Online brokerage easyMarkets Traders has announced the launch of a new product offering trading clients another choice in trade monitoring and management.
The new MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform joins the ranks of robust platforms such as easyMarkets’ proprietary web and mobile platform, MetaTrader 4 (MT4), and TradingView.
easyMarkets is an online market maker that pioneered a number of trading platforms.
Their trading platforms are known for proprietary features and an emphasis on transparent pricing.
Clients who trade with easyMarkets have access to a variety of asset classes and markets including spot trades, forwards, and options. The platform is available in several languages.
Chief Marketing Officer of easyMarkets, Ohad Golan, said, “Our mission is and always has been to offer traders an industry-leading experience, and that’s why we are tirelessly developing and launching updates to the services, products, and platforms we offer.
We are also constantly adding to the list of shares and other instruments on all our platforms including MT5.”
Introducing the MT5
The newly-launched MT5 is thought to be one of the most powerful multi-asset trading platforms available.
The latest in the range of products build on the popular MetaTrader platform, the MT5 has numerous attractive new features such as more advanced chart indicators, faster processing speeds, and a built-in economic calendar.
The MT5 also retains the valuable tools and benefits of its predecessor, the MT4, such as Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP), negative balance protection, over 20 years of historical data, the ability to use expert advisors (EAs) for trading, and no commission or hidden fees.
International traders from certain countries can also enjoy a higher maximum leverage of 500:1.
In addition, the MT5 platform is highly customizable. Users have the option to modify symbols and personalize advanced charts and indicators.
A key new feature of the MT5 is variable spreads.
easyMarkets believes that this feature better facilitates trading by allowing clients to choose between floating or fixed spreads (or both) within the same ecosystem.
Fixed spreads do not vary during market hours and require little attention.
Meanwhile, variable spreads fluctuate in response to increased liquidity or high volatility in the market.
Therefore, variable spreads require constant attention and closer exposure management from traders.
By offering the option of variable spreads, easyMarkets aims to make trading easier and provide a strategic advantage to their clients.
MT5 is a fast and flexible platform.
It is well-suited for experienced traders who seek more advanced and customizable trading tools.
Traders on MT5 can trade all of easyMarkets 135+ instruments, including forex, indices, shares, commodities, metals, and cryptocurrencies.
It takes seconds to register for MT5.
Traders simply have to visit the easyMarkets or MT5 web page to sign up and confirm their account details.
Then, they can download and install MT5 on their device, log in, and make an initial deposit amounting to a minimum of $25. Once that is complete, new users are ready to start trading.
About easyMarkets
easyMarkets was founded as easy-forex in 2001.
At that time, trading was exclusive to wealthy individuals or institutions who transacted through physical trading rooms.
People who did not have a large initial investment were unable to participate in trading.
Hence, easy-forex aimed to democratize trading by providing all individuals with access to the market.
easy-forex accepted initial investments from as low as $25.
Deposits could be paid online via credit card instead of going through a slow bank transfer process.
The company was the first to offer an online trading platform with negative balance protection.
This marked a fundamental shift in the online trading industry.
Over the years, clients flocked to easy-forex, allowing it to expand its CFD offerings.
