Essential MT4 Plugins for Forex Brokers
In 2010, Metaquotes, the largest trading software provider from Russia, released its MetaTrader 5 trading platform, a new version that was supposed to gradually replace the previous MetaTrader 4. More than years have passed, but MT4 and, respectively, its MetaTrader 4 plugins are still popular with all forex market participants: from brokers to liquidity providers and traders.
According to the statistics from B2B, which is our competitor and simultaneously a client and partner who distributes our solutions, as of April 2021, 32,4% of brokers prefer MT4. The platform’s simplicity, its capability with third-party solutions, as well as a huge number of functions made it very powerful and in-demand.
MT4 includes interactive charts, 9 timeframes, 23 analytical tools and 30 technical indicators that can help users trade. In addition, users can use stop loss and take profit parameters to control their trading process. Brokers can decide what types of orders to offer to their clients.
Here is the list of essential MetaTrader 4 plugins that can assist forex brokers and liquidity providers in making their businesses more efficient and profitable.
