This year we have repeatedly informed about our active work on increasing the number of exchanges supported by MetaTrader 5 platform. And today we are pleased to announce that our company has been granted the Independent Software Vendor (ISV) status from the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX). 

This means that DGCX Members will be able to use MetaTrader 5 trading platform through a special gateway to provide services to their trading clients. Thus, DGCX has become the third international exchange supported by MetaTrader 5 platform.

"Our integration solution meets all the requirements of the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange," said Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "A great work has been done, but the platform development will not be stopped. Our objective is to offer even more opportunities to the Exchange Members and we will continue our work".

MetaQuotes Software Corp. announces the successful integration of its MetaTrader 5 trading platform and CitiFX Pro, owned and operated by Citi, one of the world leaders in the Forex market.

A special gateway developed by MetaQuotes Software Corp. has made integration of the two systems possible. MetaTrader 5 brokers can now access liquidity through the CitiFX Pro trading system. Citi, in turn, offers its customers round-the-clock liquidity for a wide range of financial instruments.

"This integration of MetaTrader 5 trading platform and CitiFX Pro is more than just mutually beneficial," said Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. "Brokers get an improved method to cover risks, CitiFX receives increased trading volume, and traders benefit from tight pricing and deep liquidity offered by CitiFX Pro. Everybody wins."

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.

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!"
