Metaquotes has officially released the first web version of its famous
MT4 trading platform. It is slightly disappointing that you can't register a trading account directly through it - you can only login using existing MT4 account details.
Web trading is already available in the new Trading section of the MQL5.community site. Later on you will be able to trade straight from your broker's website, because the web terminal can be easily integrated into a HTML page as a convenient widget using iframe.
The interface of the web platform is similar to the desktop version and is therefore easy to understand.
The following basic functions are currently available:
- All types of trading operations: placing market and pending orders
- Real-time quotes in the Market Watch
- Customizable price charts
- 9 chart timeframes
- Basic analytical objects: horizontal, vertical and trend line, equidistant channel and Fibonacci lines
The features of the web platform will be further expanded.
Web trading is only available on demo accounts of the MetaQuotes-Demo server to date. As soon as your broker updates the MetaTrader 4 platform and enables the web trading option on the server, you will be able to trade with your broker's account via the web terminal.
