London-based online forex broker One Financial Markets said on Monday it has included to its offering the web-based version of the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) trading platform, ONE | Web Trader.
“ONE | Web Trader strengthens our offering and I believe that this is the beginning of the end of the downloadable platform,” said Andrew Henderson, director at One Financial Markets. “With an increase in free public Wi-Fi and the introduction of 4G around the world combined with MT4’s launch of their new web trading platform, we felt it necessary to offer our clients one of the fastest web trading platforms in the market. I think it’s time to wave goodbye to the download generation.”
MetaQuotes, the developer of the platform, launched the web version in September this year and received orders from more than 100 companies for it within the first month. The web version’s interface is similar to that of the desktop platform. It is a cloud-based platform and it does not require the download and installation of any software, which makes the access to international financial markets easier and faster. The MT4 web platform runs across all web browsers and is compatible with all operating systems, being it for desktop or mobile devices.
MT4, available both as a desktop and mobile application, as well as a web version, is the worlds’ most widely-used trading platform. With its outstanding charting package, auto-trading capabilities and signal copying, the platform is user-friendly and even novice traders can easily find their way around it. Traders can download ready-made or create their own automated trading strategies (Expert Advisors, or EAs), scripts and custom indicators in the MQL programming language.
Forex brokers that are offering the web-based trading platform include brokerage group Alpari, Cyprus-licensed forex broker XM and its Belize-registered peer FX Choice, among others.
