Founded in 2000, today MetaQuotes is one of the leading software developers for brokers, banks and exchanges with offices in many countries around the world. MetaQuotes During this time, many popular products were created - from the simple Forex platform FX Charts to the multi-market institutional MetaTrader 5. The very first MetaQuotes product, the FX Charts platform, was announced in 2000. It was intended for performing trading operations and analyzing quotes of currency pairs on Forex. FX Charts stood out from the expensive and low-productivity systems that existed on the market due to its functionality and reasonable price. The new product quickly gained its place in the market and was introduced into several brokerage companies. The first successful experience gave impetus to further developments, so the next MetaQuotes product, the platform of the same name, received a new programming language MQL (MetaQuotes Language). The novelty again excited the market - now traders could launch trading robots. With the advent of the third generation platform, called MetaTrader, traders now have the opportunity to trade futures. A year later, in 2003, the first mobile applications MetaTrader CE and MetaTrader for Palm were announced. This event sharply increased the number of traders on the new platform and spurred market interest in the developments of MetaQuotes. 2005 — launch of MetaTrader 4 In 2005, with the announcement of the new MetaTrader 4 platform, the company made its fourth revolution. In the fourth platform, literally everything was rethought and remade - from the architecture of the entire platform to the new programming language MQL4. MetaTrader 4 also introduces new tools for developing, testing and optimizing trading robots. It is thanks to the fourth generation platform that algorithmic trading has become accessible not only to a narrow circle of professionals, but also to a wide range of traders around the world. News about the advantages of the new product quickly spread throughout the world, and MetaTrader 4 became the de facto industry standard and a reliable working tool for millions of traders for several years. 2010 — launch of MetaTrader 5 And finally, in 2010, MetaQuotes made a real breakthrough with the release of the MetaTrader 5 multi-market software package. The new platform allows you to trade on the Forex, stock and futures markets. All previous developments in MetaTrader 5 have been brought to perfection. The new product is much faster, more functional, more reliable and more convenient than platforms of previous generations. Millions of traders from all over the world quickly appreciated its advantages, and MetaTrader 5 is confidently displacing outdated platforms from the brokerage business.
