One of the main features that makes MetaTrader 5 superior to MetaTrader 4 is its architecture. A set of functions that were previously performed by one server, are logically divided between separate components in the new platform: a trade server; an access server; a history; and backup server. Such an organisation of internal interaction significantly increases the reliability and performance of the system. This translates to increased productivity, improved fault tolerance, greater stability and faster trade execution.

The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal is a perfectly equipped trader’s working tool that allows traders to create practically any trading system and actively manage it.  The platform contains all the trading functions a trader will ever need. All types of Orders are supported, with four types of trade Operation Execution available: Instant, Request, Market and Exchange.

For traders preferring to automate their trading, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is perfect. The MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user friendly. MQL5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

In MetaTrader 4, clients had the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN timeframes, but MetaTrader 5 introduces intermediate timeframes into the mix. Built-in indicators and graphical objects are used for quick analysis of quotes and trade decision-making. In summary, the terminal offers 3 types of charts, 21 timeframes and more than 70 analytical tools.

The terminal provides all the necessary tools needed to ensure full-fledged and flexible trading activities. With such a powerful trading arsenal, one can easily detect trends, various figures, entry-exit points and so much more, at just a click of the mouse.

Golder Markets Ltd., the London, UK-based global online trading and brokerage service, today announced it is launching the world’s first seamless trading share wallet that allows traders to trade multiple instruments on multiple platforms with infinite possibilities.

“Gone were the days when traders had to open one account for manual trading, one for auto trading, and another one for binary options. With At Golder Markets’ new trading shared wallet, one account will facilitate your trading Forex, CFD, Precious Metals, Commodities, Binary Options, Major Stocks and Indices,” said Marketing Director Damien Middleton.

With Golder Markets now holding the enviable position of being the world’s first brokerage firm to offer traders a seamless trading platform, forex traders will no longer need multiple accounts. “Now, one single account at Golder Markets allows trader to trade across multiple financial instruments on four different platforms,” noted Middleton.

“It is so easy and convenient, any novice trader can start trading,” he added.

With Golder Markets’ state-of-the-art trading technological platform, trading will become an integrated process that keeps in sync with the World’s most popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4), WebTrader, and Mobile Smartphone Trader.

“This new service provides the ultimate convenience for traders, whether trading at home, in office, or on the move. Now, they can have seamless interconnectivity for their trades,” said Middleton.

The rise of online trading has resulted in a massive influx of new traders. Forex newcomers need an application that allows them to discover and master the art of trading currencies without costing them a fortune in money and man hours. For this reason accessibility is the main emphasis of Metatrader 4 with an easy to use interface and a range of language options.

Another boon for newcomers is the possibility of figuring out effective trading strategies without bearing the losses that often accompany experimentation. Metatrader’s demo mode allows traders to do exactly that by enabling them to trade currencies against real time Forex data with ‘fake’ money to see how they would have worked out for real.

Further insight can be gained by playing around with Metatrader’s ‘electronic advisor’ feature. These enable traders to set alerts if some specified Forex event occurs, for example if the dollar drops below a certain value. Electronic advisors can also be programmed to make trades automatically so for example if the dollar drops to a certain value your electronic advisors can automatically start buying gold. Let the robots do the work!

Security is another top priority of Metatrader 4. Unfortunately Forex scams are a reality and in order to minimize your exposure to thieves and con-artists you need an application that keeps your precious data secure. Metatrader’s 128 bit security code is just the thing to help you sleep soundly at night.

Metatrader 4 is the by far the most popular online trading platform and this has more significant implications than what’s hot and what’s not. If you wish to communicate effectively with the greatest number of brokers you need to be using the same software and that means Metatrader is the only way to go.

MetaTrader is an electronic trading platform with automated trading capabilities; OANDA has licensed this software to be used with market-leading OANDA Spreads®. The OANDA fxTrade platform bridges directly to MetaTrader using custom technology, which helps keep costs low for traders because there are no third-party fees to link the fxTrade trading engine with the MT4 user interface. OANDA will not use the controversial MT4 Virtual Dealer plug-in, which goes against OANDA’s policies of transparency and fairness.

“OANDA has licensed MetaTrader software to offer traders more choice,” said Michael Stumm, CEO of OANDA Corporation. “Many of our clients who use automated trading strategies have asked us to support this popular trading platform, and I’m pleased to say we’re now able to offer them the best of both worlds.”
