MetaQuotes Software Corp.

We have recently launched a poll on MQL5.com forum to know your opinion on the affiliate program. As we have expected, the option "Yes, I sell trading applications and signals and I am ready to share my margin with affiliates" has turned out to be the most popular.

Now, we want to reveal the details of the planned affiliate program. The new reward scheme will help MQL5.community members promote their products and signals. It is beneficial both for sellers and promoters. While participating in the program, sellers will increase sales volumes of their applications, signals providers will attract more subscribers and promoters of affiliate web links will receive their well-earned interest from sellers and providers. It is a win-win situation for all the participants!

Have you posted a web link or a widget of a Market product and it has been used by a purchaser? Then your reward is waiting for you! Have you shared a web link or a widget of a paid signal and a trader has subscribed to it? Then it's time to receive your payoff! 

Sellers and signals providers can specify the size of the reward to be received by promoters. The payoff is calculated relative to the product's full price – application developer/provider specifies the percentage value that is to be transferred to a promoter's account at the time of purchase/subscription. For example, if the application's cost is 100 US Dollars and the payoff is set to 25%, a promoter will receive 25 US Dollars to his or her account.

Signal or Market product editing web pages allow you to specify the payoff amount (in percentage value of the product's full price) to be transferred to a promoter when a web link or a widget is activated.

Potential promoters can find out the payoff amount at an affiliate web link and widget receiving block of the product's page.

Promoters can track their affiliate web links and earned funds via Partner section of their MQL5.com profile. Both the total number of attractions and the number of successful ones are displayed there. Successful attractions are the ones followed by subscription to the signal or purchasing a product in the Market using an affiliate web link. In addition, the amount of US Dollars earned at each web link to a particular product or signal is displayed.

Now, it has become much easier to encourage MQL5.community members in advertising your products and signals, as soon as real money is involved. Share your profit with community members who are willing to distribute web links and widgets of your applications and signals and become popular with our affiliate program! We offer more customers for you and more profit for your promoters!

Benvenuto, MQL5!

Five months ago, we reported on 500 000 users of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile platforms. By April 2013, this number has doubled reaching the level of one million mobile MetaTrader users! Such a good momentum clearly shows that our mobile applications are in demand among the widest possible audience.

"We are greatly encouraged by reaching the level of one million users of MetaTrader mobile platforms. This means that we are on the right track, and our solutions meet the needs of traders" - comments Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp.   

The statistical data has been gathered during the year from the time when MetaQuotes IDs were introduced in the mobile terminals. These unique identifiers allowed us to determine the exact amount of actually used mobile terminals.

We are pleased to announce the official certification of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Due to this, CME brokers now have the opportunity to use MetaTrader 5 when dealing with their customers at CME.

The certification awarded officially denotes that MetaTrader 5 meets all the technical requirements set by CME in relation to futures trading. The trading platform connects to the exchange via a specially developed gateway that ensures correct handling of market data, as well as trading operations and generates reports as required by CME.

Apart from CME, the trading platform has already been certified by a number of various world exchanges. However, the platform has evolved beyond exchange certifications. During the first two months of this year, two brokers at Moscow Exchange have already launched MetaTrader 5 for Live trading. More brokers are preparing to offer Live trading very soon on the exchange through MetaTrader 5.

Stock exchange traders' response to the MetaTrader 5 trading platform that previously associated the platform only with Forex market, appeared to be very positive. The platform major advantages as per trader feedback so far include high performance, a wide range of analytical functionality and the ability to use advanced solutions in the field of mobile and automated trading.

"MetaTrader 5 has appeared to be a very good choice for us, - comments Alexander Dubrov, Head of Internet Trading in Otkritie Financial Corporation. The back office solution is the best we have seen and the interface is very user-friendly. Judging by the first positive feedback from traders, the trading platform has a promising future."

Having completed the CME certification, MetaQuotes Software Corp. now intends to focus on brokerage companies that are members of CME. "Realizing that the launch of a new platform can be quite challenging for a broker, we proactively offer our assistance and support to stock market participants, - says Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. It is certainly a complex process that requires time but based on the traders' feedback so far, we stand a good chance."

In addition, the company keeps working on the integration of MetaTrader 5 with other world exchanges. In the next two months, we are planning to complete the certification for TURKDEX and Warsaw Stock Exchange.

We continue the development of MQL5.community, with an emphasis on social networking. And today we are pleased to announce the launch of the new website feature - the Wall.

The Wall is a digest encompassing all that is currently happening in the community and displays a variety of MQL5.com achievements. It reflects the entire activity of MQL5.com. The Wall highlights new Forum threads and Market best-sellers, shows the number of new screenshots posted and signals that have become available for subscription. Click on the Wall and you will immediately be "in the know" of what is out there in the community.

