AMarkets to update trading symbols on MetaTrader platforms
Global online broker AMarkets has announced upcoming changes to its trading platforms: the names of instruments in the Commodities and Indices groups will be updated. The changes, set to take effect on September 27, will apply to all account types (live and demo) on the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms.
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
The initiative is part of the company’s ongoing program to improve service quality and will not affect trading conditions, according to the broker’s website.
Simplified instrument names
Under the new system, existing suffixes such as “.spot” will be removed, making the instrument list clearer and easier for traders. For example, BRENT.spot will become BRENT, and WTI.spot will appear simply as WTI. Similarly, COFFEE.spot will change to COFFEE, and CAC40.spot to CAC40. Indexes will also adopt the new format: S&P500.spot will now be shown as S&P500, and DJ30.spot will become DowJones30. In total, 20 instruments will be updated, including cocoa, sugar, corn, wheat, cotton, soybeans, as well as major global indices such as DAX30, FTSE100, EuroStoxx50, Nikkei225, and Nasdaq100.
What will happen to open positions?
AMarkets clarified that all open positions will remain unchanged. For clients, the only difference will be the updated instrument names displayed in their terminals. Trading and active orders will continue as usual.
Guidance for EA users
The company warned clients using Expert Advisors (EAs) or automated trading systems that updates will be required. Since the robots are linked to specific symbols, they must be reattached to charts with the updated names. AMarkets recommends making these adjustments over the weekend following the update, before trading resumes.
Focus on client convenience
The broker emphasized that the update is aimed at simplifying workflows and reducing confusion, particularly for new clients. The unification of symbols across platforms is expected to improve usability, transparency, and the overall trading experience.
Founded in 2007, AMarkets continues to position itself as a forward-looking broker, combining technological upgrades with client-oriented service.
Previously, AMarkets rolled out a major update to its mobile app, transforming it from a standard trading tool into what the company calls a “personal trading assistant.”
