A recent update to the MetaTrader 5 mobile app for iOS devices has been released, bringing multiple enhancements and features aimed at improving the user experience for traders.
Among the new features, users can now create custom labels on charts through the addition of a text object. To utilize this function, simply access the chart objects menu, select “Add Text,” input the desired label, and choose a location on the chart to place it. This feature allows for two points: one for positioning and another for directional adjustments.
In addition, a new on-chart objects menu has been introduced, which appears at the bottom of the screen right after an object is created. This facilitates quick modifications to key properties without having to navigate away from the active chart view, making it more convenient for users.
Another significant enhancement is the countdown timer that indicates the remaining time until the current bar closes. This feature is available across different timeframes, from minute charts to daily ones, providing useful information for traders whose strategies rely heavily on bar dynamics and timing.
Users can activate the countdown timer through the chart settings, with the timer displayed on the vertical scale beneath the current price for easy visibility.
The crosshair mode has also seen improvements, evolving to function as a ruler. By activating the crosshair and marking a starting point, users can then tap to define an endpoint, allowing them to measure the distance between these two points. The tooltip will provide detailed information regarding the price difference, percentage change, and a count of the bars involved.
Furthermore, position tickets have been added to the trading history display, enhancing record-keeping and review capabilities for trading activities. The app now more prominently indicates any quote delays that may affect trading instruments, making it easier for users to stay informed about the performance and responsiveness of their chosen assets.
In terms of payment options, the app now supports a broader variety of providers within its integrated payment system, ensuring users have flexible payment methods available.
The chat functionality has also been upgraded, now including a document viewer as well as support for *.webp images. Users will find enhanced search capabilities within the chat section, streamlining communication and information retrieval.
Overall, these updates to the MetaTrader 5 mobile application for iOS promise to provide traders with enhanced tools and a more seamless experience, aligning with the evolving demands of mobile trading. The improvements reflect a commitment to delivering an efficient platform suited to diverse trading strategies.
