FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that leading trading platform provider MetaQuotes is getting set to formally unveil what is effectively the largest upgrade of its popular MetaTrader 5 (MT5) trading platform in recent years.

The main features of the upgrade include integrated payments, powerful trading analytics, and a new reports format for traders. MetaQuotes is also likely to announce a redesign of the MT5 trading platform, with a major interface update.

The MT5 terminals now feature integrated payments and fully functional trading statistics sections, which can help traders analyze their transactions in detail. In addition, MetaQuotes has implemented a number of technical changes which will serve as the basis for future interface enhancements.

Integrated payments – a growth area without investments

Platform users can quickly and safely top up their accounts directly in MetaTrader 5. They no longer need to switch between windows and go through additional authorizations. Bank cards, bank transfers and various payment services are available. The innovation can help brokerage companies increase their clientele and trading volumes, without additional financial investments.

Advantages of integrated payments:

• Streamlined onboarding. The absence of registrations in third-party sites reduces the company’s sales funnel. Users can start trading as soon as they install the platform. This can help increase the number of real accounts & deposits.
• Ready-made solution. The company does not need to develop, configure and maintain the payment infrastructure – the functionality is integrated into the trading platform. This might be especially relevant for start-up companies which possess limited resources.
• Increased trading volumes. It can be easier for traders to react to a favorable market situation without switching between windows and additional authorizations. This can make decision making faster.
• No investments. The payment service is completely free. It only needs to be configured to suit the needs of a specific company.

New analytics can help traders optimize portfolios, and brokers to strengthen their brand

Users have received a free, powerful tool for performing comprehensive analysis of trading histories, ultimately allowing them to achieve better results. There is no longer need to look for third-party services to control and adjust trading results – all the necessary information is available directly in the platform. The improvements can help brokers improve service quality and increase customer loyalty.

Analytical reports in MetaTrader 5 present all trading activity from different statistical points of view – traders of any level can use these tools to optimize portfolios. Summary information on the account, history of profitable and unprofitable transactions, report on Buy and Sell orders, analysis of transactions on financial instruments, statistics on drawdown and deposit load, are some of the statistcs now available in MetaTrader 5.

Currently, trading reports are available for the desktop version of the platform running Windows 10 or higher. The new features will appear in the web terminal and mobile version of the platform in the forthcoming updates.

Advantages of trading analytics for brokers:

• MetaTrader 5-brokers can gain a new competitive advantage through built-in unique trading analytics.
• Transparent and reliable analytical tools encourage basic interest in trading among novice users, while enhancing trading activity among experienced traders.
• Brokerages provide clients with a free valuable tool to trade more efficiently and securely.

A major interface update is coming up

In the latest update, MT5 will have laid the foundations for additional changes in MetaTrader 5 appearance. MetaQuotes will soon present an updated MetaTrader 5 interface — the platform will retain its familiar appearance, while becoming more modern and efficient. Redesigned charts, controls for analytical tools, application interface and color schemes – the forementioned will make MetaTrader 5 the most productive trading platform.
