Introducing native floating leverage support in MetaTrader 5 — here's how it can benefit your business

MetaTrader 5, starting from build 4150, introduces floating leverage support in the administrator terminal, enabling brokers to adjust leverage settings depending on the situation and company policies. With floating leverage, you can flexibly adjust the required margin size depending on the open position volumes. On the one hand, this offers smaller traders the opportunity to utilize maximum leverage, and on the other hand, it reduces the risks when dealing with larger clients. This solution is integrated into the MetaTrader 5 trading platform, and you can start using it immediately at no additional cost.

Introducing native floating leverage support in MetaTrader 5


Margin leverage is the additional capital that brokers provide to traders, enabling them to execute operations in financial markets. For example, if a trader has USD 10,000 of own funds and trades with a leverage of 1:100, they can open positions of up to USD 1,000,000. Brokerage funds can only be used in trading and cannot be withdrawn. This approach significantly amplifies potential profits for traders while also increasing the broker's revenue.

While some brokerage companies have previously worked with floating leverages in MetaTrader 5, they had to use third-party solutions, which caused certain inconveniences due to incomplete compatibility with the platform. Our solution is free from any compatibility issues and offers a range of advantages opening up even more opportunities for your business development.

Key features

Native integration. Developed in-house by MetaQuotes, our solution is integrated into the platform, ensuring accurate interaction with all components. The new functionality does not affect speed, reliability, or any other MetaTrader 5 operation aspects.

Transparency. The entire process is transparent to the brokerage company, which completely manages leverage settings. More importantly, end-users also benefit from full transparency, as they can view all conditions directly within their terminals.

Compatibility with trading robots. Our solution is fully compatible with trading robots, ensuring accurate margin calculations by algorithmic programs. This unique advantage cannot be achieved through third-party solutions, which may interact incorrectly with the trading platform, leading to the inaccurate execution of trading strategies.

Automation capabilities. Using Automations, an integrated service in the platform, you can enable automatic rule adjustments. Changes will be applied automatically under certain predefined conditions. For example, leverage can be automatically reduced an hour before trading closing time, when market liquidity is low, to mitigate potential trading abuse. Such automation can assist in planning risk reduction strategies and in promptly responding to any significant events that pose potential threats to your business.

Flexibility. Leverage settings can be applied to individual symbols or symbol groups, allowing you to apply common settings for the symbols in which you expect changes. Create multiple rule sets and switch between them automatically or manually as needed.

Cost-free. There's no need for any investments, whether financial or time-related. Configure the required rules in just a few clicks and benefit from new opportunities without any additional costs or complexities.

MetaTrader 5 now features a complete onboarding lifecycle, from a banner click to the first trade

In the latest version, MetaTrader 5 introduces the integrated payments service which enables traders to conveniently replenish their accounts directly within the trading platform. This service not only enhances platform convenience but also represents a culmination of a large strategic direction – customer onboarding. We have been gradually implementing new platform capabilities, and now the entire cycle of interaction with new users can be organized using the internal tools provided in MetaTrader 5. The challenge of effective onboarding is especially relevant for brokerage companies, given the growing competition and the reduced time window for decision-making. Assist users entering your ecosystem and ensure they don't have to waste time searching, figuring out complexities or navigating through the process blindly. The key strategy is to guide clients smoothly, yet confidently, from the initial click on your promotional banner to their first trade.

MetaTrader 5 now features a complete onboarding lifecycle, from a banner click to the first trade

How MetaTrader 5 helps organize efficient onboarding

Start by enabling the confirmation of contact details and by allowing the opening of demo accounts and preliminary real accounts directly from the terminal. Within the trading platform, you can request the confirmation of phone numbers and emails. Utilize this feature to maintain the integrity of your client database with accurate information and to establish a valid communication channel with each client.

1. Deep links

The first thing users see in the application is a wizard guiding them to open an account on your server

Right from the start, incorporate tracking tags into the links that lead your clients to download the platform. This allows accurate tracking of installation sources, even when users come from the App Store or Google Play. By using such deep links, you can determine the most efficient advertising channels and identify the best-performing advertisement types. Furthermore, you can set up automated opening of demo and real accounts. Users will not need to search for available options as the first thing they see in the application is a wizard guiding them to open an account on your server. This streamlines the user journey to a real account, resulting in maximum lead conversion.

