MetaQuotes Software Corp.

Dear Friends,

We wish you a Happy New Year! May 2014 bring you every success, further development and prosperity. We would also like to thank you for showing your confidence in us.

The past year has been very significant and fruitful for us - we have progressed and advanced our technology to a great extent. In 2013, MetaTrader 4/5 for iPhone has undergone significant updates, a special expanded iPad version has been released and the number of users of MetaTrader 4/5 for iOS and Android has reached nearly 2 mln. We have been further developing the services launched last year - Trading Signals and Market. Furthermore, we have obtained MetaTrader 5 certification from a number of world exchanges. Besides that, our MQL5.com website is now available in three additional languages (Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish), 1.5 billion tasks have been executed with MQL5 Cloud Network, MQL5 Reference has been translated into 9 different languages, Trading Signals now feature private monitoring and you can get any message automatically translated from any language on MQL5 Forum.

You must have already noticed that our products and services have become more user-friendly and convenient, while their features have been improved and extended. We would like to thank you for all your support and collaboration. May the New Year for you be filled with success, excitement and great experiences!

MNI FX Bullet Points news feed and analytics are now integrated into the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms. MNI is a leading real-time news agency dedicated to providing global capital markets with relevant trading information. Thus, MNI FX Bullet Points service integrated into MetaTrader allows traders to use additional data when making their trading decisions.

The new version of MetaTrader 5 iOS now features significantly revised charts and depth of the market, updated chat, as well as News and Mailbox tabs. The number of timeframes has also been increased - traders can now use week and month time intervals.

MetaTrader AppStore now features extended sales data. Now, the AppStore sellers have access to the visual sales statistics both for all their products and for each application separately. Please note that this data is only available to a product developer. AppStore visitors, as well as other sellers are not able to view it.

We have recently launched the Chinese version of MQL5.community website. First of all, we have translated Documentation section, the entire website interface and we have also started working on Articles section. Within two months, we have increased the number of articles translated into Chinese up to 50 ones. As a result, our website now provides truly unique information that cannot be found on other web resources!

Following our strategy of MQL5.com socialization, we have decided to create the official channel of our company - MetaQuotes Software Corp. We will publish all the news of our company, both official and otherwise, on this account. Here you can not only know about new events in our life, but also leave your comments on them.

Another quarter of the year has passed and we have decided to sum up its results for MetaTrader AppStore - the largest store of trading robots and technical indicators for MetaTrader platforms.

At the start of the year, MetaTrader 4 iOS users received an opportunity to communicate with friends in the internal free chat. In the latest version of the mobile platform, we have thoroughly revised the chat making it even more convenient.   

Trading Signals - it's a convenient and easy-to-use service for traders. We have already published several articles in the past, explaining how to subscribe to copy trades from more experienced traders and how to become a signal provider in our service. Due to the growing demand from trading community, in addition to the previously published text materials, we have also decided to publish a video tutorial.

This February, we have reported on an important milestone in the development of MQL5 Cloud Network - 500 million tasks were executed using the network capacities. Over the past six months, this figure has doubled and thousands of the network users from around the world have executed one billion tasks by September 2013!

This summer we have launched a new affiliate program to help MQL5.community members promote their products and signals. However, it is beneficial not only for MetaTrader Market sellers and paid trading signals providers but also for common users. Now, you do not have to write Market applications on your own or sell subscription to your signals to make money on MQL5.com. You can simply help promote these products and receive your profit share.

We have implemented a number of changes to Signals statistics to simplify evaluation of results. Now, you can quickly assess the trading activity of a selected signal, as the informative value of the charts has been considerably improved.

We have recently announced that MQL5 Reference became available in Italian. With seven other languages already available, Portuguese has become the eighth language in which the information in MQL5 Reference is provided.  

By popular demand of traders, we have launched the new private monitoring service. Now, while creating a new signal, you can restrict access to it, so that the entire trading statistics is visible only to you. No one else will be able to access that data or subscribe to that signal.

A variety of integration gateways to liquidity providers and stock exchanges have recently been developed for MetaTrader 5 trading platform. Using these solutions, brokers now can greatly improve their business and enter new markets. We have decided to summarize the first integration results and make a list of already working MetaTrader 5 gateways.

MetaQuotes Software Corp. has released MetaTrader 5 Gateway to FastMatch connecting MetaTrader 5 trading platform to FastMatch. This liquidity gateway provides a simple, fast and secure integration solution for brokers.

We are happy to announce the certification of the MetaTrader 5 trading platform by Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). It is a primary stock exchange in Australia and one of the largest exchanges in the Asian Region. Brokers working on ASX now have the opportunity to serve clients using MetaTrader 5. Certification means that MetaTrader 5 has passed all necessary tests and meets all requirements of the ASX exchange.

We have expanded MQL5.community payment system options by adding QIWI Wallet as a new way to deposit funds to your account.

MQL5.com forum now features automatic translation of any messages. You can translate any forum message, regardless of its source language, into one of 12 languages: Arabic, Indonesian, Thai, Spanish, Italian, Vietnamese, German, Korean, Chinese, French, Portuguese and Japanese. Thus, you can translate forum messages from any language.

Many developers have been waiting for MetaTrader 4 application store, and it has finally happened: the Market for MetaTrader 4 trading platform applications has been released in beta mode. You can register on the web site and offer your MQL4 programs for sale right now!
