Third Party Provider Marketplace

The meat of the event which was presented by Andrei Savitski, Head of Global Sales at MetaQuotes Software, was the final section when they addressed the current friction taking place between them and third party providers. Savitski stated that they “appreciate the value that provider bring to MetaTrader”. But, he stressed that the products also can lead to security issues and breakdowns of MetaTrader operating correctly for their clients. To address this problem, MetaQuotes will be launching a Third Party Provider Marketplace. Savitski explained that any third party provider will be able to submit their solution to MetaQuotes to test for quality and performance, as he said “basically, we want to make sure there is compatibility”.

MetaQuotes is expecting a Q4 launch for the new marketplace. In addition, MetaQuotes will be acting as the middleman between providers and brokers with invoicing and Payments Payments One of the bases of mediums of exchange in the modern world, a payment constitutes the transfer of a legal currency or equivalent from one party in exchange for goods or services to another entity.

Savitski answered that “third party providers can elect to participate, but it is up to them, we won’t force them”. A follow up question was asked in regards to bridge providers such as PrimeXM, Gold-I and oneZero. Savitski answered again that it up to the providers and “nothing will happen to them”. He added that brokers expect quality which he believed MetaQuotes will bring.

Our opinion is that the marketplace makes sense. As written about before, developers would welcome a specific list of guidelines to ensure that their products are compatible and won’t be banned in the future. The marketplace also fits what the firm has been doing on the client side by developing its EA store. Overall, having seen providers profit around their platform, MetaQuotes is moving to grab a larger share through the launch of the marketplace.
