaQuotes before we got blocked, nor we were able to contact them to get to the bottom of this - that is their decision which we respect and therefore no longer offer auto update option” concluded Mr Rekun.
