Stan the Man on Exclusive: GMO Click UK retail FX unit Z.com Trade posts £1.8 million loss in Fiscal 2017None of these foreign brokers have a real strategy, certainly not to really compete with the likes of IG. CMC, Plus500 et al. They just hope that they can throw a few quid into marketing and leverage off their name to make some money. But like the man says, it ain't so easy.

AwarenessForex on MetaQuotes simplifies request to open a real account in MetaTrader 5 iOSA 20% increase of brokers offering mt4 can be technically correct. You go from 10 brokers to 12 brokers. So there is your 20% increase. More likely that you will have MT4 and MT5 as two separate platforms, unless MQ can integrate MQL4 into MT5 somehow.
