This comes one month after Apple removed MT4/MT5 trading apps from App Store.
MetaQuotes said the application was "redeveloped from scratch".
The Forex
trading technology provider, MetaQuotes launched a new MetaTrader 5
(MT5) web terminal on Monday for forex and contract for difference trading. The
launch comes over a month after the technology giant, Apple pulled down the company's popular
MetaTrader 4 and 5 mobile trading apps from its App Store without warning.
Industry
sources attributed the suspension to the alleged prevalent use of the platform by ‘bad actors’ in perpetrating scams. However, while the development happened without any warning, months before MetaQuotes had been
implementing a shift in its policy towards offshore brokers who mostly
operate from jurisdictions with less rigorous regulations.
Meanwhile, following
the news, MetaQuotes’ competitors reported increased sign-up requests from brokers, which is
likely to affect MetaQuotes’ market share. In mid-October, Spotware Systems announced that it started investing in upgrades to its infrastructure to meet the higher demand for cTrader, its electronic trading
platform.
'No Need for a Mobile App'
However,
on Monday MetaQuotes announced that traders “can
fully manage their trading accounts using a mobile device” by using the new MT5 web terminal. The company said that "regardless of iPhone
versions and browsers."
“Furthermore,
there is no need to download a mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google
Play,” MetaQutoes added.

Additionally, the
software provider explained that the new terminal offers demo and live
accounts, financial symbol quotes and the ability to execute trading operations
in any financial market, among other features.
On top of that, the company noted that the terminal was "redeveloped from scratch," and was optimized; hence, it "has become faster and more efficient."
"The new core has enabled faster response to commands and greater operational
stability. The web terminal is safe to use since all transmitted information is
securely encrypted,” MetaQuotes said.

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
