Updated MT4 Forex Platform – Coming Soon

MetaQuotes has recently started the beta-tests of the new update for Meta Trader 4 platform. The updated Yadix MT4 platform will include several beneficial features for traders at Yadix Forex Broker. Below we have listed some of the features that can be expected upon release.

Order Execution Time Notification
Most experienced Forex traders understand that order execution does take some time to be filled at the liquidity providers. Traditional brokers can take 200-500ms, but during that time, the price level could change, and your orders would be facing the slippage. It is clear that the lower the execution time is, the lower the slippage and more accurate order filling will be.

Due to the technical infrastructure that hosts all servers and data-centres used by Yadix on the Equinix Exchange, latency is lower and execution speeds can be as low as 20ms. Using the Yadix Free VPS, execution speeds have been recorded as low as 1 ms giving expert advisors a real market advantage.

Previously, for measuring the execution time, forex traders would have to install special plug-ins and record the execution times. Following the new MT4 update, all execution times will be recorded in the journal of each Metatrader 4.

Execution times are very important, but for some scalping strategies and EAs, it is crucial as slippage can eat the profitability of any forex order. The execution time notification will allow traders to make sure that we reduce the chance of slippage by keeping the execution time at the lowest possible level and judge your brokers execution time even when using a VPS.

Search Bar
Another new feature that will be useful is the search bar. It is located in the top right corner and allows you to search the required information through the entire platform and even through the specific categories.

It can be used as a shortcut to find specific items installed on your MT4 such as an indicator, account or expert advisor. New traders can use it to find additional Forex information, as the search also crawls all information on the mql4 forum and blogs.

Other features
There a several more features that have been added to the Meta Trader 4 platform for beta testing that include the application market section. There you will be able to see the indicators and expert advisors available to trade with on Meta Trader 4. Previously, this community potion was only available on the MT5 platform. It seems that the popularity of the MT4 has encouraged Metaquotes to transfer the positive and popular features of MT5 to the MT4 platform, whilst still keeping all the infamous features that makes MT4 the world’s best trading platform.

Currently, the new Meta Trader 4 update is in the stage of beta-test, and the last build that I've tested still had a few serious bugs. Although, the MetaQuotes promises us to release a new build every day, so there is a good chance that those bugs will be fixed in the short time.


The new Meta Trader 4 update has many new features to help clients improve their trading experience with Yadix. Whilst the new build is still in the testing phase at Metaquotes, as soon as the updated Yadix MT4 is released, we will gladly update our clients with the final updated functionalities and our support team will be on hand to help you whilst you get used to trading and implementing the new features.
