As a global online multi-asset trading service provider and provider of currency data and analysis, OANDA has launched MetaTrader 5 in Japan. This forex broker introduced MT5 to demo account holders in December 2019, making it available on live accounts.

The addition of MetaTrader 5 to OANDA's arsenal of trading platforms was driven by requests from clients and the company's commitment to meeting the needs of its clients and expanding its product range. The MT5 platform will be available in regions other than Japan in the coming months.

Kurt vom Scheidt, Chief Operating Officer with OANDA, comments:

As a global leader in online multi-asset trading services, OANDA is built on a foundation of transparency and integrity. Throughout our 24 year history, we have worked hard to meet the ever-changing needs of our clients. That's why we're pleased to announce the launch of MetaTrader 5 in Japan, which provides access to advanced charting and technical indicators, as well as expanded functionality for EAs, ultimately enabling clients to improve their algorithmic trading results.

He continued:

We believe the addition of MetaTrader 5 to our platforms will further enhance the trading experience we offer our clients and strengthen our position as the number one foreign exchange broker in Japan. We also look forward to launching it worldwide soon, in response to client requests.

In addition to the news of the addition of the MT5 trading platform, OANDA also announced its latest collaboration with Chasing Return this March. Chasing Return is a Fintech company based in Dublin and has played a role in developing OANDA client access through the Trading Performance Management portal since 2018.
