MetaQuotes Software Corp. is a Cyprus Forex trading software company. The company is registered in the offshore zone of Cyprus.[1] [2][3][4]
MetaQuotes MetaTrader trading platforms are currently used by the majority of FX Brokerage companies and banks around the world.[5]
History
MetaQuotes Software Corporation was established in 2000 in Kazan, Russia.[6]
In 2005 development of the TeamWox, a CRM system started for the company internal use. In 2009, the first public commercial version of TeamWox was released and went on to win various industry awards.[7][8]
On June 1, 2010 MetaQuotes Software officially released MetaTrader 5 or MT5 the next version of its trading platform.[9] It expanded the number of products that could be traded from just Forex to include stocks and commodities.[10] MT5 also includes a new version of the programming language called MQL5. The new MT5 client trading terminal differs in a number of ways from MT4 and was not backward compatible.[11] Uptake of the new version was slow and by April 2011, MetaTrader had only 50 companies featuring the new version with over 400 companies remaining on MT4 mainly as a result of the lack of backward compatibility. Additionally, there has been an overall reluctance to adopt the new MQL5 programming language.[12]
In 2011 MetaQuotes Software Corp. entered into a partnership with International Business Times to deliver integrated trading platform and newswire service.[13]
In 2012 MetaTrader 5 Trading Platform has been Certified for the Singapore Mercantile Exchange.[14] Metaquotes Software has been granted ISV status by the stock exchange.[15]
In September 2015, MetaQuotes rolled out Japanese support for its MQL5 community. This was due to the demand from Japanese traders on MT4 and MT5.[16]
