Addressing your queries: Goodbye MetaTrader4, hello SFX Core
We understand that change can feel overwhelming, especially for those who have relied on MetaTrader4 for years. While this platform will soon be retired, SFX Core is here to not just replace MetaTrader4, but to elevate your trading experience to new heights.
Rest assured, your live accounts and full trading history will be seamlessly migrated, ensuring a smooth transition with no disruption. You’ll continue to trade on SFX WebTrader and our mobile apps, with your login credentials and passwords remaining unchanged. If you trade using the MT4 Terminal or MT4 Mobile, please be advised that you must switch to the SFX WebTrader or SFX Mobile apps by October 8th on demo accounts and by October 20th on live accounts. To retain your trading demo history, we urge you to export it promptly, as it will no longer be accessible after October 8th.
For those utilizing MT4-based indicators or Expert Advisors (EAs), you can continue automated trading after adapting your tools accordingly. While SFX Core doesn’t support MQL4, we’ve developed an alternative solution that allows you to maintain automated trading and custom indicators via the SimpleFX API. Our support team is ready to assist you in adapting your Indicators and Expert Advisors for the SFX Core environment by providing swift responses to SimpleFX API-related queries.
