In a pivotal move within the forex industry,
MyFundedFX has announced a strategic pivot in response to
ThinkMarkets‘ decision to discontinue MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) offerings to evaluation services. This decision impacts many entities reliant on ThinkMarkets for accessing these MetaTrader platforms.
Uninterrupted Service for DXtrade Users
For traders currently leveraging DXtrade through
MyFundedFX, operations will proceed as normal without any disruption. This assurance highlights
MyFundedFX’s ability to maintain service continuity for a portion of its client base amidst industry-wide changes.
Future Path for MT4 and MT5 Platform Users
Traders on MT4 and MT5 platforms have been assured of uninterrupted trading in the short term. Yet,
MyFundedFX is setting in motion a transition strategy which mandates the migration of any new challenges initiated on these platforms to an alternative platform by February 29th. This shift will culminate in all ThinkMarkets MT4 and MT5 accounts being migrated to DXtrade later in the month.
Exploring ThinkTrader and Other Platforms
In lieu of MetaQuotes’ platforms, ThinkMarkets has introduced ThinkTrader, its proprietary trading platform, designed to offer an enriched, adaptable trading experience, compatible with tools like DXtrade.
MyFundedFX is actively exploring integration with ThinkTrader, as well as with cTrader and Match Trader, providing traders the flexibility to transition to these platforms. The pursuit of
MyFundedFX’s own licenses for MT4 and MT5 further underscores its dedication to delivering a broad spectrum of reliable trading solutions.
Industry Impact and Transition Analysis
The cessation of MetaTrader support by ThinkMarkets has prompted discussions regarding the implications for prop firms and their clientele. Nevertheless, the expected impact on evaluation prop firms is minimal to very low, with many, including
MyFundedFX, already transitioning to platforms like DXtrade to avert potential disruptions.
For customers who are well-versed with MetaTrader platforms, adapting to new platforms may introduce initial hurdles, such as becoming acquainted with different interfaces and functionalities. Despite the short adjustment period for many, the industry is poised to quickly adapt, ensuring the continuity of trading activities for all involved.
