Exclusive: MetaQuotes Working on a New Business Development Platform

The platform is expected to be focused on matching advertisers and websites.

MetaQuotes is developing a new product, expanding the software company’s portfolio into the advertising space, sources with knowledge of the matter shared with Finance Magnates. The name of the product is Finteza and it is broadening the scope of the developer of the MetaTrader trading platform suite.

The solution is designed to bridge the gaps between online advertisers and the websites where they post their banners, providing transparent details about the effectiveness of campaigns, and making suggestions on how to improve efficiency.

The new product could further extend the influence of MetaQuotes into the industry by providing brokers with an effective tool to monitor the performance of their campaigns. The solution is designed to provide detailed analytics into every campaign that they run, be it mobile or desktop focused. It is set to launch some time later this year.

Finance Magnates has reached out to MetaQuotes for more details on the project, but at the time of publication has not received a response.

Online advertisers and website owners have been looking for ways to make their businesses less reliant on Google for years and the new product may be intended to deliver more independence to the market.

With the weight of the software company in the retail trading industry, the product may have a crucial initial client base. With the latest changes to marketing practices which ESMA is looking to enforce for EU-regulated brokers, the move could be a strategic one for the company.

Support for Windows XP/Windows 2003/Windows Vista to be discontinued after 01 October 2017

MetaQuotes Software Corp. 2017.06.01 12:02



Windows XP was released almost 16 years ago, on 25th of October, 2001. It is now considered to be an outdated operating system. Microsoft stopped supporting this system 3 years ago, because potential hardware capabilities could no longer be realized on Windows XP due to technical limitations.

Being an outdated system, Windows XP features a number of dangerous vulnerabilities, one of which was recently revealed by the WannaCry encryptor. That is why:

The MetaTrader platforms will no longer support Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista after 01 October 2017.

Older versions of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 will continue to work on these systems, but will not be able to receive updates after 01 October 2017. Also, installers will not run on these operating systems.

The minimum required operating system version for running MetaTrader 4/5 will be Windows 7. However, we strongly recommend using the 64-bit versions of Windows 10.

That sucks. Windows XP was the last usable and professional OS from Microsoft. I still use XP pro 64 bit on one of my desktop computers and never had a single issue with it. Runs great and super fast.

Windows 7 is also OK but they added massive amount of spyware in 2015. (I don't like this)

Windows 10 has some nice features and improvements but I hate the fact that they track every single move of the user.

Most people have no idea about this, but with Windows 10 MS collect info about everything you do!

They record everything! All of your files, any type of text info, pictures, documents, web usage, keystrokes, voice/sounds. They can even access your camera and microphone at any time.

All of this data is recorded on hidden encrypted files. With each update the collected data is send to MS and various other servers.

And there is no way to disable all of this.

I just can't stand Microsoft and all of their 1984 Big brother BS.

Metaquotes really needs to improve the support for Linux.

Windows 10 is far superior to even Windows 7. It is now possible to run more than few applications at once along with MT4 .

XP in the words was in the words of Scott McNealy a "hairball". It was slow, crash prone and had security holes too many to count.

This is a great move by MetaQuotes.

I dont see how they can leverage a retail trading platform to enhance an advertising product, but others might have better insight thqn myself.

true but that doesnt mean that the new one can be delivered as junk

such as win 8.0 8.1 and win9.0 even killed before release and 10 was free for 7-8 users for a year or so

Absolutely, I agree with this!

Google have more control about your life than Microsoft. But really people have adapt to new times. Or if you dont like you can do like Trump and be next USA president and change rules in your style. But this kind of topic is like MT4 or MT5. I think dont go anyplace. Many people dont like changes. But the problem is not the change, they are the problem for themselves

I can remember the bad old times of XP. Crashes every day. All I had to do was run Excel and a few other programs like MT4 and it was almost a certainty. Even Vista was a noticeable improvement. Now with Wjndows 10, its practically non existent. In fact last month was the first time and I was so astonished I forgot how to recover.

XP has no place as someone's OS of choice. It belongs in a museum with DOS and Lotus 1-2-3.

if xp crashes you should check your hardware MAINBOARD RAM HD etc.. or installation, I have worked with each of them, including win ME, if you can remember

I said I have used
from 3.1 to 10 every update
I like the improvements but I also remember the days with ME vista (7 was moderate) 8.0 8.1 and switching to 10 was horrible, I have installed all my work, gaming laptops and desktops severel times due to the junk software

you shouldnt ignore 9 was killed before release, that must give u some idea and I am nt smarter then banks and us army, hae nice day old man
