MetaTrader 5 the most popular platform

So far, the undisputed leader among trading platforms for over a decade has been MetaTrader 4. This month MT4 handed over the place of the leader to its younger brother - MetaTrader 5. The upward trend has been visible for years, an increasing number of brokers began to expand their offer with MT5, and in some cases at the same time give up with MT4 (e.g. TMS Brokers).

Growing popularity include the effect of constant development "New" product MetaQuotes. For example, the amount of MetaTrader 5 code has already reached 7 million lines, while the previous version had them "just" 2 million. However, the author of the software does not provide exact statistics on the number of users themselves.

The company's announcement reads:

- Most of our clients are practical people who work in a saturated and aggressive market. They need reliable tools that produce consistent and predictable results. Today we have received another confirmation that MetaTrader 5 has already gained the trust of brokers and has become a tool that helps in quickly and efficiently solving any business task. Companies using MetaTrader 5 always meet the current market requirements, as we constantly monitor changes in the industry and introduce new technologically advanced features.

Users themselves play an important role in the development of the platform. It is thanks to their suggestions, bug reports and the anticipation of many key modifications being implemented. MetaQuotes emphasizes that it will not stop at its laurels, it continues to work on improving its flagship product and announces further important and useful updates for users.
