In 2010 MetaQuotes Software Corp. started development of a platform for mobile trading.

By March, interactive charts were included into the program, which allowed traders to visually track price movements. Today we are pleased to announce a new version of the MetaTrader 5 iPhone. Its main feature is the long awaited support of technical indicators.

"The functionality of the mobile platform was growing daily to provide wider opportunities to traders," - Denis Abramov, the leading developer of the mobile platforms department, explained. "Finally, its third version is ready - now technical indicators can be applied in the program. Of course, we will continue to expand the functionality of the platform and improve it - this is an ongoing process in our company."

The new MetaTrader 5 iPhone includes 14 technical indicators, and the number of analytical tools will be further expanded. You can simultaneously open up to 10 indicator windows in the application. Moreover, you can apply an indicator to the main chart window or to other indicators. In short, with the release of the updated MetaTrader 5 iPhone, the arsenal of mobile traders has grown considerably.

Some time ago, we announced the launch of the beta version of our new Market service on MQL5.com. To date, virtually all the necessary works have been completed and we are pleased to present to you a Market of MQL5 programs. This is a meeting place for traders who need Expert Advisors or indicators, and MQL5 developers who are ready to help them.

We gradually expand the boundaries of automated trading from a purely professional category letting it spread to the masses. Obviously, automated trading requires much more place than just a community of MQL programmers - it is time to move a level up. The release of the MQL5 Wizard made it available to ordinary traders without programming skills. Furthermore, the launch of the Market will accelerate this process. Automated trading finally loses its status of a "closed community privilege".

We have made every effort to ensure that ordinary traders can benefit from all the advantages of auto trading. "Now, traders can access all the wide opportunities, - Alexander Saidullin, the head of trading platforms department of MetaQuotes Software Corp said. A necessary Expert Advisor can be ordered using the Jobs service, created in the MQL5 Wizard or purchased in the Market. Thus, there are three different ways to get a desired application. And whatever way a trader chooses, he will get a workable Expert Advisor ready to trade in financial markets".

We invite all developers of MQL programs to the Market – fill out an application, register and sell your programs. The more popular your product is with the MetaTrader 5 users, the more money you earn.

We are pleased to announce that the MetaTrader 5 platform has been certified by the RTS. This means that any brokerage firm working at the stock exchange can use our platform to provide services to their traders. Moreover, this is an exciting opportunity for Forex brokers to expand their businesses and offer stock trading options to their clients.

"We have done a great job, and we are happy that it has completed successfully. However, we still have much to do, since we are planning to expand to other exchanges. We will announce our future plans in this area soon, so follow the news," - said Alexander Saidullin, the head of the MetaTrader 5 development group.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the MQL5 Wizard. This version contains an important function: now trading robots can be created based on different combinations of symbols. This innovation allows using sophisticatedanalysis and getting more accurate signals. Ultimately this will increase the number and variety of automated trading programs created using the Wizard. Currently the MQL5 Wizard includes about 20 trading signals that can be combined to produce a variety of different algorithms.

With the release of the Wizard the distance between a trader and an MQL5 Programmer has been reduced to a minimum. These new features open up new horizons to ordinary traders. All the exciting technologies that used to be the prerogative of experienced EA developers, are now available to the large army of traders. All that you need for creating your own robot is the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and a few minutes. In just a few clicks you can create a trading robot based on any elaborate strategy.

This is a truly revolutionary step in the development of automated trading. Never before has this technology gone beyond the scope of MQL-developers. Now the rich functionality of the MQL5 environment is available to any trader. Install the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and start writing your own Expert Advisors. And it does not matter whether you have programming skills or not.

"We have decided to make automated trading available to a wide range of traders , - says Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. - We in MetaQuotes have done a lot to catalyze the development of automated trading. But the most important step is just beginning – automated trading goes beyond the community of MQL-developers and is becoming finally available to the masses!"
