An exclusive offering in Singapore: MetaTrader 5
The MT5 multi-asset trading platform is acknowledged by industry experts to be simple to use and highly versatile .
At the time of its introduction, Phillip Futures ran a promotional campaign to introduce retail traders to the advantages of the platform. The inaugural MT5 Forex Trading Challenge, which was held in May 2017, received an overwhelming response from investors and traders. Many individuals who took part in the competition gained financially as well. Phillip Futures awarded prizes of a total value of US$52,000 to a total of 349 winners.
The MT5 platform has rapidly gained in popularity since its introduction last year. Phillip Futures currently has 1,674 clients on the MT5 platform, including both demo + live clients, and that number continues to grow.
Why has the MT5 become so popular? The state-of-the-art platform offers users many fundamental and technical analysis tools. You can also automate your trading by using robots. These robots execute your instructions without the need for human intervention.
One year on and Phillip Futures is still the only brokerage in Singapore to support the MT5, offering ZERO commission trading on the platform.
To further enhance its support of the platform, Phillip Futures also entered into a partnership with forex news provider FXStreet in 2018.
FXStreet provides news that is relevant to the forex market in real time. It also offers forex analysis, exchange rates, charts, and an economic calendar. These features are now available to users of Phillip Futures’ MT5 platform.
In another positive development that will help its clients, Phillip Futures plans to introduce an industry-recognised pattern recognition tool. This will help investors to spot trading opportunities and maximise their profit potential.
A well-deserved award for continued innovation
Even as the recent “Most Preferred Forex Broker – Gold” award affirms Phillip Futures’ recent moves, the firm is not expected to stand still.
The philosophy of the firm is best summed up by the statement made by Mr Teyu Che Chern, the chief executive officer of Phillip Futures when he received the award at ShareInvestor Awards 2018.
“These awards will encourage us to continue innovating and give customers our best in every way,” he said.
