Owing to the announcement of Apple that it’s removing popular forex and CDF trading platforms, MT4 and MT5, Antelope is here to uncover what that means for traders and brokers and how they can fix the inconvenience.
The Story Behind the MT4&MT5 News
After Apple made the somewhat shocking announcement, the ever-so-popular trading platforms MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 (MT4&MT5), developed by MetaQuotes, can no longer be found or downloaded on the App Store. But what’s the reasoning behind the move? Luckily Antelope has followed the events surrounding the Apple ban. Here’s what we know.
MetaQuotes representatives claim that the assumption that the move was tied to Western sanctions on Russia is false. However, the removal of the trading platforms from the App Store already cause significant losses within the company. In fact, Apple’s ban will affect the whole market and the industry, not just the involved parties. But why did Apple do it?
What seems to be cited as the main reason behind this unfortunate situation is that the trading apps go against the App Store Review Guidelines. MetaQuotes is talking to Apple and trying to fix the situation, giving back traders and brokers the option to download their platforms from the App Store. The resolution is still to be uncovered.
What Traders and Brokers Should Know
However, there is some good news on the subject. The MT4&MT5 trading apps can still be found and downloaded on the Google Play Store. Apple also provided assurance that the apps are still available to use for those who had already downloaded them. This means that these traders and brokers will still have access to the apps on their devices and all in-app purchases, as well. Before things get resolved, we couldn’t help but wonder what traders and brokers can do in the meantime.
