MetaTrader 5 (MT 5) Platform

Vantage FX is pleased to announce that it is one of the first financial services firms to provide access to the MetaTrader 5 demo and live platforms. 

For those interested in the benefits that this software has to offer, we’d like to extend the offer of a sneak preview to all Live Account clients. Please contact your account manager for the link to download the demo.

Designed to service trading customers in forex, CFD, and futures and equity markets too, the MetaTrader 5 platform has many features to offer users. 

The architecture of MetaTrader 5 sets it apart from the rest and makes it superior to MetaTrader 4. Previously, one server performed a set of functions but in the new platform functions are divided between separate components, giving a new sense of reliability and performance to the entire working system. You’ll find the information split between a trade server, access server, history and backup server, which is far more organised than before. 

There are a variety of benefits for MetaTrader 5 brokers and traders using this tool, including increased productivity by faster trade execution, leading to an enhanced all round experience.

Think of it as the perfectly equipped working tool – one which allows a trader to manage and effectively watch over whichever trading system has been created. The software contains all the functions that a trader could need to compete in the market, while receiving support for all types of orders and trade operation executions, whether instant, request, market or exchange.

For those who prefer automated trading functions, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is the ideal solution. Additionally, to aid those who are not entirely familiar with the program, the MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user-friendly. On the technical side, MQL5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

The timeframes in MetaTrader 4 included the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1 and MN timeframes. As an added improvement, MetaTrader 5 has introduced intermediate timeframes into the equation. In order to make decisions faster and analyse data better, built-in indicators and graphical objects are available - you’ll have three types of charts, 21 timeframes and 70 analytical tools at your fingertips. 

Having access and support to such a powerful trading tool is an invaluable asset when tackling the forex market. Open a live account today and experience the benefits of being able to detect trends, study figures, entry-exit points and more at the click of a button.
