The international broker has expanded its MetaTrader 5 offering. Company clients can now have access to 177 new ETFs on the Admiral.Invest account.

ETFs are investment funds traded in an exchange, much like stocks. Any ETF is an asset portfolio that tracks an index and is traded as a single security. An ETF share price follows the index it was created to copy.

Admiral Markets offering currently covers over 30 ETF categories including equity blends related to different regions, capitalization levels and industry segments, as well as ETFs tracking indices, commodities, agriculture, currencies and fixed income instruments.

In March 2018, the British broker added MetaTrader 5 to its platform offering, and later in May launched DJIA stocks trading via this platform. Having noticed a growing interest in this new offer from traders, Darwinex decided to launch the "hedge-fund as a service" model from MetaTrader 4 to MetaTrader 5.

Under this innovative model, traders perform trading operations on their brokerage account as normal while Darwinex quotes their strategy into the DARWIN investable asset. The risk is standardized and managed by Darwinex itself. A separate risk management layer protects the investor and enables an apple-to-apple comparison across trading strategies.

Mr Juan Colón, Darwinex

Mr Juan Colón, CEO of Darwinex, said, "Since adding the MetaTrader 5 platform to our brokerage offering, we have seen considerable interest from traders around the world. Extending our 'hedge fund as a service' model to additional platforms and asset classes was the logical step forward. The launch of new services for MetaTrader 5 traders is in line with our policy towards achieving the status of the leading innovative broker."

Estonia-based provider of high-grade technology solutions for forex brokers released a new addition to its portfolio of MetaTrader 5 products - PAMM (Percent Allocation Management Module). Since 2013, the company has developed a wide range of products for MetaTrader 4. Now, as the market switches to MetaTrader 5, Brokeree ships new solutions for MetaTrader 5 brokers. You can order Brokeree PAMM in the MetaTrader 5 AppStore — the store of ready-made broker software.

Andrey Kamyshanov, Brokeree Solutions

The PAMM solution for MetaTrader 5 has been built with end-user's preferences in mind. It provides user-friendly portals for investors and money managers, administrator web interface for comfortable configuration and no trading limitations for money managers.

To avoid server overload and execution latency with increasing trading volumes, the solution works with aggregated funds. Profits generated from trading are distributed among the investors based on the amount of their investment, according to the configured schedule. All trading data is displayed and integrated into trader's rooms web portals, enabling convenient money managers' performance monitoring. The PAMM-solution also includes a well thought-out functionality for commission calculations and a public website module with ratings and statistics features.

"Brokeree PAMM has been released to help MetaTrader 5 brokers organize asset management," explains Mr Andrey Kamyshanov, CEO of Brokeree Solutions. "We have taken into consideration a number of factors when developing the solution, such as performance, scalability, flexibility and end-customer orientation. We have created a robust solution allowing brokers to launch the money management service within a week without any extra effort."

Why you need to upgrade MetaTrader 5 right now, if you are using MQL5 and create trading robots:

1. In response to popular demand from traders, we have added the following functions for operations with timeseries: iTime, iOpen, iHigh, iLow, iClose, iVolume, iBars, iBarShift, iLowest, iHighest, iRealVolume, iTickVolume and iSpread. Now, developers can easily transfer their MetaTrader 4 applications code to the fifth generation platform, since these functions have been migrated from MQL4. Detailed descriptions and function codes are available in the MetaTrader 5 build 1860 announcement.
   
   
2. MQL5 applications can run faster due to the additional source code optimization during compilation. Recompile your programs with the new MetaEditor version to improve their performance.

   
   
   

   
   
   
3. We have completely updated the optimization cache operation in the Strategy Tester. In earlier versions, optimization cache was stored as one XML file. All Expert Advisor optimization passes, with specified testing settings, were recorded to this file. Therefore, the same file stored optimization results with different input parameters. Now, the optimization cache is stored as separate binary files, for each set of optimized parameters. Strategy Tester operations, involving the optimization cache, have become significantly faster due to the new format and smaller file size. This can be significantly noticeable when you resume a paused optimization pass.
   
   Viewing results of previous optimizations.
   The results of previously performed optimizations can be viewed right in the Strategy Tester, so there is no need to analyze large XML files using third-party software. Open the "Optimization results" tab, select an Expert Advisor and a file with the desired optimization cache. The list contains all Expert Advisor optimization cache files available on the disk. Optimization date, testing settings (symbol, timeframe and interval) and input parameters are shown for each file. You can additionally filter optimization results by the trade server.
   
   

   
   
   

   Recalculation of optimization criteria 'on the fly'
   The optimization criterion is a certain variable parameter, the value of which determines the quality of a tested set of inputs. The higher the value of the optimization criterion, the better the testing pass is considered to be.

   Previously, only one criterion selected before optimization start was calculated during optimization as such. You can now change the optimization criterion 'on the fly' from the results view mode — all values will be automatically recalculated in the Strategy Tester.
   
   
4. The new version allows manual setting of the deposit currency and leverage to be used during testing and optimization. In earlier versions, these parameters were set in accordance with the connected account, so they could only be changed by switching to other accounts.

   
   
   
   

5. The use of OpenCL is now allowed in testing agents. Previously, OpenCL devices were only allowed when testing on local agents. In the updated version, agents are allowed to use all available OpenCL devices (such as processors and video cards), both in the local network and in the MQL5 Cloud Network.

Six months ago, South Africa's cheapest online broker GT247.com replaced its ageing legacy trading platforms with MetaTrader 5. The adoption of the new platform enabled the company to meet the demands of local traders and to stay ahead of the competition in this highly competitive market.

"Since the launch of the platform six months ago, we have been receiving positive feedback about the ease of use and functionality of the platform," says Kurt Solomon, GT247.com Brand Manager. "Many of our legacy clients have returned to GT247.com because they are familiar with MetaTrader and we now have a lot more to offer."

Mr Kurt Solomon, GT247.com (Brand Manager)

The broker marks the following changes since the launch of MetaTrader 5:

• Profit after tax has increased by 105% *
  
• Trading revenue has increased by 14.5%
• Trading activity has increased by 4%
• Funded accounts have grown by 36%

*Compared to prior year interim results (September, 2016 - February, 2017).

"The launch of the new MetaTrader 5 platform has received positive vibes by our partners, clients and staff, this adds even more to our bespoke offering" adds Mr Kurt Solomon. "This has also opened up global partnerships and opportunities with leading players in the fintech industry."

The London-based ECN broker announced the launch of MetaTrader 5 which is to become available to all existing and new accounts.

— MetaTrader 5 represents the next platform generation and is a quantum leap ahead, of the MetaTrader 4 platform, in both performance and functionality perspectives, — says Mr Graeme Watkins, CEO of Valutrades commenting on the platform selection. — While we have been aware of the MetaTrader 5 platform for some time now, the explosive growth in user demand over the last six months has made it an obvious and much needed addition to Valutrades product offering.

The broker eventually plans to offer a full suite of features for trading Forex, commodities and futures. 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!
