In October 2011 we triumphantly announced the release of the MetaTrader 5 for Android mobile trading platform. With this trading platform anyone has the opportunity to trade on financial markets, watch out for quotes in real time and view the history of performed deals.

However, the platform development has not stopped and a serious work has been done to expand the product possibilities. As a result, the users of MetaTrader 5 for Android have received the charts and the application itself has been optimized for tablet PCs powered by Android.

"We have never stopped our work on enhancing the platform," said Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "We have listened carefully to our customers' wishes and have decided to optimize the application specifically for Android powered tablet PCs that become increasingly popular among traders. The charts have also been implemented in the application. That will allow traders to visually keep track of symbol quotes instantly responding to any changes of the market situation. Thus, it has become even more convenient to trade using Android powered mobile devices".

After downloading MetaTrader 5 Android for free you will get a powerful tool for trading in financial markets. This compact, practical and reliable platform will always be with you, wherever you are. 

Six months ago we announced successful certification of the MetaTrader 5 platform by the RTS stock exchange. However, we continued to develop our platform to expand to other exchanges. And now we are pleased to announce that the MetaTrader 5 trading platform has been certified for the Singapore Mercantile Exchange. The platform now meets all the technical requirements proved by tests run by the SMX, and can connect to the exchange via a special gateway. In addition, our company has received the ISV status (independent software vendor) from the Asian stock exchange.

Now, any broker working on the Singapore Mercantile Exchange, can use our trading platform to provide services to their traders. "It is not our last step in this direction," Eric Lee, the head of our Asia-Pacific office, said. "We have successfully created a high-quality product that meets all the requirements of the Singapore Mercantile Exchange. But we will continue our efforts to offer even more opportunities in our platform." This year the list of supported stock exchanges will be extended. Follow the news!

Today, MetaQuotes Software Corp. has launched a new service MQL5 Cloud Network. This is a cloud computing network, which connects computers of many users around the world and distributes resources among them. This network will be useful for those who need additional power for their tasks, and for those who can provide such power for a fee.

"The MQL5 Cloud Network allows traders to quickly optimize their automated trading," - said Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "Owners of free resources that are involved in the new service get a new source of income. Thus, the MQL5 Cloud Network builds bridges between those who need productive capacities and the owners of spare resources."

The launch of the MQL5 Cloud Network is a logical step in the strategic program aimed at accelerating optimization. First, remote testing agents were added in the terminal, through which multi-threaded testing became possible. This allowed traders to greatly increase the speed of Expert Advisor optimization. With the launch of the MQL5 Cloud Network, they can finally forget about long hours and days spent waiting for the completion of testing. And most importantly - the processing power of the network is available not only to traders, but also to anyone who needs additional power. For example, for research involving complex calculations.

To start working in the MQL5 Cloud Network, you only need to download and install the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Agent. Optimization of complex trading robots requiring a lot of computation is no longer a problem!

Today is October 3, 2011 and Automated Trading Championship 2011 has started. Completed are all the preparatory steps: all Expert Advisors of Championship participants have been finally checked and approved. This year 395 trading robots will fight for the 80 000 US dollars prize.

Top three places in terms of EAs allowed to the competition this year are shared by Russia (32,8%), Ukraine (9,5%) and China (5,3%). United States of America were on the third place last year. Now this country has descended to the seventh place sharing it with Indonesia. Nine EAs from Italy have surprisingly emerged in our top ten! By this criterion the Italians will be competing on equal terms with representatives of Bulgaria, while yielding one place to Japan.

We are glad to announce that MetaTrader 5 for Android will be released in this late summer. You'll be able to trade Forex and Stock Markets using smartphones and tablet PCs powered by OS from Google.

MetaTrader 5 for Android release schedule will be the same as for the iPhone mobile trading platform. In the initial version traders will be able to receive real-time quotes, trade and view history of trading operations.

Charts and Technical Analysis will be available in subsequent versions. Stay tuned for news!

In late March we announced the launch of the beta version of the new Market service on MQL5.com. Now, when most of the work is completed, we are opening a fully-fledged Market of ready MQL5 programs. We are grateful to all who participated in the beta testing – we have tried to implement most of your suggestions and comments.

Starting today, any developer of MQL5 programs can register as a Seller in this service. After moderation, the programs will be available to all the registered users of the MQL5.community.

With the Market, ordinary traders can easily purchase MQL5 programs required for their daily activities: Expert Advisors, indicators, trade panels and various analytical tools. Now you don’t need to look for MQL programmers, order required programs and patiently wait until they are ready. Simply go to the Market and find a ready solution.

For the developers of MQL5 programs, the Market is an exciting opportunity to capitalize on their skills. Their knowledge of how to develop Expert Advisors can earn them significant income, incase their programs are popular among the user of the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal. The higher the number of the product downloads is, the more money will appear on the developer’s account.

