Christoforos Theodoulou, the Head of Global Business & Sales at MetaQuotes, launched the new platform during the FMLS:25.
Dubbed Ultency, the engine aims to eliminate the need for third-party bridges, addressing a major friction point in MT5’s previous trade infrastructure.
At the Finance Magnates London Summit 2025, MetaQuotes
introduced Ultency, its new matching engine designed to give MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
brokers and liquidity providers control and speed in trade execution.
Christoforos Theodoulou, the Head of Global Business
and Sales at MetaQuotes, described the new platform as a purpose-built, “ultra
low latency” platform developed entirely in-house to remove the reliance on
third-party bridging technologies – a longstanding friction point in the
brokerage infrastructure stack.
Christoforos Theodoulou, Head of Global Business & Sales at MetaQuotes
Theodoulou emphasized that MetaQuotes invested
“millions” in global server infrastructure to support the new ecosystem. Ultency’s hosting network reportedly spans Equinix data centers in London
(LD4), New York (NY4), Hong Kong (HK1), Singapore (SG1), and Tokyo (TY3).
“And we also now introduced SG1 in Singapore and TY3
in Tokyo. And the deployment of a matching engine of MetaTrader 5 for Ultency
is done straight from each MetaTrader 5 broker with just a couple of clicks,” he added.
Setting up the system, he said, can take “three
seconds” and “a couple of clicks” via the MT5 administrator terminal – a
simplification aimed at reducing operational overhead. There’s reportedly no
integration complexity or third-party maintenance.
Control and Transparency for Brokers
Beyond speed, Ultency’s core pitch reportedly lies in
transparency and risk control. Every trade routed through the engine is tracked
from the client’s MT5 terminal to the liquidity provider with “microsecond
precision,” allowing brokers to pinpoint slippage, track pricing discrepancies,
and visualize market depth on execution.
Additionally, the system also includes monitoring
dashboards and risk management tools integrated directly into the MT5 manager
terminal. Brokers can see exposures, A-book and B-book flows, and identify
toxic order flow in real time.
Liquidity Access Made Simpler
MetaQuotes also announced a built-in “liquidity
gallery” enabling brokers to compare providers based on latency and performance
metrics without leaving the MT5 platform.
“We have already integrated liquidity providers and we
are adding them intuitively in a gallery for the brokers to access them
straight within their Meta Trader 5 platform, so they can see their offerings,
their details, and they can see some crucial information that is going to help
their brokers to decide which liquidity provider they're going to work with,” he explained.
The engine’s internal communication system allows
direct negotiation and onboarding of liquidity partners from within the trading
environment – a feature Theodoulou expects will streamline institutional
relationships.
“We're going to extend this further and we're going to
show real statistics regarding the quality of execution for each liquidity provider
to have for each broker to be able to understand the quality of execution with
each liquidity provider if it's executing on their promises,” he emphasised.
“So it's going to help them better decide with which
liquidity provider to work with,” he concluded.
Target Users and Market Impact
Ultency is aimed broadly at MT5 license holders – from
brokers and hedge funds to banks and proprietary trading firms. By eliminating
third-party bridges and reducing infrastructure costs, MetaQuotes positions the
product as a scalability enabler for firms expanding into new markets.
“No third-party bridges are needed for Ultency to
operate,” Theodoulou explained, “because it has everything we discussed, all the connectivity with
liquidity providers and reduces any development costs or maintenance that may
come with other technologies.”
“Ultency supports various order types including market
orders, limit orders and so on and has all the risk management tools embedded
into your MT5 and to the Ultency matching engine so you can have the different
rule sets to apply for different market volatility trends and so forth to match
your clients' requirements,” he added.
In closing, Theodoulou invited brokers to test Ultency
free for three months. “We believe Ultency takes MT5 to the next level –
faster, more transparent, and easier to scale.”
He summarized MetaQuotes’ push to reinforce its trading infrastructure as markets demand ever-lower latency and
greater execution transparency.
