Swissquote Bank, the Swiss online brokerage and provider of financial services, has revealed that it has updated its MetaTrader 5 platforms to include the hedging features introduced by the MetaQuotes company earlier this year.
Hedging allows traders to hold multiple positions on the same instrument, including in opposite directions, and its absence was a longtime drawback in MT5 compared to its older and more popular rival platform MT4.
Back in April the CEO of MetaQuotes called on the many users of MT4 to make the switch hoping that offering an hedging option will finally get them to upgrade to MT5 – Swissquote is now putting this premise to the test.
