Technology provider VT Systems has announced the launch of a MT4 server side plugin to integrate its visual based VT Trader platform on Metatrader platforms. Learning more about the product, Forex Magnates spoke to Yury Arane, Program Manager at VT Systems.
Who is your target market?
Our target market are MT4 brokers that would like to differentiate themselves from the rest of the field by offering a different client side trading user interface (application) while maintaining the existing MT4 back end.
What makes the new VT4 different to the MT4i UI launched a couple of years back (IBFX 1st to launch)?
Our offering is very different for MT4i: it is a desktop application -- not a web based service
it is a full featured trading application: it receives and displays rates feed and charts, displays positions/orders, allows to place all sorts of orders, does technical analysis, runs indicators and trading systems, etc. -- in short does everything that any trading application would do,
What are the 100+ automated trading systems that you mention in your press release? And what language do the strategies run on?
Trading systems are similar to EAs in a sense that they are scripts running within a client side trading application. Our trading systems are written in a simple but powerful proprietary language (different from MQL) and have coding and testing facilities much like MT4. We have literally thousands of these systems pre-coded by our staff and user community.
Are there plans for a mobile platform?
VT Trader is a desktop Windows application. We do have a mobile application for MT4 but it is a separate product.
