We wrote about Metaquotes warning and suing several providers who are abusing or using its protocols and technologies without proper authorization few weeks ago. Today Metaquotes made the information public and disclosed to its clients that one of the firms it’s targeting is Xogee. Xogee is a major forex mobile platforms provider offering mobile trading applications such as MT4 iPhone and Android.
Metaquotes states that on March 15th it received a court order prohibiting Xogee from selling products that use the Metatrader 4/5 technology. Metaquotes also claims that despite the order these products are still being sold.

But after June, 2012 when metaquotes stops supporting mt4 builds prior to 416, there might be a shakedown, no?
The bigger issue is metaquotes attempting to assert too much control over how its trading platform can be connected. I suppose they really want to “Apple-ize” their metatrader ecosystem, but still it doesn’t make sense to not allow these people to develop and simply create rules for the development (hint: API)
If a competitor has dropped a superior product or add-on to yours, why not “join them” and learn something from what they do?
Something tells me that not many will follow MB’s example 😉 I can’t see too many brokers actually paying their clients…