2. KYC

User verification for your company security

The next important step is user verification for your company security. Built-in platform tools can automate up to 95% of data processing. This ensures an error-free, attentive, and, most importantly, swift experience for your clients at each stage. Users are only required to provide the requested information and send photos of the necessary documents. With this service, you can process 2,500 types of documents from 150 countries and assess risks according to local and international regulations. The level of personal data protection complies with the requirements in Europe (GDPR), the USA and Asia (PDPA).

3. Automations

In the context of onboarding, Automations is practically irreplaceable

The Automations service is capable of performing almost any task that you assign to it. Entrust your regularly performed activities to the service which will instantly and accurately execute every required action. In the context of onboarding, Automations is practically irreplaceable: welcome emails, reminders of the next step, technical notifications and stimulating messages. These automated processes efficiently guide clients through every stage of the sales funnel. The service will send messages without delays upon certain events, keeping your clients well-informed and on track to complete all required steps.

Provide guidance and assistance to customers who have just registered or are transitioning to real trading. Automated mailings for new clients improve user onboarding, facilitate real account opening, and encourage traders to make more deposits.

4. Integrated payments

Effectively introducing the client to your offering is as important as the initial engagement. While it may seem that the customer is already inside the sales funnel and is about to open an account, consider the fact that about 70% of users abandon a site if they find the product information confusing. According to the recent Forbes research, the average bounce rate in 2023 is around 50%, which means that half of the global audience doesn't interact with websites beyond the first page. Furthermore, 88% of users will never return to a site after a negative experience. That is why it is important to pay extra attention to helping clients get started. MetaTrader 5 offers fast, reliable and secure solutions to help you build an efficient onboarding system.

Traders are not willing to wait longer than 4 ms — MetaQuotes study

MetaQuotes' research focused on traders utilizing virtual servers for automated trading. The analysis covered the users of MetaTrader VPS, the virtual hosting service for automatic round-the-clock trading with minimal network delays. The results have been compiled into infographics to present a comprehensive overview of the user audience.

Traders are not willing to wait longer than 4 ms — MetaQuotes study

One of the key findings of the research concerns the network latency between the virtual machine and the broker's server: 86% of traders prefer working with ultra-low latencies, not exceeding 4 ms. This preference can be easily explained, as high speed ensures predictable and stable operation of algorithms running on virtual machines. This minimizes the likelihood of price changes occurring before the order reaches the server.

Another part of the study concerning VPS purposes reveals that trading robots are more than seven times more popular than trading signal subscriptions. Thus, 86% of users run automated systems on virtual machines, and only 12% use hosting to copy signals. The results also show the geographical distribution of the most popular trading servers: 75% of them are located in just three countries. Additionally, a curious revelation was made regarding the geographical statistics of traders utilizing VPS: the top 3 countries are located on different continents.

PM Financials brokerage company has introduced the MetaTrader 5 trading platform.

"I would characterize MetaTrader 5 as an inexhaustible resource for any broker," says Mr Fahim Rashid, CEO of PM Financials. "The platform is a ready-made and efficient business solution. It is even possible to manage an account via the terminal with no need to sign in to third-party services. The built-in payment service allows users to safely top up accounts directly in trading terminals using cards, electronic payment systems and bank transfers. The Automations service increases the efficiency and reduces the human factor influence. We are committed in using every opportunity to develop and expand our business".

Mr Fahim Rashid added that PM Financials employees completed training to master all the intricacies of working with the MetaTrader 5 trading platform. "Training conducted by MetaQuotes experts helped us in skipping the adaptation stage. We learned how to quickly set up the terminal and start trading. Each of our employees learned how to create simple Expert Advisors based on technical indicators, as well as how to test and improve them. MetaQuotes is actively working to update and improve its trading platform. The company’s team promptly and regularly informs all MetaTrader 5 users about innovations allowing us to improve our work," says PM Financials CEO.

PM Financials plans to launch MetaTrader 5 Sponsored VPS in the near future. The service will help the brokerage customers ensure stable operation and avoid long shutdowns, for example, due to poor internet connection. Hosting can be activated directly in the terminal. Each user receives up to 16 GB of disk space, up to 3 GB of RAM and several physical CPU cores. These resources are sufficient for testing several trading strategies simultaneously. PM Financials team believes that these advantages will attract new traders.