In addition, events can be monitored in your preferred community sections. All posts on the wall are divided into 6 categories - Articles, Forum, Code Base, Market, Signals and Charts. The entire history of the community is now available to you among other things, as the Wall covers all events from the launch of MQL5.com till now.

This allows you to get a quick insight into the life at MQL5.community at the present moment. It is somewhat similar to well-known social networks where recent activities of the member's friends are displayed on the member's home page. In our case the Wall makes it possible to conveniently view community members' activities on one page!  

MetaQuotes Software Corp. announces the expansion of its offices. TradeNTrain has become the company's agent in India. This is the eighth representative office of MetaQuotes Software Corp. in the world.

The company believes that the representative office in the Indian subcontinent will reinforce its positions on the local market and provide clients with high-quality support and service.

The new agent sales and supports all software products of MetaQuotes Software Corp. This means that TradeNTrain offers a certified service to the customers using MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms, as well as TeamWox business management system. Considering the growing interest in MetaQuotes Software products in the region, establishing the new office is an important step in becoming even closer to clients.

Extended authorization and "Crosshair" mode were implemented in the previous build of MetaTrader 5 Android. Today the mobile platform received a number of new features. Traders will be able to closely examine them right after downloading the latest build of MetaTrader 5 Android. In addition to Crosshair, the application now features Data Window and display of OHLC prices on charts.

Besides, forced password change option has been implemented for safety reasons. All these innovations are aimed to make the work with MetaTrader 5 Android more convenient.

Over half a million of traders from all over the world currently use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile terminals in their trading activity. This figure is the most objective proof of the high quality and functionality of the mobile applications developed by MetaQuotes Software Corp.

83 000 traders use MetaTrader 5 terminals, while 418 000 traders use MetaTrader 4. This statistical data includes the terminals both for iPhone and Android devices. Though both mobile platforms have almost similar functionality, the wider popularity of MetaTrader 4 is obvious. This can be explained by widespread distribution of the platform on the market.

"We are glad that we managed to release the applications that have become so popular. Positive statistical data suggests that we are on the right track, and we should continue our development in this direction" - said Gaies Chreis, company COO.

The statistical data has been gathered during the last six months from the time when MetaQuotes ID was introduced in the mobile terminals. These unique identifiers have been designed to send service messages to traders' terminals. They also allow defining the number of actually used terminals. MetaQuotes ID is assigned to a mobile terminal only when it is launched. In other words, statistics consider only the terminals that have been actually launched and used.

Download and, most importantly, use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile terminals. Have a nice trend!

Our company is rapidly developing, launching new products and improving the already released ones. We have made a certain progress in all areas of our interest and we regularly tell about our achievements at conferences, seminars and webinars. Today we are holding MetaTrader 5 Workshop 2012 conference with brokerage companies in Limassol (Cyprus) where we are going to present the new features of the MetaTrader 5 platform.

The meeting with brokers is performed as a conference where various issues on the trading platform application will be discussed. "We are interested to know the opinion of brokers and analyze their suggestions" - says Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "All expressed ideas, comments and suggestions will receive careful attention. They will be considered and implemented!"

"Algorithmic trading should become popular" - that is the motto of MetaTrader 5 trading platform development. We have applied our best efforts to make trading robots available to the widest possible range of traders.

Modern MQL5 development environment allows users to develop Expert Advisors and technical indicators of any complexity. MQL5.com website contains plenty of useful information for developers, while MQL5 Cloud Network service allows them to perform tests and release new programs much faster.

However, all this is not enough to make algo trading really popular and let all traders use MetaTrader 5 platform's advanced features. Working towards this goal, we have already released MQL5 Wizard allowing any user without special knowledge to create Expert Advisors. All traders are now able to discover the world of the algorithmic trading.

In addition to that, we have launched Jobs service on MQL5.com. Now, any trader can place an order for development of a trading robot or an indicator, and it will be fulfilled by experienced developers. More than two years have already passed since the service launch and it is still developing rapidly. 3 200 orders have been fulfilled via this service by now. New orders appear at a growing rate, and the algo trading is used by traders more and more actively.

The launch of MQL5 Market has become the next logical step aimed to make algo trading even more popular. Now, any trader can buy a trading robot or a technical indicator right via the terminal. By the way, MQL5 Market already contains more than 280 applications available to any MetaTrader 5 user.

Looking back at the past, we can say that the automated trading becomes more popular. Most importantly, we can see a steady and growing demand for trading applications among common traders. They are more interested in new ways of making money on Forex and they order development of trading programs, as well as buy them in Market actively. This process is now gathering pace. However, it cannot be called widespread yet.

This means that we will continue to improve our solutions. Let all traders have their own trading robots!
