OANDA launches MetaTrader 5 multi-asset platform in Japan

A global leader in online multi-asset trading services and currency data and analytics, OANDA now offers MetaTrader 5 to clients in Japan. Having first introduced it to demo account holders in December, the firm has now enabled Japanese clients to trade on the platform through their live accounts.

The decision to add MetaTrader 5 to OANDA’s range of trading platforms was made in direct response to requests from clients, further driving home the firm’s commitment to addressing the needs of active traders and expanding its range of products. The platform will also be made available in other geographies over the coming months.
