MetaQuotes rolls out updated MT5 app for iOS-based devices
Fintech company MetaQuotes has released the latest version of the MetaTrader 5 mobile app for iOS-based devices.
The app introduces a range of convenient chart features, along with important stability improvements for a smoother user experience.
A text object for creating custom labels on charts has been added. Open the chart objects menu and tap “Add Text”. Next, enter your desired text and select a point on the chart to place the label. An object has two points: one for moving and another for adjusting direction.
The developers have also added a small on-chart objects menu, which appears at the bottom of the screen immediately after creating an object. You can now modify key properties without navigating to the full objects menu.
The latest version of the app comes with a countdown timer that displays the remaining time until the current bar closes. It works across all timeframes, from minute to daily charts. This feature will be especially useful for traders whose strategies depend on bar openings and closings.
To enable the timer, go to chart settings. The countdown is displayed on the vertical scale below the current price.
Crosshair mode has been enhanced, so that it can now be used as a ruler. Activate the crosshair and place it at the desired starting point. Then tap the endpoint to measure the distance. The tooltip will display the difference in price, percentage, and number of bars.
Position tickets are now displayed in trading history.
Quote delay indication has been improved if such a delay is used for a trading instrument. This information is now displayed on the chart, while the icon in the Market Watch section has been made more prominent.
The app now supports new providers in the integrated payment system.
The chats have been improved, as they include a document viewer and offer support for *.webp images. The search functionality has been improved too.
