The new version of MetaTrader 5 for iPhone and iPad features new possibilities.

MetaTrader 5 trading platform now features two-factor authentication, one-time passwords for which are created in the iPhone-version of the terminal. This mechanism is simple: a one-time password (OTP) is requested every time a user authenticates in the desktop or tablet terminal. The OTP is generated in MetaTrader 5 iPhone based on the secure hash algorithm HMAC SHA256.

This provides an additional level of account security: now a verification code is required in addition to login and password. The generated code is tied to a particular device and changes every 30 seconds, so that your trading account is protected from hacker attacks.

The latest version of the mobile terminal now supports the VoiceOver function. VoiceOver is a screen reader, which provides spoken descriptions of the user's actions in the terminal. The feature is designed to increase accessibility for low-vision traders.

Do not forget to update your MetaTrader 5 iOS and experience the new possibilities of the mobile platform.

MetaQuotes Software is pleased to announce that its MetaTrader 5 trading platform has entered the Brazilian market. The largest independent Broker in Brazil XP Investimentos has officially launched MetaTrader 5. This means that more than 80,000 customers of the company can now trade in the financial markets using the world famous platform.

Importantly, traders can trade not only currency instruments, but also stocks and futures of Brazilian companies. To connect to the São Paulo Stock Exchange BM&FBovespa, XP Investimentos specialists have developed a special gateway to provide correct execution of trades and delivery of market quotes. Finally, customers of XP Investimentos can fully appreciate the benefits of stock trading with the MetaTrader 5 platform.

XP Investimentos rigorously tested the terminal prior to announce the launch of the new service publicly. “For more than 10 months, MetaTrader 5 was available only to 100 users selected for beta testing of the product. Only after the final debugging of all processes, trading with MetaTrader 5 became available to all our clients” says Guilherme Benchimol CEO of XP Investimentos.  

"Interest in the South American market has recently increased," says Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes. "We are looking to expand our presence in the region. We have entered the Brazilian market with the help of the leading local broker with a large client base to instantly win a substantial market share. Thus, we achieve a higher exposure by providing MetaTrader 5 to the broad masses of traders, while our partner XP Investimentos have satisfied the wishes of their customers. We are happy to strengthen our position in the region and will continue to actively expand into the Latin American market."

Our company will act as a technology partner at FX WORLD ISTANBUL conference that will be held from 25 to 28 September in Istanbul. The event will be arranged with the assistance of multiple Turkish non-governmental organizations and will be dedicated to the development of Forex industry in the country.

The representative of FX WORLD ISTANBUL organizers Ceylan Pirinçcioğlu underlined some important points: “In the world of FOREX, the global daily trading volume has reached 5.3 trillion dollars whereas the Turkish volume is 30 billion dollars, representing 0.6% of the global volume. Particularly to attract regional foreign investors to our country, a number of important changes must be considered in our regulation and taxation system. If we can attract foreign investors for FX, I am sure that they would also invest in Turkey.” 

Pirinçcioğlu has also highlighted the importance of detailed explanation of the "Leverage System" for the benefit of investors. The maximum leverage allowed in the country currently is set at 1:100 and this ratio indeed creates enormous opportunities as well as risks for investors.

Besides, about 50 representatives of different financial organizations are to speak at the event. MetaQuotes Software Corp. will present its latest technologies and software solutions able to solve a number of Turkish Forex issues and facilitate the market development.

Adding funds to an MQL5.com account became even more convenient with the NETELLER payment system that is used in more than 200 countries. Now you can quickly deposit up your MQL5.com account, and subscribe to a trading signal or buy an app in MetaTrader Market.

First, working with the NETELLER system is convenient and secure thanks to the use of password and security code (Secure ID). For example, to add funds to an MQL5.com account it is enough to enter the Secure ID, but not the password used to access your NETELLER account.

Second, the NETELLER system is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) that is well known to anyone familiar with Forex market. This is an additional reliability factor of the payment system. Third, you can apply for a prepaid MasterCard card with instant access to the funds in your NETELLER account, and pay with it online and offline, which is very convenient.

Use the NETELLER system to deposit your account and purchase services at MQL5.com!
