Prop Firm UWM Reintroduces MetaTrader
After four months of turmoil in the proprietary trading industry due to MetaQuotes' license suspensions, prop trading firms are gradually reintroducing the MetaTrader platform. Union Wealth Management (UWM) is the latest company to join this trend, relaunching the platform favored by retail traders.
UWM announced on social media that MetaTrader 4 and 5 have been reintegrated into their product line, along with new trading challenges.
However, migration from other UWM-supported platforms to MetaTrader is not possible, as different brokers now handle MetaTrader operations.
UWM was among the prop firms that lost MetaTrader platform support in February when MetaQuotes began tightening control over prop companies, also banning U.S. users.
Many brokers that previously provided prop trading firms access terminated all agreements, fearing additional regulatory consequences, regardless of whether these firms served U.S. clients.
While some prop firms lost access to MetaQuotes platforms, others have now regained access through new partnerships.
其他自營公司,例如:Goat Funded Trader (GFT) 成功重新向客戶推出 MetaTrader,根據這篇新聞表示 GFT 是通過實施「內部技術」。不過單一個案代表自營公司是否廣泛恢復 MT 的服務也很難說,但一個新的趨勢確實正在出現。
New Agreement with Eightcap?
According to information from international media (Finance Magnates), UWM may be offering MetaTrader 4 and 5 to its clients again through a "new deal based on updated agreements" with Eightcap.
Interestingly, Eightcap was allegedly one of the core brokers involved in the prop trading industry issues in February, when many firms reported that the company terminated services, forcing them to seek new partners or migrate to other platforms.
Under the new agreement, UWM appears to be merely an "introducer" for Eightcap, with the broker managing the prop trading challenges offered on the platform, as well as all deposits and payments.
A banner ad on one of the websites states, "Platform access for challengers is provided by Eightcap Global."
