MetaTrader returns as UWM reintroduces the trading platform, marking a significant shift in the proprietary trading industry.
UWM is beginning to reintroduces the widely used MetaTrader platforms four months after MetaQuotes’ license suspensions caused widespread disruption. Union Wealth Management (UWM) is the latest firm to reintroduce MetaTrader 4 and 5, following Goat Funded Trader’s (GFT) relaunch over the weekend.
UWM announced the return of MetaTrader on Monday via social media, highlighting new trading challenges available to clients. However, transitioning from other platforms is not feasible because a different broker now manages MetaTrader operations for UWM.
The turmoil began in February when MetaQuotes imposed tighter restrictions on proprietary trading firms, leading to a ban on US clients and causing many brokers to sever ties with prop firms to avoid regulatory repercussions. Consequently, prop firms lost access to MetaQuotes platforms, but some are now regaining access through new partnerships.
GFT successfully reintroduced MetaTrader to its clients using “in-house tech,” hinting at a potential industry shift. UWM’s reintroduction of MetaTrader was facilitated by a new agreement with Eightcap, a broker previously implicated in February’s disruptions. Under this new deal, UWM acts as a referrer, with Eightcap handling the administration of prop trading challenges and all financial transactions.
A banner promoting MetaTrader’s return states, “Eightcap Global facilitates trading platform access for Challengers,” confirming Eightcap’s role in the new setup. This development marks a cautious but notable shift in the prop trading industry, suggesting a trend toward re-establishing MetaTrader’s presence among prop firms. Finance Magnates continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
In conclusion, UWM’s decision to reintroduce MetaTrader underscores its resilience in navigating regulatory challenges and adapting to meet client needs. This move marks a return to familiar ground and signifies a strategic pivot towards stability and growth in the proprietary trading sector.
