It was launched in 2010 and its purpose is to eventually replace the Metatrader 4 platform. The platform interface differs from Metatrader 4 but not to the extent that MT4 users will find it hard to adopt to. - The new platform offers more icons and is easier to navigate on its interface. Same as with the previous version, the users can use and create their own scripts and Expert Advisors for automatic trading. - The introduction to STP and ECN environment can be considered as the main change of the new platform. The Mertatrader 5 provides access to trades on information regarding the Depth of the Market and they can engage in one click trading.
