"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!

Today MetaQuotes Software Corp. has received the official confirmation of successful certification of MetaTrader 5 Online Trading Platform by the largest Brazilian exchange BM&FBOVESPA. Now, any BM&FBOVESPA registered broker can offer Online trading to investors in Brazil using the MetaTrader 5 trading platform.

Decision to Certify MetaTrader 5 on the largest stock exchange in Latin America was taken at the requests of registered brokers within the region. Several Brazilian brokers have expressed serious interest in providing MetaTrader 5 trading for their investors on BM&FBOVESPA.  

The certification marks the successful completion of the compatibility between the MetaTrader 5 platform and the FM&FBOVESPA Exchange system. The certificate confirms that the MetaTrader 5 technology meets all requirements of the Exchange, supports the Exchange trading technology and has successfully completed all the compliance and technical requirements.

As MetaTrader 5 is specifically designed for trading on Exchange markets, the company continues to grow the number of exchanges that the platform can connect to. MetaTrader 5 has already been certified by the RTS, Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX), Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) and several other exchanges. The next Exchange integration projects of MetaTrader 5: London Stock Exchange (LSE) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)  are currently under way.

MetaQuotes Software Corp. has a firm interest in offering advanced trading technology to Latin American countries, and maintains a representative office in São Paulo (Brazil) since May 2012. "We have come to Latin America with firm intentions," says Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "This promising market has a strong demand for our technology and we want to satisfy it."

We have long been planning to encourage the most active MQL5.com participants contributing to the Community development. Therefore, the new rating system has been implemented on the website. Articles, Code Base programs, Service Desk requests - all types of activity increase a user's rating. Thus, the contribution of each Community member has been visualized.

After we decided to reward the most outstanding MQL5.com participants, we have selected the key criteria to determine each participant's contribution to the Community development. As a result, we have the following champions who published the greatest amount of articles on the website - investeo (11 articles) and victorg (10 articles), and who submitted their programs to Code Base – GODZILLA (340 programs), Integer (61 programs) and abolk (21 programs).

The winners have been awarded iPhone 4S touchscreen-based smartphones representing the fifth generation of the device and provided by dual-core chip, iSight camera, HD-Video recording, stunning Retina display, as well as plenty of other features.

MetaQuotes Software Corp. announces integration of its MetaTrader 5 Trading Platform with FX Grid, a global inter-institutional connectivity and trading network developed by Integral Development Corp. Thus the brokers that use MetaTrader 5 get access to one more liquidity platform in the forex market.

The MetaTrader 5 connects to Integral through new gateway, which was developed by MetaQuotes Software Corp. The connection of the trading platform with the diverse sources of liquidity on FX Grid has obvious advantages: brokers receive additional means for covering risk, and traders can access better prices.

Integral develops and operates FX Grid, a global Multi-sided Trading technology connecting active market participants with all major sources of FX liquidity, and offering more than 100 financial instruments for trading (major currency pairs, cross rates, exotic pairs and precious metals).

MetaQuotes Software Corp. is consistently moving towards integration of MetaTrader 5 with various liquidity providers in the forex market. The platform is already integrated with well-known providers like CitiFX Pro, Currenex. Having connected the Integral network to the platform, the company is going to turn their efforts to integration with stock exchanges.

"We have tried to offer the best Forex liquidity providers to our customers," said Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "Having introduced the MetaTrader 5 Integral Gateway in our trading platform, we believe that we've given a sufficiently wide choice to our customers, and they will have no problem choosing the one that suits their needs. Now we want to focus on the MetaTrader 5 integration with exchanges."

The MetaTrader 5 platform is already integrated with a number of different stock exchanges around the world, like Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange, Singapore Mercantile Exchange, RTS and others.

MQL5 Cloud Network has been successfully operating for more than half a year already. All this time the network has been growing steadily and almost 100 million tasks have been fulfilled with the use of its capacity. Hundreds and thousands of people from around the world have responded to our proposal and submitted their computing power to the MQL5 applications developers.

From the very start of the project we have been publishing a summary on the MQL5 Cloud Network main web page. Today we want to share some additional statistical data that shows the activity in our cloud calculations network. 

Various statistical data is automatically published on the new page of MQL5 Cloud Network web site. There you can observe the rate of fulfilling the tasks by the network agents, examine geographical location of the agents and see parameters of the computers involved in the calculations.

Statistical data presented on the web site is not final. In the future we will add additional quantitative parameters evaluating the network operation. If you have suggestions concerning the new parameters, we will gladly accept and implement them if possible. In the meantime you can visit the web site and examine the network operation statistics or participate in the cloud calculations and make money!

MetaQuotes Software Corp. is pleased to announce the certification of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform by GBOT (Global Board of Trade) - the first international multi-asset class exchange from Mauritius. After fulfilling all the technical requirements of the African exchange, our company has been granted the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) status from GBOT and now our trading platform can connect to this exchange via a special gateway.

Certification of the trading platform by GBOT represents the next step within the global strategy oriented to the integration of MetaTrader 5 with stock exchanges around the world. According to the developers, they are currently working hard to create the gateways for several international exchanges. This will considerably increase the number of trading sites supported by the platform. "If your exchange does not support MetaTrader 5, this is a temporary issue!" - says Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp.

"The interest in the African continent is currently growing," Mr. Chreis considers. "And traders who use our platform should be able to trade African commodities and currencies. Besides, trading in GBOT will allow them to reduce the risks associated with the unpredictable behavior of commodity prices and currency market volatility".
