The platform has met all the technical requirements specified by GBOT and MetaQuotes has been granted ISV status (independent software vendor) by the Exchange.

After having commenced trading on its exchange platform in October 2010, GBOT has been focusing on enhancing global connectivity, improving product diversification and creating new asset classes in accordance with market expectations and requirements. This development will enable all brokers using   MetaTrader5 to seamless connect to GBOT and trade in the exchange’s product suite of international as well as African commodities and currencies.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Joseph Bosco, MD and CEO of GBOT said,” We have always believed in providing the best facilities to financial market participants trading on our exchange platform and enabling them to discover the benefits of true price discovery and risk hedging. We are happy to have certified MetaTrader 5 trading platform and to have granted ISV status to MetaQuotes. We expect enhanced participation on GBOT by MetaQuotes’ members and their traders as well as clients who could immensely benefit from the synergy between GBOT’s trading platform and the facilities extended by MetaQuotes.”

While expressing his views, Mr. Gaies Chreis, COO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. said, “We have successfully created an interface that can connect the global broking and trading community to an international exchange like GBOT. With the interest in the African continent increasing by the day, our members as well as the users of our software will be able to trade in African commodities and currencies as well as other asset classes such as Equities and CFDs when they are launched for trading on GBOT. Trading on GBOT will also empower them to mitigate risks which arise during the course of international business due to unpredictable commodity price movements and currency market volatility.
