"[The latest MetaTrader version](https://www.metaquotes.net/en/metatrader5/brokers?utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaigne=en.news.vantage.fx) is important for professional traders since it offers hedging. This is a strong argument in favor of the updated platform. The historically established cooperation between Vantage FX and MetaQuotes Software means that we always remain at the forefront of present-day technologies and innovations providing an advanced product to our traders". "The natural progression for the retail forex trading community is going to be toward MetaTrader 5", Mr. Bily continues. "As a result, we want to be well positioned early to accommodate our clients’ needs through this shift. The MetaTrader 5 platform looks and feels like MetaTrader 4 but truly is a next generation platform for Vantage FX clients. With the ability to trade forex, commodities and indices markets together, the MetaTrader 5 platform now gives clients the ability to view our liquidity provider’s market depth. Adding the position accounting systems of both netting and hedging, traders on MetaTrader 5 can also maintain full risk management control over their account at all times". **Earlier publications:** - [Tradologic switches to MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1460) - [MetaTrader 5 Build 1640: creating and testing custom symbols](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/releasenotes/terminal/1459) - [Custom financial instruments in the new MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1457) - [HUBECN releases liquidity aggregator for MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1456) - [Phillip Futures becomes the first broker in Singapore to offer MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1454)
