All products will be available for standard and ECN accounts. — The combination of the massive speed boost of the new platform, along with the oneZero liquidity hub and our ECN account type, will create an institutional grade execution experience, much faster compared to what has been previously available to retail clients, — Mr Watkins adds. — We are really excited to see our clients take advantage of this! **Earlier publications:** - [MetaTrader 5 receives updated DMA solutions from oneZero in the Marketplace](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1776) - [Darwinex offers trading stocks of 30 companies from Dow Jones Industrial Average via MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1775) - [ImpacTech releases intelligent data-driven CRM for MetaTrader 5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1774) - [Admiral Markets adds 4,000 new stocks for MetaTrader 5 accounts](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1773) - [USGFX benefits from the surge of interest for MetaTrader 5 in Australia](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/news/1772)
