Software developer Tools for Brokers has announced the launch of a new plugin for brokers using the MetaTrader 5 suite by MetaQuotes. The Swap Changer application enables the automation of the process of changing the swap rates that brokers charge their clients.

That results in changes across the platform that can be time consuming for dealer room employees. More importantly, the automatic adjustment prevents human errors such as when the broker doesn’t reflect the interest rate change in a timely manner.

Although it is not the most time-consuming task, as interest rates changes in the current economic environment have become quite rare, the automation of this process can save brokers some time and money.

Tools for Brokers is gradually expanding its product list for MetaTrader 5 in the wake of the ongoing transition, a change which MetaQuotes is encouraging for all brokers using its trading platforms.
