Two months ago Metaquotes announced its plans to develop an iPhone mobile trading terminal for Metatrader 4. Ever since Metatrader 4 was launched it lacked a mobile app and due to this quite a few mobile development companies (iphorex, forexonthego and others) emerged in the market.
Metaquotes did release a mobile app for its next generation of trading platforms – Metatrader 5, however as there are still hundreds of brokers offering Metatrader 4 it finally succumbed to their requirements and rolled out an iPhone trading terminal for MT4. For now this mobile terminal which was available on Windows OS based phones for a while is available on Apple store for iPhones, iPad and iPod which for now leaves out other smartphones users who use Blackberries and Android based phones. Metaquotes will probably roll out native mobile apps for these platforms soon enough.

Without any doubt this would be highly detrimental to the mobile firms’ business and their clients will suffer as a result.

The user interface of mt4 iphone is COMPLETELY COPIED ( EVEN THE COLOR) from our Tradeinterceptor interface : so this company is not even able to create their own user interface. ( as they have copied metastock from the beginning)
I would not buy metastock share if they were pubblic.
In my last post please read i would not buy metaquote share
I agree with Rodolfo; but to an extent…MQ isn’t heading into a downward spiral. They are simply improving their product to make it more attractive to their client (ie. Brokers). I think with time, all 3rd party developers in the FX market will slowly begin to fold, as brokers will tend to migrate over to the MQ solution – seeing its only a one time fee (no tech charges based on volume) and furthermore, its supported by the makers of MT4. The only ones that will remain standing, are those that offer unique integrations and content to users; features that… Read more »
