Brokers' Update: RoboForex Adds cTrader, Saxo Opts for Swiss and Dutch Options

After several years of MetaTrader 4 domination, a number of brokers have recently begun to offer alternative solutions catering to the growing needs of their clients. RoboForex is the latest company to diversify its platform portfolio by adding two new solutions. The firm decided to opt for MetaTrader 5 and cTrader.

The MetaTrader 5 offering is available for all types of accounts which RoboForex has on offer, while Trader will cater to users who have selected ProECN and Pro-Standard account types. Both platforms are already available for the brokerage's clients.

The company has also upgraded its WebTrader platform to include a number of indicators in the offering, a feature which has been widely in demand by RoboForex's clients.
