The company is a full-fledged STP broker regulated by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) with the [FXFlat](https://www.vpeag.com/) Wertpapierhandelsbank GmbH license. [CapTrader](https://www.captrader.com/en/) – which is a part of the company – offers stocks, options and futures trading since 2009. According to Rafael Alexander Neustadt, CEO of FXFlat, the [oneZero Hub](https://www.metaquotes.net/en/company/news/4776) gateway for interaction with Interactive Brokers is an additional argument in favor of MetaTrader 5 since it allows trading on major stock exchanges around the world. ![ The first MetaTrader 5 broker in Germany — FXFlat](https://www.metatrader5.com/c/17/0/mt5_fxflat__1.png) "FXFlat is the first Germany based broker offering MetaTrader 5 including the Web and Mobile Terminal solution", — says Rafael Neustadt. "Since our huge success in the last few years with MetaTrader 4, this is a logical step to expand the product offering. We will utilize the Multi Asset capabilities of MetaTrader 5 and the Interactive Brokers API to offer Futures and Stocks trading on MetaTrader 5 along with Forex we just launched within 2017". ![Rafael Alexander Neustadt, FXFlat](https://www.metatrader5.com/c/17/0/raphael_fxflat__1.png) *Rafael Alexander Neustadt, FXFlat* “Although MetaTrader 4 is still one of the most popular trading platforms in Germany, I see a definitive uptick in traders looking for MetaTrader 5 brokers", — adds Sebastian Hell, trader and owner of [meta-trader-5.de](https://meta-trader-5.de/), a blog about MetaTrader 5 in Germany. "Many traders I know like to use both platforms nowadays. I am sure that MetaTrader 5 has a very bright future amongst German traders because it offers more possibilities for traders to build and create complex trading systems as well as more markets like FX and on-exchange products". **Earlier publications:** - [New MetaTrader 5 Android build 1576 featuring position history](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1425) - [Another three brokers XM.com, IC Markets and Hedge Total switched to MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1416) - [MetaTrader 5 Android build 1576: Trading history features positions](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/releasenotes/android/1426) - [Beta version of the mobile MetaTrader 5 Web platform now available](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1424) - [MetaQuotes Software is a technology sponsor of the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC)](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1423)
