MetaQuotes, the Cyprus-based developer of the MetaTrader platforms, launched metatrader.com today (Wednesday), positioning the site as a centralized financial information hub for retail traders, market analysts, and algorithmic developers. The portal aggregates market data, news, charting tools, and a developer marketplace under a single domain, the company announced.

MetaQuotes has been actively expanding its product ecosystem beyond the core MT4 and MT5 platforms in recent months. In December 2025, the company revamped pricing for its Ultency liquidity bridge solution, shifting from a fixed monthly fee to a volume-based model, in a move targeting third-party bridge providers that had built businesses around the MetaTrader infrastructure.
Entering a Market Already Dominated by TradingView and Investing.com
The launch extends MetaQuotes' footprint beyond the trading terminals it licenses to brokers. The company said the site is built for a broad audience, from traders "taking their first steps" to institutional users and software developers working on custom trading applications. The portal uses existing MQL5.com account credentials, so traders already registered in the MetaQuotes community do not need to create a separate login.
The financial data portal space metatrader.com enters is already heavily contested. TradingView, founded in 2011, reported more than 100 million traders on its platform and roughly 200 million monthly visits as of early 2026, according to company data. The platform covers more than 1.3 million instruments and operates a social network where traders publish and comment on chart ideas, a format that metatrader.com's "Charts & Ideas" section appears to replicate.

Investing.com, another established rival, offers real-time quotes, economic calendars, and news aggregation across a wide range of asset classes, with a similarly broad audience. Both competitors have years of brand recognition among retail traders that MetaQuotes will need to navigate.
Where metatrader.com attempts to differentiate is in its integration with the MQL5 developer ecosystem. The Algo section includes a marketplace for ready-to-use MetaTrader applications, including automated trading robots, custom indicators, and trading panels, alongside a repository of source code called MQL5 Algo Forge.
The company says it hosts more than 2,000 articles specifically on developing algorithmic trading systems. For existing MetaQuotes customers, that tight coupling with tools they already use could be the clearest reason to visit a new portal rather than an established one.
What the Portal Offers - and How the Company Describes It
On the data side, metatrader.com provides real-time price quotes covering more than 11,000 instruments, the company said, including U.S. equities , currency pairs, commodities, indices, and metals. Each instrument page includes statistics, fundamental data, and curated news. Users can open interactive charts and apply technical indicators directly in the browser.
For market context, the site pulls content from more than 30 providers, the company said, including Reuters, Bloomberg, and Yahoo Finance. It also features heat maps and top gainers and losers rankings for broader market scanning. The company described these tools as helping traders "respond quickly to market changes and make informed trading decisions," characterizing the news aggregation as covering "key economic events" alongside price forecasts for currencies, stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
The Charts & Ideas section allows registered users to share trade setups and market scenarios with other community members, mirroring the social interaction model that TradingView made central to its own growth.
Developer Tools at the Core
The algorithmic trading section is arguably where metatrader.com has the most existing foundation to build on. The MQL5 community, which the new portal integrates with, has been a long-running ecosystem for MetaTrader developers, hosting signals for copy trading, app sales, and documentation for the MQL5 programming language.
MT5 surpassed MT4 in combined trading volume for the first time in Q1 2025, according to MetaQuotes data, a shift that has accelerated developer interest in MT5-compatible tools.
The Algo Forge, described as a "repository and social network for developers," adds a GitHub-like layer to the marketplace, where developers can share and collaborate on source code. The company also includes complete MQL5 documentation and a guidebook covering the use of neural networks in trading, the announcement said.
MetaQuotes has been building out the MT5 payment infrastructure in parallel. In 2024, the company launched a Nasdaq tick data subscription service through MetaTrader 5, giving traders access to up to 20 years of historical tick data through the platform's demo server environment.
A Consolidation Play After Turbulent Years
The metatrader.com launch follows a period in which MetaQuotes drew significant attention for moves that affected its broker and prop firm client base. The company raised licensing fees for MetaTrader 4 and MT5 by approximately 20-25% at the start of 2025, pushing the combined monthly cost for brokers running both platforms to an estimated $50,000 or more, depending on the package. The increase followed years of near-monopoly pricing power that the company has built by dominating the retail FX and CFD brokerage technology market.
A consumer-facing portal does not directly generate broker licensing revenue, but it does create a channel for MetaQuotes to build brand recognition and community loyalty independent of the brokers that distribute its terminals.
