Protection against DDoS attacks is essential for Cloudflare’s customers, however, speed also remains important. MetaTrader 5 platform leverages Cloudflare network to route traffic more efficiently, and in this way, it is able to decrease latency and improve the stability of network connections. Platform users can take advantage of higher speeds in incoming exchange data rates compared to a direct connection.