With our new service you may stop worrying about the safety and efficiency of programs. All the developments published in the Market are subject to strict moderation – our specialists will carefully examine each application, filtering out all malicious and non-working programs.

It should be taken into account that the first few weeks you will not find a wide assortment of programs in the Market – this service is only starting to gain momentum. However, developers have already started to submit their programs and accumulation of a large number of offers in the Market is just a matter of time.

We gradually expand the boundaries of automated trading from a purely professional category letting it spread to the masses. Obviously, automated trading requires much more place than just a community of MQL programmers. The release of the MQL5 Wizard made it available to ordinary traders without programming skills. Furthermore, the launch of the Market will accelerate this process.

We invite all developers of MQL programs to the Market – fill out an application, register and sell your programs. You have done a lot to learn the MQL5 language, and now it’s time to reap the rewards!

Today MetaQuotes Software Corp. has launched the Automated Trading Championship 2011. It means that soon you will see an exciting battle of trading robots for the prize of $80,000. Once again, different strategies underlying Expert Advisors will come together in a fierce battle. And once again the attention of the traders community will be directed to the dramatic change of leaders, the sudden rises of recent outsiders and unexpected falls of acknowledged masters.

Registration for the Championship starts today and will continue till September 23, 2011. During this period, anyone can submit an application and compete for the prize of $80,000. Participation in the Championship is free.

This year’s Championship will be even more interesting and exciting than ever before. The MQL-developers have had enough time to study the new features of the MQL5 language and are ready to enter the new Championship fully armed. In addition, the appearance of the MQL5 Wizard will significantly increase the number of participants, because now the development of Expert Advisors is available to anyone, and not only to experienced MQL-programmers.

“Over 300 Expert Advisors participated in the previous Championship, -says Stanislav Starikov, the Championship Jury member. – This year the number will increase substantially – we expect to receive several thousands of applications for participation. The reason for this surge lies in the recently released MQL5 Wizard, using which any trader without programming skills can easily create a trading robot. Although, this would not guarantee a victory in the Championship, of course”.

Trading robots written in MQL5 are allowed to enter the competition. The Championship will start on the 3rd of October and will end on the 23rd of December.

The Automated Trading Championship 2011 is sponsored by MIG Bank, Go Markets Pty Ltd and Vantage FX. The media sponsor is Forex-TSD.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the MQL5 Wizard. This version contains an important function: now trading robots can be created based on different combinations of symbols. This innovation allows using sophisticatedanalysis and getting more accurate signals. Ultimately this will increase the number and variety of automated trading programs created using the Wizard. Currently the MQL5 Wizard includes about 20 trading signals that can be combined to produce a variety of different algorithms.

With the release of the Wizard the distance between a trader and an MQL5 Programmer has been reduced to a minimum. These new features open up new horizons to ordinary traders. All the exciting technologies that used to be the prerogative of experienced EA developers, are now available to the large army of traders. All that you need for creating your own robot is the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and a few minutes. In just a few clicks you can create a trading robot based on any elaborate strategy.

This is a truly revolutionary step in the development of automated trading. Never before has this technology gone beyond the scope of MQL-developers. Now the rich functionality of the MQL5 environment is available to any trader. Install the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and start writing your own Expert Advisors. And it does not matter whether you have programming skills or not.

"We have decided to make automated trading available to a wide range of traders , - says Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. - We in MetaQuotes have done a lot to catalyze the development of automated trading. But the most important step is just beginning – automated trading goes beyond the community of MQL-developers and is becoming finally available to the masses!"

Along with the MetaTrader 5 iPhone, we are developing a mobile terminal for the Android OS. Some features of the new terminal are ready, and soon it will be released. In the meantime, we are publishing the first screenshots of the MetaTrader 5 for Android:

   

Quite recently, a mobile version of the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal for iPhone has been released. With this release, traders have received an exciting opportunity to trade from anywhere in the world. But we are not resting on our laurels, and we are moving forward to improve the mobile terminal.

Soon charts will appear in the MetaTrader 5 Mobile. With the new version, traders will be able to conduct trade operations and visually monitor real-time quotes. However, this is not the last innovation - this is only an interim step towards a mobile terminal equipped with technical analysis tools. Immediately after the release of the version with charts, we will start developing a terminal with indicators and graphical objects. With the new features, the MetaTrader 5 Mobile will provide the widest opportunities to traders, opening a new insight into mobile trading.

The features of the MetaTrader 5 Mobile Terminal continue to expand. So follow the news to keep abreast of the latests developments.

Development of a new version of the MetaTrader 5 iPhone mobile terminal is in full swing. It already includes charts allowing traders to visually track price movements. Soon indicators and graphical objects will appear in the mobile terminal.

While the developers are working selflessly to improve the mobile terminal, we want to show you the intermediate result. Different types of charts, a wide choice of timeframes and flexible scaling - all these features are already available in the MetaTrader 5 for iPhone.
