MQL5 Cloud Network reaches the capacity of 34,000 cores

Over the course of 10 years of MetaQuotes distributed network existence, it has seen the successful completion of 12,137,187,332 tasks.

MQL5 Cloud Network reaches the capacity of 34,000 cores

MQL5 Cloud Network was launched on October 14, 2011 to arrange the exchange of computing resources between those who need them, and those who can provide idle CPU time on their computers. Over the 10 years of operation, the network has reached a unique capacity of 34,000 test agents (CPU cores available online for testing trading hypotheses). Anyone can sell the capacities of their agents and thus earn money for their MQL5.community account.

MQL5 Cloud Network is used in conjunction with MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester in the MetaTrader 5 client terminal. The Strategy Tester is used to optimize trading systems developed in MQL5 programming language with the help of backtests — running trading strategies on historical data before using them in real trading. In total, the network has successfully completed 12,137,187,332 tasks since its launch.

Among other things, tests on historical data are used by analysts of quantum investment funds, in which human intervention is gradually decreasing, in order to increase the number of trading deals closed with the highest possible profit. The unique feature of MQL5 Cloud Network is the ability to conduct multiple backtests. The execution speed of all passes is reduced from several days and hours, to a few minutes.

In addition to the cloud network, MetaQuotes has been developing a unique community of professional algorithmic traders for 17 years. MQL5.com has a marketplace featuring 21,000 ready-made trading robots and technical indicators, as well as a freelance market, where professional developers have completed more than 83,000 application development orders.

Exclusive Capital launches fractional shares through MetaTrader 5

Exclusive Capital, an EU regulated broker, has announced the launch of a new asset class, Fractional Shares, based on the MetaTrader 5 platform. As stated by the company representatives, investors will receive better control over their portfolio, along with more accurate diversification capabilities. Fractional shares are already available on the trading platform, fully complementing the company's offering.

Mr. Lambros Lambrou, Managing Director & Co-Founder Exclusive Capital

Mr. Lambros Lambrou, Managing Director & Co-Founder Exclusive Capital, commented on the launch: "It has been a natural evolution for Exclusive Capital to add fractional shares to the existing robust product offering. This signifies our commitment in offering a complete solution to our clients, all within the MetaTrader 5 system, with which our customers are familiar." As Mr. Lambrou said, the new asset class is an evolution rather than a revolution. Fractional shares compliment Exclusive Capital's extensive offering for a true multi-asset experience.

In August, the award-winning broker added over 5,000 new US-based shares and ETFs which can be traded on a fractional basis. "The main advantage of fractional shares is their limitless capabilities in diversifying over a truly immense range of instruments, without the worry of overexposure in a single share due to its high price" Mr. Peter Leonidou, Chief Sales Officer of Exclusive Capital, added. "Being able to invest exactly in the ratios, which investors and investment managers want, gives them complete control and enhanced rebalancing capabilities."

Exclusive Capital is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). The company operates in accordance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) of the European Union.

MetaTrader 5 extends its lead over MetaTrader 4

The MetaTrader 5 trading servers utilization by brokers is increased by a factor of 1.5, compared to the previous platform version ones. According to our latest study, the percent utilization of the MetaTrader 4 servers has dropped to 36.7%. This is an expected dynamic change: back in June 2021, we reported that MetaTrader 5 had become more popular than MetaTrader 4 among brokerage companies, and the trend has been increasing since then.

MetaTrader 5 extends its lead over MetaTrader 4

Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes Ltd, has commented on the new statistics: "This is a logical and predictable result. MetaTrader 5 is a technologically advanced platform which offers the widest possible opportunities to users, and assists companies in solving business tasks of any complexity level. Furthermore, we expect a complete replacement of MetaTrader 4, amid the rapidly growing popularity of MetaTrader 5."

MetaQuotes' specialists believe that the growth in popularity is mainly due to the new Pay as You Go model and to a number of important MetaTrader 5 updates, which have been released over the past year.

The most noticable updates include but are not limited to:

  • The ability to administer cluster machines directly from the administrator terminal
  • Expanded capabilities of the Automations service
  • A new section for managing Integrations
  • New web integration capabilities

Does your broker offer free VPS for algorithmic trading?

Does your broker offer free VPS for algorithmic trading?

The popularity of algorithmic and social trading keeps growing, as is confirmed by our website statistics: every month, our users purchase thousands of automated trading robots from the MQL5.com Market and subscribe to thousands of signals. Naturally, brokers have paid attention to this large audience of potential clients.

To attract more users, companies create new offerings for traders utilizing robots and trading signals. One of the most efficient strategies, concerns the availability of a free of charge VPS for round-the-clock trading — in this case, brokers provide servers for algorithmic trading at their own expense. To assist companies in sponsoring hosting servers for their traders, we have launched a new service entitled "Sponsored Virtual Hosting for MetaTrader 5".

With this service, any broker can offer a free virtual machine to their traders, according to an individual, commercially viable strategy. For example, RoboForex offers free VPS to the clients who open a verified MetaTrader 5 account and deposit USD 500. The company representatives believe that the service gives traders the opportunity to extend their trading horizons. "This is an extremely important point for us because the availability and quality of our services is the priority," explains Mr. Robert Stephenson, Chief Business Officer of RoboForex. "We believe that our joint efforts will boost customer interest in trading."

Sponsored Virtual Hosting for MetaTrader 5

Our native ready-made specialized MetaTrader VPS solution for social and algorithmic trading has become extremely popular among our trading platform users. According to our statistics, users have rented hundreds of thousands of servers for failure-free,round-the-clock trading.

Why is our VPS solution so attractive for users? Because it offers better trade execution times by ensuring a network latency of less than 5 milliseconds for 82% of all brokerage servers. More than a dozen hosting points are located around the world, and provide optimal access to trading servers: London, Moscow, Amsterdam, Falkenstein, Frankfurt, New York, Chicago, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mumbai, Sao Paulo and Johannesburg.

57% of broker servers can be accessed with a ping of less than 2 ms

57% of broker servers can be accessed with a ping of less than 2 ms

Our servers are hosted by reliable providers to guarantee a maximum uptime of 99.99%. You can be certain that your strategies will run consistently 24/7. Smart resource allocation algorithms ensure that each trading platform receives enough resources on a virtual machine: up to 3 GB of RAM, up to 16 GB of hard disk space and several CPUs are allocated on demand.

Furthermore, MetaTrader VPS does not require extra connection or configuration steps: it is a built-in solution which can be managed directly from the trading platform. Robots and subscriptions can be easily migrated to a virtual server in a few clicks.

Of course, you can rent a VPS directly via your terminal for USD 15 per month. Even in this case, you will benefit from the MetaTrader VPS subscription, as its cost can be completely paid off by better execution times. You can additionally benefit from a long-term rent with a monthly fee of only USD 13.17. However, we all like to receive gifts. With the new Sponsored VPS service for brokers, every trader can receive a reliable virtual server for round-the-clock trading for free.

Find out from your broker on which terms they are offering a free of charge VPS. Even if they do not yet provide this opportunity, you can show your interest in the hosting service and encourage your broker to include the free VPS option into their offering. It is a win-win deal: you will get a reliable, high-performance environment for trading robots and signals, while your broker will benefit from greater customer loyalty.
